Pevensey Road, Forest Gate

A characterful two bedroom Victorian terrace in a well-loved Forest Gate pocket, with Wanstead Flats close by and Forest Gate Station within easy reach. Well maintained throughout, there’s plenty of original character here, along with two separate reception rooms, two double bedrooms and a south-east facing garden.

IF YOU LIVED HERE…

The bay-fronted reception makes a lovely first impression, bright and full of personality, with original wood flooring, decorative cornicing, an exposed fireplace and shelving tucked neatly into the alcoves. Behind it, the separate dining room continues the timber flooring and character details, with another fireplace and plenty of room to gather around the table. From here, the kitchen sits at the rear, pairing dark cabinetry with timber worktops and white metro tiling. French doors open directly onto the south-east facing garden, a generous, leafy space stretching away from the house.

Upstairs, both bedrooms are comfortable doubles, with the larger stretching across the front of the house. Back downstairs, the bathroom sits beyond the dining room and feels particularly characterful, with a freestanding roll-top bath, separate shower, patterned floor tiles, soft green walls and stained-glass detailing. Altogether, it’s an easy home to settle into, with the warmth and individuality of a Victorian terrace still very much intact.

A WORD FROM THE OWNER...
"We have loved living here and hope to stay in the local area – it’s been a wonderful place to bring up our young family. The large garden has been a huge plus, giving us plenty of space to relax, play and enjoy eating alfresco with family and friends. The location offers the best of both worlds: beautiful green spaces in one direction, and Westfield and central London within easy reach on the Elizabeth line in the other. The various pubs, Bakery, bars and restaurants on Winchelsea Road are all on the doorstep, while 2 stations and the independent shops and everyday essentials along Woodgrange Road are just a ten-minute walk away. The excellent choice of schools nearby has also made this a fantastic area for family life. The house also offers exciting potential for its next owners. We have detailed plans for an extension and loft conversion, prepared by an award-winning architect which show what could be possible, subject to securing the necessary permissions. What we will miss most, though, is the genuine sense of community – our neighbours are so friendly and always ready to help. We are genuinely sad to leave, but the time feels right for this much-loved house, with its cheeky name, to become a happy home for a new family."
