An expertly extended, idyllically designed two bedroom semi detached family home. Handsomely brick fronted with an immaculate front yard, kerbside impressions are immediately impressive. Inside, your artfully extended kitchen/diner is no less striking skylit and totalling over 200 square feet.
Outside, you're just a few minutes' walk from Forest Gate station. Forest Gate will already get you directly to Liverpool Street in just thirteen minutes, and with the arrival of Crossrail and the Queen Elizabeth line platforms and ticket offices have already been upgraded you can expect journey times to improve still further. You'll also have direct access to the West End via Bond Street, Shoreditch and Canary Wharf.
If you lived here...
You'll be enjoying all the expert love and care that's been lavished on this impressive family home an unarguable highlight is your impeccably extended kitchen/diner. A twenty three foot long expanse of sociable space, skylit and with artfully deployed exposed brick and tower radiators. With a wealth of natural light and styled as it is, it's a wonderful example of how to bring the outside in.
Underfoot, engineered hardwood gives way to vintage designer tiling in the kitchen area, where you have a sleek array of glossy fitted cabinets, home to a full complement of integrated appliances. Head outside to your divinely landscaped rear garden where a pair of slate beds bookend an immaculate lawn surrounded by thriving beds. It's also home to a handy shed.
Back inside and your ground floor's completed by a dedicated, skylit home working space, your family bathroom decked out in immaculate marbled tiling from floor to ceiling and your front reception for more sociable space and another fine hosting option. Upstairs, both bedrooms are substantial doubles, and you also have a second bathroom with dedicated shower cubicle ñ a lifesaver on busy mornings.

A word from the owner...
"73 Wellington Road has a great energy and is filled with light all through the day - it's been a wonderful home to live and work in. Having a separate sitting room, study and big kitchen/dining room has been a godsend this year. We've had great fun working on our garden, and love our summer evening meals with the doors opening on to the roses. We love our weekend rambles on the peaceful Wanstead Flats followed by a roast at the Holly Tree pub, and taking a picnic up to the beautiful Wanstead Park. Since we moved in the local businesses in the Railway Arches and in Forest Gate have thrived - there is delicious local craft beer (Pretty Decent), incredible wine (Burgess and Hall), lovingly baked bread (Wild Goose) and a choice of delicious pizza (Giovanna's & Kotch!) The community has really centred around these places over the past year. We're sure the next owners will love it as much as we do - if we didn't have to relocate to Scotland for work, we'd be here for years!"
