Summary - 40 Tower Hamlets Road E7 9BZ
3 bed 1 bath Terraced
Starter home moments from Forest Gate station with Elizabeth Line access.
Three bedrooms across two storeys, 694 sq ft total
A compact three-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace offering straightforward freehold ownership in Forest Gate, a short walk from Forest Gate station and the Elizabeth Line. The house totals about 694 sq ft across two storeys with a small rear garden — practical for first-time buyers seeking a starter home with growth potential.
The property retains period character externally (bay windows, gabled roof, original brick) but the interior needs updating. There is a ground-floor WC and utility area, a bright lounge with bay window, and a simple kitchen opening to the garden. Heating is by mains-gas boiler and radiators; glazing is double but install date is unknown, and the solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated.
Location is a genuine strength: excellent mobile signal, fast broadband, and direct access to the Elizabeth Line for quick links to Stratford and central London. Good and outstanding primary and secondary schools are within walking distance, and local amenities include shops, restaurants, parks and leisure options.
Be realistic about drawbacks. The house is small and in a deprived area with above-average local crime statistics, so buyers should factor security and wider neighbourhood considerations into their decision. The interior is dated and may require cosmetic or more substantial refurbishment to unlock value. Council tax details are not provided and should be checked before offer.
