Set on a well placed Forest Gate street, this four bedroom double bay fronted home has a warm, characterful feel and a layout made for family life. There’s a spacious through reception, a bright extended kitchen diner with bi-fold doors, two bathrooms, a south east facing garden and a converted loft, with Winchelsea Arches, Wanstead Flats, Forest Gate Station and Wanstead Park Station all close by.
IF YOU LIVED HERE..
Step inside and the reception opens up beautifully from the entrance hall, running from the front bay through to the dining area beyond. Wooden floorboards, soft yellow walls, plantation shutters and an exposed brick chimney breast give the room a relaxed, personal feel. There’s space to settle by the fire, gather around a dining table, and let daily life unfold without the room ever feeling too formal.
At the rear, the extended kitchen diner brings a lovely shift in mood. Skylights draw light down from above, while bi-fold doors open the whole back of the house onto the south east facing garden. The kitchen feels both practical and inviting, with open shelving, generous worktop space and a thoughtful finish that gives the room personality without overcomplicating it. Outside, there’s a paved terrace for eating in the warmer months, with lawn and planting beyond. A cellar adds useful storage too.
The first floor is home to two bedrooms and a stylish family bathroom, where blue metro tiles, brass fittings and a freestanding bath give the space real character. Upstairs, the converted loft adds two further bedrooms and a second bathroom, with the larger loft bedroom enjoying skylights and eaves storage. It’s a flexible upper floor, whether you need room for children, guests, work, or a little separation at the end of the day.

A WORD FROM THE OWNER...
"We’ve loved living here - it feels like a real community, where we know our neighbours and often meet them for a drink at nearby Pretty Decent or The Holly Tree. Being so close to Wanstead Flats for walks, runs and climbing trees with our children is great too. And Tamping Grounds is the best coffee around (if you don’t believe us, ask the Guardian’s restaurant critic, who said something similar recently). "
