2 bed Flat For Sale £300,000
A bright and charming two bedroom apartment on the first floor of a Victorian mid terrace with vintage floorboards, leafy views and a skylit bathroom. Quite the blank canvas, there's even scope for a loft conversion, subject to permissions.
You're located within easy walking distance of both Wanstead Park and Forest Gate overground stations here. Also Leyton tube station is a ten minute bus ride, while Leytonstone is just fifteen minutes walk. Both will speed you to the City and West End via the Central line.
If you lived here…
You'll relish making this home your own with glorious fundamentals on which to lavish all your interior design ambitions. Your lounge/diner comes in at 110 square feet with a modernist dividing wall leading to the kitchen. This could potentially be knocked through for a 160 square foot open plan living space home to twin windows framing lovely leafy street views while filling the space with natural light and striking timber floorboards.
Next door bedroom one is a solid double with cream walls and a serene garden view, while the bathroom comes with a shower over the tub and that sublime skylight. To the rear you'll find your second double bedroom, styled in the same cream hues as its predecessor and with another lovely garden vista. Lastly, it's worth noting that a long lease means you won't have any renewal hassles and there are twenty local schools within a one mile radius rated 'Good' or better by Ofsted. Five of these have been awarded 'Outstanding' status.
Outside and you're sure to find a favourite wining and dining establishment on nearby Winchelsea Road. Nestled in those railway arches is an astounding array of options, from the award-winning Arch Rivals restaurant, to Pretty Decent Beer Co. To The Wanstead Tap, there's something to please every palate. The newly refurbished The Rookwood Village gourmet pub is just as handy and serves up show-stopping stone-baked pizzas. Patch Cafe's not to be missed, either; stop by to say hello to Mo and sample her Mediterranean menu, it's just around the corner inside Cann Hall Park.
What else?
- Forest Gate station's a seventeen minute walk or four minute cycle to get you straight to Liverpool Street in eleven minutes. Crossrail's imminent arrival will make the journey speedier still. Wanstead Park overground is just as close for the Gospel Oak to Barking line.
- Wanstead Flats, your incredible, endlessly explorable back garden is just a seven minute walk away at the end of the road. Your first port of call will be Jubilee Pond, its crystal waters nestled right by the entrance.
- Is some retail therapy in order? Jump on the 308 bus route on Dames Road to be sped to Stratford for the shopping colossus that is Westfield Stratford City.
Lounge/Dining Room (2.70m x 4.54m (8'10" x 14'10"))
Kitchen (1.51m x 3.30m (4'11" x 10'9"))
Bedroom (2.55m x 3.40m (8'4" x 11'1"))
Bathroom (1.70m x 1.65m (5'6" x 5'4"))
Bedroom (2.60m x 2.66m (8'6" x 8'8"))
"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. On top of this, Crossrail is arriving here soon, which means getting across London will be even faster and easier. It really was a no brainer.
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."
