A characterful two-bedroom cottage in Forest Gate, beautifully presented throughout and filled with original details. With two reception rooms, a spacious kitchen diner, a private south-facing garden and driveway, there’s plenty of flexibility here too, while Forest Gate and Woodgrange Park stations are both within easy reach.

Stow Residential Limited endeavour to maintain accurate depictions

of properties in Virtual Tours, Floor Plans and descriptions, however, these are intended only as a guide and purchasers must satisfy

themselves by personal inspection.

"I've always loved this property. Built in the 1850s, The Cottage has a charm you simply can't find in the surrounding Victorian terraces, a proper little house with its own front door, tucked back from the road, and sitting within the conservation area with its traditional green-painted exterior. It has been recently refreshed throughout, so it's ready to move straight into.

The location is the perfect complement. Wanstead Flats is minutes away for open green space, dog walkers and weekend football, while West Ham Park offers something more manicured. Forest Gate station is a short walk, and the Elizabeth line takes you into central London in a heartbeat: the City in around fifteen minutes, with direct trains through to the West End and Heathrow. The independent coffee shops around Woodgrange Road give the area a real neighbourhood feel, and Westfield Stratford and the Olympic Park are on the doorstep when you want more."

With trains running every ten minutes, the Overground can get you to Liverpool Street in 13 minutes. In the south, Plaistow is on the District and Hammersmith & City tube lines, and the Crossrail will get you to Tottenham Court Road in just 17 minutes.

Wine bars, gastro pubs, microbrews, traditional boozers… With so many drinking establishments in Forest Gate, taking ‘a trip to the local’ can be a tricky decision. The CiderHouse, The Holly Tree and Forest Gate Tavern are just a few of the places to choose between.

Forest Gate has an abundance of Victorian housing, ranging from terraces in the area dubbed ‘Forest Gate Village’ to semis and detached in the Woodgrange Estate conservation area. Whether you’re after a doer-upper or recently renovated period property, there should be something for your budget.
