Lovely One Bedroom, Ground Purpose Built Floor Flat For Sale In Forest Gate.
Located on the ground floor of a small block of flats, set back from the road by a path and grassed areas, the property’s private front door leads into a small lobby with space for storing your shoes and boots, then on into the main hallway which offers access to all rooms, plus a sizeable built-in storage cupboard.
To the left is the large double bedroom, easily accommodating for a comfy bed, wardrobe, dressing table and drawers. Benefitting from plenty of natural light, the fresh white walls and sand coloured carpet offer a perfect canvas for your own personal touches.
To the rear you’ll find the reception– a fantastic size with a large window and space for a sofa, armchair, entertainment unit and much more. Neutrally decorated, it’s ready to move right into as you plan how best to use this versatile room for your lifestyle.
Next is the kitchen, another bright and airy space with a selection of modern, white gloss base and wall units set against mottled grey worktops and grey slate-style wall tiles. There’s space for an oven and fridge-freezer, plus a small table for two, and the room is completed by a large storage cupboard next to the window and sink.
The bathroom consists of white WC, sink and bath with shower above, with multi-tonal beige tiles with mosaic border to two walls, and darker-toned tiles to the floor. Simple, smart and serviceable.
