Offered chain-free for those keen to make this their new home.

If you lived here...

Tucked into the heart of Forest Gate’s ever-popular ‘Lanes Area’, this elegant Victorian mid-terrace offers a rich blend of period character and thoughtful modern living.

Behind its distinctive yellow-brick frontage, you’re welcomed into a wide, open-plan reception with rich, original-style wooden flooring underfoot. At the front, a generous bay window draws in morning light, while striking cast-iron fireplaces with clean-lined white mantels provide focal points in both reception spaces—balancing charm and simplicity with ease.

The kitchen-diner is a bright, practical hub. White cabinetry and solid wood worktops provide ample space for cooking, storage, and conversation. A gas hob and double oven invite you to cook properly, while French doors open out to the garden, making alfresco dinners an easy option. A soft eau de nil palette adds freshness, complemented by hardwearing tiled floors and a separate WC just beyond.

The rear garden is private and surprisingly long—nearly 50ft. It’s split into two levels: A paved terrace straight off the kitchen for easy outdoor dining, and a raised, gravelled section lined with timber fencing, ready for planting or relaxing. There’s even a garden room at the back—perfect for bikes, tools, or off-season clutter.

Upstairs, all three bedrooms are proper doubles, each filled with light thanks to generous windows. The principal bedroom spans the width of the house and looks out onto a quiet, tree-lined street. With twin windows facing west, it catches soft golden light well into the evening. The bathroom is clean and modern, with a full-size tub, overhead shower, and a vanity-mounted sink to keep things tidy.

Head up again, and the loft conversion offers a fourth bright and airy space, carpeted like the rest of the home for a sense of flow. There’s built-in storage, an ensuite with wet-room style shower, and a Velux window bringing light right where you need it.

This is a home that’s been cared for and well thought through—ready to be lived in, but with room for your own ideas too.

A word from the expert...

"When I decided to move to Forest Gate a few years ago, I was drawn by the great housing stock, the green spaces of Wanstead Flats and the friendly, up-and-coming vibe of independent boutiques, eateries, and bars.
I’ve spent many a happy weekend walking on the flats and in Wanstead Park. Often, i’ll finish up with an all-trimmings roast at The Holly Tree or perhaps a fantastic curry from The Wanstead Kitchen.
After living here for a while, you really start to feel happy and settled. I love the arty, independent feel of Forest Gate, and I get the impression i’m not the only one — it’s something all the locals nurture and support."
