Sidney Road, Forest Gate

A flawless one-of-a-kind find, this sizeable one bedroom ground floor apartment sits just across the road from Wanstead Flats. But with sublime architectural flourishes throughout and a south-facing courtyard garden, you won't want to leave.

When you do, the most epic of front gardens is right outside. You can be at Jubilee Pond three minutes after stepping out your front door - stroll there armed with oats, rice or some defrosted peas and a gathering of feathery friends will soon stop to take a gander.

IF YOU LIVED HERE...

You'll be stepping through your very own private gated entrance, past a lush canopy of foliage and on into your 205 square foot lounge/diner. It's all beautifully illuminated thanks to twin skylights and a picture window, expertly framing leafy views over the Flats. Walnut-toned floorboards flow underfoot and as your eyeline traces that vaulted ceiling you'll catch sight of your separate study, another sublime, skylit space that's home to a wealth of storage.

It's all beautifully bespoke. Next door and the kitchen's decked out in a seamless suite of white cabinets, timber countertops and a view over your rear garden. Speaking of which, open the door here for your south-facing courtyard - it's neatly paved with a choice of seating spots and an al fresco dining area. Low maintenance, but easy to brighten with pots and fragrant climbing plants.

Back inside and next up is the bathroom. In here a vessel sink sits upon shelving, there's a cisternless WC, and a rainfall shower over the gleaming tiled tub with matching surround. Lastly, head to the front of the abode for your genuinely huge 200 square foot bedroom. With lovely leafy views from both aspects, pristine white walls and comfy carpet, this is a sleeper to fall in love with.
