A word from the owner...

"I renovated this flat as a real passion project. Living locally, I wanted to avoid the standard ‘grey box’ finish and craft a home to the exact standards i'd want for myself. It’s been completely renewed behind the scenes with all-new electrics, pipework and a new boiler. For finishes, I chose details I genuinely love: My favourite Farrow & Ball colours, Silestone worktops and beautiful kit-kat tiles. My absolute favourite thing is the light. Being east and west-facing, you get the morning sun with your coffee in the kitchen, and the sunset flooding the bedrooms in the evening.

The street has a lovely mix of families and genuinely welcoming neighbours. Forest Gate gets better every year, and you are spoilt for choice locally. Wild Goose Bakery is our go-to for bread, and Joyau is brilliant for natural wine. Gio’s does amazing pizza, while Fiore specialises in homemade pasta and an incredible set menu. To unwind, we regularly use E7 Movement for yoga and their sauna. A walk on Wanstead Flats is perfect in any weather, usually followed by a pint at The Holly Tree or Forest Tavern. Finally, being a five-minute walk from the Elizabeth Line changes everything; it’s easily London's best transport line. I hope the new owners will be very happy here."
