If you lived here...

From the street, this home makes a strong first impression. The white-painted brickwork and bold royal blue front door feel clean, confident, and full of character. Step inside, and you’ll find warm wooden floors running throughout, setting a welcoming tone.

At the front of the house are two generously sized double bedrooms, each with large windows that bring in plenty of natural light. Just along the hall, there’s a smaller room—ideal as a home office, study, or nursery, depending on your needs.

The reception and dining area offers a flexible layout with built-in storage and over 110 square feet of space to work with—great for quiet nights in or casual gatherings.

Towards the back of the home, the bathroom and kitchen sit side by side. The bathroom is sleek and considered, with crisp white tiling, a striking black-framed glazed walk-in shower. A patchwork design monochrome tiled floor adds a touch of personality without shouting for attention.

The kitchen is bright and practical. You’ve got clean white cabinetry, grey metro tile splashbacks, and rich wooden countertops that bring some warmth to the space. The gas hob offers precise control for cooking, and the large window and glazed door give a clear view out to the garden.

Step outside, and the garden unfolds from a side return path into a relaxed and private spot that’s easy to maintain. Terracotta-coloured paving contrasts with mature trees and tidy beds, all bordered by smart, dark-stained fencing. There’s also a shed tucked away at the back and a few ornamental plants already thriving. Being south-facing, the garden enjoys plenty of sunlight all day long—ideal whether you're pottering with plants or enjoying a moment of calm.

A word from the owners...

"We’ve fallen in love with Forest Gate, especially our neighbourhood – so much that we’re only moving half a mile away! From the green space of Wanstead Flats to Sunday roasts at The Holly Tree (complete with miniature railway!), wine at Joyau, yoga and sauna at E7 Movement, breakfast at Wild Goose, and The Can Club for little ones – everything you need is right here. We love the strong community vibe, with jumble trails, run clubs, street parties, and the best neighbours."
