Set within a smart period conversion, this two-bedroom first-floor apartment offers 626–628 sq ft of well-arranged living space and a private west-facing garden of around 62ft. The home combines original period touches — decorative coving, a feature fireplace and a ceiling rose — with practical updates such as double glazing and a modern bathroom with a walk-in shower. Forest Gate Station (Elizabeth Line) and Wanstead Flats are both within easy walking distance, making this a good pick for commuters and families who want quick city links and local green space.
The principal bedroom benefits from built-in wardrobes that maximise storage; the second bedroom is smaller and will suit a child, home office or guest room rather than a large double. The reception room stretches to roughly 18ft with dark polished floorboards, alcove shelving and plenty of natural light. The separate kitchen is compact but fitted, with space for essential appliances and open shelving for easy access.
Practical details are straightforward: mains gas boiler and radiators, double glazing fitted since 2002, and a share of freehold tenure. The building dates from the 1930s–1940s and sits on solid brick walls that are assumed to be uninsulated — something to consider if you prioritise thermal efficiency. Council tax is described as cheap and there is no flood risk for this postcode.
This property will suit first-time buyers or small families seeking period character, garden access and excellent transport links. It also offers scope for modest updating to improve insulation or personalise the kitchen and bedroom decor.
