Petty Son & Prestwich are delighted to present this exceptional five double bedroom Victorian residence, enviably positioned on Capel Road, Forest Gate’s most prestigious address, with uninterrupted views across the vast open green spaces of Wanstead Flats.
Perfectly balancing Victorian splendour with contemporary refinement, this magnificent home exudes timeless elegance. Located at the gateway to the highly sought-after Forest Gate Village, Capel Road is renowned for its grand period architecture and sweeping outlooks. Forest Gate and Manor Park stations, both served by the Elizabeth Line, are just 0.3 miles away, offering swift access to Liverpool Street and central London in under 15 minutes. The nearby Wanstead Park Overground station, alongside a wealth of independent amenities including the artisan Wild Goose Bakery and the award-winning Holly Tree pub, further enhances the exceptional lifestyle on offer.
The striking façade immediately captures the eye, with classic London stock brickwork, an ornate stained-glass front door, elegant double bay windows and beautifully proportioned sash windows. Internally, the property offers over 2,000 sq. ft of thoughtfully arranged accommodation.
Upon entering, a wide and welcoming hallway sets the tone, retaining much of the home’s original character and exposed timber floorboards. This sense of grandeur continues into the beautifully proportioned double reception room, where original floorboards, detailed cornicing and handsome Victorian fireplaces are complemented by soothing green walls up to the picture rails, with crisp white above to accentuate the impressive ceiling heights. The ground floor has been cleverly reconfigured to suit modern living, featuring a generous utility room and a practical downstairs cloakroom.
To the rear sits a striking contemporary kitchen, finished in sleek white, handleless high-gloss cabinetry with white worktops and gloss splashback tiles. Warm peach-toned walls and exposed wooden floorboards soften the space, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The kitchen units extend halfway into the room, subtly dividing the kitchen from the breakfast area, which enjoys charming garden views through the original bay window and French doors.
The first-floor hosts three beautifully appointed double bedrooms, each benefitting from bespoke fitted wardrobes and original feature fireplaces. The luxurious family bathroom is generously proportioned, featuring a freestanding bath, a spacious walk-in shower, emerald green tiling and elegant gold fittings. The loft extension is an architectural triumph, meticulously designed to maximise space and natural light.
A tiered landing illuminated by a skylight creates the feel of a distinct additional floor rather than a conventional loft conversion. This level offers two further double bedrooms, the principal boasting three skylights and a stunning en-suite shower room. The second bedroom is equally impressive, featuring a striking floor-to-ceiling Crittall-style window and an abundance of built-in storage.
Externally, the large rear garden is a peaceful, leafy retreat. Backing onto the graveyard and with the flats to the front, which is the southernmost green corridor of Epping Forest (London's largest forest!) the space enjoys a wonderfully tranquil atmosphere, filled with birdsong. A harmonious blend of patio, lawn, mature trees and shrubs provides the perfect setting for relaxation and entertaining, while a children’s play area and a practical garden shed complete this superb outdoor space.

Property information from this agent
About this agent
For well over a century Petty Son and Prestwich has had a long and successful history in Wanstead and the surrounding area. The firm was founded in Leytonstone in 1908 by C. Petty, a locally renowned builder, under the style of Petty & Son. The company was then run by his son Charles, a chartered surveyor. Petty and Son quickly grew in both size and reputation and was soon to become Petty Son & Prestwich when Harry Prestwich entered the partnership, offering services in surveying, estate agency and auctioneering. The Wanstead Office was opened in 1912. Our continued success stems from reputation and recommendation and through this, and good old fashioned hard work, it has allowed us to expand and open a branch in the heart of Buckhurst Hill. Mirroring the company’s ethos to work collectively, our Buckhurst Hill office provide the same tailor-made services to all our clients, both new and established. Situated at the top of Queens Road, the team offer the independent and reliable advice that has been our hallmark in Wanstead for so many decades past. Our current team, who between them boast a combined experience of more than 150 years, offer a wide-range of competitive services that include sales, lettings, property management, financial services, refurbishment and development as well as our established survey department. We are proud to maintain an expansive and thorough knowledge of the market and with the opening of our Buckhurst Hill branch we are able to offer our bespoke service from the exciting, emerging London areas of Forest Gate, Leytonstone and the ever-popular Wanstead, through to the heart of Epping Forest to such areas as stylish Loughton and the picturesque Theydon Bois. We firmly believe that with our expertise and passion combined with the old-fashioned values of reliability, trustworthiness and commitment, we can continue to deliver to our clients across east London and west Essex an unparalleled service into the next century!
