IF YOU LIVED HERE...

Through your striking front door and to your left, your sizeable through lounge offers 330 square feet, elegantly recalling your home's original character, from the intricate tilework and mantel, to the ornate crown moulding and pink trim. Dual aspect, natural light is abundant, and plush, ecru hued carpeting runs underfoot. Across the hall, you also have a secondary reception area, where the vintage aesthetic continues, with original wood floorboards, a period fireplace, and gorgeous crown moulding.

To the rear, your bright and spacious kitchen and dining area offers views of the garden and features ample ivory cabinetry, granite style worktops, and modern stainless steel appliances. The floor and splashbacks echo the retro design, adding a cohesive feel to the entire space. Back in the hallway, which features playful white and blue pinstripe wallpaper, you'll find a convenient spare WC that completes the ground floor.

Head up the stairs, where you'll find four bedrooms of varying sizes. Your largest sleeper of the four, right across from the staircase, spans 220 square feet, features plentiful wardrobe space and faces your substantial frontage, with two large windows framing street views. Adjacent is another double showcasing original wood floorboards and intricate wallpaper. At the rear, two additional sleepers each offer views of the garden.

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 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."
