Light-filled 2-bed first-floor flat with private entrance near Forest Gate station.
Bay-fronted reception with high ceilings and lots of natural light
Set on the first floor with its own private ground-floor entrance, this charming 2-bedroom period conversion combines bay-fronted character and practical living space. The reception room benefits from high ceilings and generous natural light, while the main bedroom includes an adjoining WC and shower room. A second bedroom plus a separate office room gives flexibility for a home workspace or guest accommodation.
At about 809 sq ft, the flat offers an average-sized layout with a separate fitted kitchen and a separate family bathroom with a white suite. The building’s Victorian features—bay window, high ceilings and solid brick walls—give the property period appeal and scope for sensitive updating. Forest Lane Park and Forest Gate station are within easy walking distance, and several highly rated state schools are nearby, making this a practical choice for commuting first-time buyers or young families.
There are important condition and location points to note. Internal descriptions reference dated fittings, areas needing cleaning, and potential damp or mould in places; a survey is recommended. The property is leasehold, has double glazing of unknown install date, solid brick walls with assumed no insulation, and central heating via a mains gas boiler and radiators. The wider area experiences high crime levels and significant deprivation, which buyers should weigh alongside the transport and school advantages.
This flat will suit a buyer seeking period character and a convenient location who is prepared to carry out cosmetic updating or targeted repairs. With careful refurbishment it offers good living space and strong local amenities close to central transport links.
