Ramsay Road, Forest Gate

Positioned less than ten minutes from the vast green space of Wanstead Flats, this four-bedroom period home has been impeccably renovated by the current owners. As well as the extended kitchen/diner, it benefits from a masterfully converted loft complete with dressing room and ensuite. There’s also a downstairs WC as well as the stylish first floor bathroom. The garden is gorgeous, too.

As for beyond, you’ve got the thriving Winchelsea Road with all its lovely amenities a few blocks away, and the Elizabeth line runs through your nearest station, Maryland, which will transport you to the West End in less than 20 minutes.

IF YOU LIVE HERE…

Victorian heritage works in harmony with sleek innovation across three floors of immaculately planned living space.

The spacious, dual aspect reception room has been beautifully designed, with its sash bay windows, bespoke carpentry, column radiators, immaculate decor and rustic painted floors. Beyond the convenient WC/utility, the kitchen is glorious, with touches such as the butler basin, metro brick tiling and timber shelving contrasting wonderfully with the sleek units and double oven.

The bi-fold patio doors open onto a impeccably designed garden, where the decked patio leads onto a lawn with custom seating. The foliage is beautiful - and the shed will be particularly handy if you’re putting in gardening time.

On the first floor you’ll find three stylish bedrooms, with more of those thoughtful touches such as sash windows, and the contemporary but charming bathroom is a blush pink dream. The converted loft is a masterclass in design, with a fantastically planned colour scheme, timber panelling, plus a dressing room and an ensuite - a game changer if you’ve never had such luxuries before.

Because you’re nicely nestled between Leytonstone, Leyton and Forest Gate, you have plenty of choice when it comes to amenities. Winchelsea Road is a short hop on foot and has a winning selection of drinking and dining spots, including Pretty Decent Beer Company Tap Room, Joyau wine bar, The Rookwood Village and Wild Goose Bakery. Or head north towards Leytonstone where you’ve got the much lauded Singburi, as well as E11 institution Eel & Pie House.

You’ll never be stuck for essentials since there’s an abundance of convenience stores nearby, plus you’re only a short hop on the bus or tube for Westfield and the Olympic Park.

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 meet friends for a drink at Burgess & Hall Wines (Roz and Paul there really know their grapes!). 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."
