A gloriously sizeable five bedroom family home, extended to the rear and with full dormer loft for masses of living space. Characterfully finished throughout in an eye-catching array of hues, this property is as striking as it is spacious.
Located in the sought-after environs of Forest Gate Village, you have acres upon acres of open green spaces just moments away to the north and east and plenty of transport options within easy reach.
IF YOU LIVED HERE…
You'll be luxuriating in over 1200 square feet of sumptuous living space – and that's not including the cellar or garden. First up is your twenty four foot long through lounge, original timber floorboards run underfoot throughout, complementing the cream and soft grey walls. There's a working vintage wood burner in the fireplace and everything's bathed in light from the bay window to the front and patio door to the rear.
Head on in and you come to the dazzling highlight; your 210 square foot kitchen/diner. Impeccably stylish from front to back, smoky slate grey floor tiling sets off the kitchen's burnt orange walls and glossy white cabinets to fine effect, while the conservatory/dining area adds royal blue and canary yellow to the colour palette and ushers in floods of natural light.
Step out into the garden and you have a substantial patio giving way to a lush length of lawn, flourishing diverse foliage, mature greenery and a handy shed. A lovely outdoor solace. Back inside, and up that gorgeously rich timber staircase your master bedroom tips the scales at an impressive 140 square feet. Finished in mint white and vintage timber it sets the tone for you two remaining first floor bedrooms, another double and a generous single ideal for a child or home office.
Your first floor bathroom is every bit as spotless as you'll by now expect, with aquamarine floor tiling and an oversized rainfall shower over the tub, plus secondary handset. Upstairs again and you've two more bedrooms, both with striking Lincoln green flooring. One's an eighty five square foot double to the rear and an ingeniously arranged skylit space to the front, complete with sliding door and a further sparkling bathroom.
Outside and, as noted, you have a wealth of natural green spaces on your doorstep. Wanstead Flats, once the favoured hunting grounds of Henry VIII and still some the vastest open space for miles around, is barely three minutes from your front door, any time you ever fancy a morning run, evening stroll or need to exercise furry friends. Venture a little further for Forest Gate station, ten minutes on foot or three by bike, for direct eleven minute runs to Liverpool Street. Expect journey options to increase with the imminent arrival of Crossrail – platform and ticket office improvements have already been made.
WHAT ELSE?
- Local schools are plentiful and excellent. There are twenty primary/secondaries rated 'Good' or better less than a mile away on foot, an impressive seven of which are deemed 'Outstanding'.
- Your cellar's a full 130 square foot of space to develop as you wish. We've seen places like this turned into everything from home gyms to Tiki bars.
- Wanstead Park overground is less than a half mile on foot for the Gospel Oak to Barking overground line.

A WORD FROM THE OWNERS...
"Ridley Road is one of the most peaceful streets in London filled with friendly people and families. At the end of the street is Wanstead Flats and behind us is the large Victorian cemetery, which together give us clean, green air on two sides. We have on-street bike storage directly outside the house and you can cycle north across the Flats up to explore Wanstead Park, Epping Forest and beyond; you can also cycle west to Stratford, Westfield and the Olympic Park in 10-15 mins, and Victoria Park in 25 mins and so you really have the best of both worlds. Wanstead Flats offers short and long walks all year round - especially spectacular in winter -- as well as sports activities for kids and grownups. Walking a few minutes towards Forest Gate we are lucky to have amazing bars, coffee shops and bakeries in the railway arches as well as lots of community-run events such as the weekend market and the community garden."
