3 bed property for sale

Stork Road, Forest Gate E7

A charming three bedroom Victorian terraced home, recently renovated and thoughtfully updated, set on a quiet residential street in Forest Gate. Behind its attractive brick façade and excellent curb appeal you’ll find beautifully arranged interiors with period features throughout, a generous eat-in kitchen opening to the garden, and a useful cellar for additional storage. The ground floor benefits from underfloor heating, bringing an added sense of comfort to the thoughtfully renovated living spaces. The house also comes with planning permission already in place to convert the loft, creating a five bedroom, three bathroom home of approximately 1,500 sq ft.

If you lived here...

Stepping inside, the sense of proportion typical of a Victorian home is immediately clear. The front reception room is a calm and welcoming living space, centred around a handsome period fireplace with original detailing and framed by high ceilings and large windows bringing in plenty of natural light. Charred oak herringbone flooring runs underfoot, adding warmth and texture, while the considered décor allows the architectural features to take centre stage.

Moving through the ground floor, a second reception room offers a natural dining space, positioned perfectly between the living room and the kitchen. French doors lead out towards the garden, creating an easy flow for everyday living or relaxed gatherings with friends. Beyond this sits the eat-in kitchen, recently renovated with shaker-style cabinetry, 30mm white quartz worktops and space for a breakfast table. Large glazed doors open directly onto the garden, allowing light to travel right through the house and making the kitchen a natural hub of the home.

Upstairs you’ll find three well-proportioned bedrooms arranged around a bright landing, along with a spacious family bathroom finished in a calm, contemporary palette with a freestanding bath and plenty of natural light. The home also benefits from planning permission already granted to convert the loft, which would create a five bedroom, three bathroom property of approximately 1,500 sq ft if carried out. Back downstairs, the cellar provides excellent additional storage, always welcome in a Victorian home.

A word from the owner...

"We purchased this property in 2021. Since then we have done a back-to-brick restoration, lovingly restoring the original features that date back 130 years. We fitted out the home to high-spec, installing Bosch ovens, downdraft hobs, Lusso Stone sanitaryware and bespoke cabinetry.

The property benefits from a new Kitchen with integrated appliances including a dishwasher and fridge freezer, upstairs contemporary bathroom including a freestanding bath and walk in shower, a brand new boiler and central heating system including underfloor heating and column radiators, and completely rewired electrics with black nickel switches & sockets, and new light fittings throughout.

The quiet location benefits from the excellent nearby West Ham Park, highly ranked schools, amenities and transport links of both Forest Gate and Stratford, and delicious Tamping Grounds cafe just 50m away where you can pick up Dusty Knuckle bread and Rinkoffs pastries.

Planning approval has been received to convert the property into a c.1,500sq.ft 5 bed, 3 bath house.

We have loved turning this house into a home and are sad to leave it behind as we relocate to be closer to family"
