Located on the ground floor of a small block of flats, set back from the road by a path and grassed areas, the property’s private front door leads into a small lobby with space for storing your shoes and boots, then on into the main hallway which offers access to all rooms, plus a sizeable built-in storage cupboard.

To the left is the large double bedroom, easily accommodating for a comfy bed, wardrobe, dressing table and drawers. Benefitting from plenty of natural light, the fresh white walls and sand coloured carpet offer a perfect canvas for your own personal touches.


To the rear you’ll find the reception– a fantastic size with a large window and space for a sofa, armchair, entertainment unit and much more. Neutrally decorated, it’s ready to move right into as you plan how best to use this versatile room for your lifestyle.

Next is the kitchen, another bright and airy space with a selection of modern, white gloss base and wall units set against mottled grey worktops and grey slate-style wall tiles. There’s space for an oven and fridge-freezer, plus a small table for two, and the room is completed by a large storage cupboard next to the window and sink.


The bathroom consists of white WC, sink and bath with shower above, with multi-tonal beige tiles with mosaic border to two walls, and darker-toned tiles to the floor. Simple, smart and serviceable.


Forest Gate is a well-loved area with superb transport links, hospitality businesses, shopping, and other facilities. Wanstead Park Overground station and Forest Gate Elizabeth Line station are only 10 minutes’ away and there are numerous bus services in the immediate vicinity. The unique area of the Winchelsea Road Railway Arches is only a few minutes on foot, with its fashionable bars and restaurants including The Wanstead Tap, Pretty Decent Beer, Wanstead Kitchen and Wild Goose Bakery. Leytonstone High Road is also nearby, with its extensive range of supermarkets, shops, bars, restaurants and other services. The Westfield and Stratford Shopping centres are also within easy reach for more retail therapy and you’ll also be close to a variety of green spaces, with Jubilee Pond and Wanstead Flats only a few minutes’ walk.

Live-in local estate agents in Leytonstone and E11 As a husband and wife team with over 50 years’ collective experience in property sales and lettings, we’ve been your local estate agents since the late nineties. In 2021, during the height of the Coronavirus pandemic and its many challenges, we decided to give our team a boost, a bright new future, something to look forward to... and it was also about time Trading Places got a fresh look too, one to reflect the wonderful and vibrant local community we love so much. Over the past two decades we’ve grown and evolved as people and as a business and watched the fantastic neighbourhood we live and work in do the same. So, while our core values and exceptional service standards will never change, we really hope you like our brand new look. We’re able to combine our passion for property and our deep affection for the area to help people find their next happy home. And with a fantastic mix of distinctive Edwardian and Victorian properties, charming cottages full of character, snug terraced houses and smart, modern flats, this beautiful London suburb really does have something for everyone – you just need the right support to help you find it! Whether you’re looking for a quiet and cosy home to really settle in, or a vibrant pad in the heart of the ‘hubub’, our local estate agents know every part of Leytonstone and the surrounding hidden gems of East London... and we promise that we’ll always offer you 100% honest advice. Family Run and Community-Centric There are lots of estate agents to choose from, so how do you decide which one to trust with your property sale, letting or your search for a new home. We both hail from several generations of east-enders, went to school in London E11, and Jen was born in Whipps Cross hospital – so we have deep roots in the local area. Our supporting team (who are family and friends, not just colleagues and staff) are also locally connected, giving us the unique ability to provide a level of customer service and local knowledge quite unlike any other. We feel genuinely privileged to live, work and play in Leytonstone, and our work has allowed us to explore many beautiful period houses with their stunning architecture and features, alongside more contemporary properties and developments that have sprung up over the years. Having rented and bought our own first properties here, we’ve grown along with the area, playing an active role in the community for two decades and getting to know the best places to eat, drink, shop, walk, learn, socialise, exercise and relax. We currently live near Hollow Ponds, part of Epping Forest, and highly recommend a stroll around the lake or an hour boating in the warmer weather! The real difference at Trading Places is that once our working day is done, we don’t head home to another community – because our home is where our heart is and we wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. Experienced, accredited and award winning While we focus very much on a friendly and people-first approach, we take our responsibilities as estate and letting agents very seriously. During our time here, we’ve helped thousands of satisfied clients move home, waving off those who leave for pastures new, while welcoming others into our wonderful community – we’ve even sold many homes several times over, seeing them change through the years. We’re also accredited and registered: The Guild’s member for E11 The Property Ombudsman Propertymark ARLA Propertymark NAEA Safeagent And have won multiple awards too: The Best Estate Agents Guide AllAgents The British Property Awards Three Best Rated Agent Agent Tracker (no longer operating) We think all good relationships start with a friendly chat, so why not get in touch and let us know what you’re looking for – we’re completely confident that our local estate agents can help.
