1 bedroom flat

Peacefully nestled in the ever-popular 'Village Area' of Forest Gate is this beautifully presented ground-floor & basement flat in a striking conversion that retains many of the original Victorian period features, including functioning fireplaces and stunning large ceiling roses.

The characterful, split-level property boasts a generous amount of living and outside space, with exclusive use of the large rear garden. Comprising of two spacious, high-ceilinged reception rooms, one with direct access to the rear garden, the other with a large bay featuring authentic period style hardwood vertical sliding sash windows, and solid hardwood plantation-style shutters, the reception space can be separated by the original double doors.

The flat boasts traditional suspended timber flooring throughout (except the kitchen, bathroom and basement) and down the split-level hallway, you'll find the modest, but functional kitchen and bath/shower room. At the rear of the property, the large double bedroom, with a feature fireplace opens out, via French doors, onto the rustic, natural stone patio/outside dining area with the mature, leafy green long (50ft) east-facing garden beyond. The rear bay has recently been refurbished by the current owners and now displays the traditional lead bay roof detailing and a rustic large oak French brandy barrel re-purposed and plumbed in to serve as a useful large water butt.

At the bottom of the garden with its long green lawn, lies a large insulated timber shed with in-built heating and lighting. It has been used variously as a jamming space, office and mini-gym by the current and previous owners, but is also perfect for general storage or could be used as a garden room/summer house with some modest alteration. 

The basement level to the flat provides extremely useful extra space which is currently used as a home office and separate utility room, boasting spotlights, multiple power sockets, electric radiators, the plumbed-in water softener for the flat and the washing machine. There is scope to double the amount of fully usable space in the basement level and lower the floor to allow for a wider range of uses.

This property has many other benefits which include; being within walking distance from Wanstead Park and Forest Gate (Elizabeth Line) train stations, a stone's throw away from the green open spaces of Wanstead Flats Common, along being within the catchment area for both Woodgrange Infant School and Godwin Junior School. You will also find many great cafes, bars, bakeries and restaurants in the railway arches only a short walk away.

Viewings will be taking place on Saturday 9th September 2023, please call to book your viewing appointment.
