A bright and well-proportioned two bedroom flat, arranged across the first floor of a Victorian conversion and presented in excellent order throughout. With around 644 square feet of thoughtfully arranged living space, an open plan kitchen and reception, and useful loft storage, this is a home designed with everyday living in mind. You’re also wonderfully well placed here, within easy reach of Forest Gate and Wanstead Park stations, a short walk from the wide open greenery of Wanstead Flats, and close to the much-loved cafés, eateries and creative spaces of Winchelsea Arches.

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.

"We have lived in this flat for 13 years, and it has been the backdrop to so many fond memories we have created. Over more than a decade, we’ve seen how Forest Gate has transformed into a great community.

For us, the location offers the perfect "London balance". We are just a 2-minute stroll from the wild expanse of Wanstead Flats, where a long walk or a hike toward Epping Forest always feels like a total reset from city life. Yet, we remain incredibly connected; thanks to the Elizabeth and Suffragette Lines, we are less than half an hour from central London.

The neighbourhood is full of character and independently owned businesses. We love the ritual of a local coffee, a hearty Sunday roast, or a quick stop for fried chicken (my ultimate guilty pleasure!). Under the railway arches you will find true hidden gems, housing everything from craft wine bars, artisanal bakeries and coffee shops to vibrant community meet-ups.

This hasn't just been a property; it has been a well-loved home for a very long time. We’ve loved living here, and as we move on, we hope that the next owner(s) find as much joy and connection here as we have."

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.
