Just a short walk from Wanstead Flats, the Overground at
Wanstead Park, and Crossrail at Forest Gate, this spacious and
contemporary two bedroom house lies in a quiet residential area
close to several excellent pubs and bars.
Outside, a bright London Stock frontage lies behind the front
patio, leading through a part glazed door into the main living
area. A doormat has been fitted into the wooden laminate flowing
past a central staircase into the dining area, while a large bay
window and white coved walls bring in lots of light. Shelving in
the alcoves beside a feature fireplace with a vintage surround and
Mexican tiling provides extra storage.
To the rear, a big window facing the garden and stylish linear
pendants illuminate the dining area. The kitchen lies just beyond,
warmed by underfloor heated patterned tiles complementing the
cheerful yellow walls.
Fitted in 2023, the kitchen has a good range of glossy white
cabinetry with wooden tops and Claybrook tiles in a basket weave
pattern. Youll find a deep ceramic sink below the side window, an
oven with a gas hob, an integrated Bosch fridge freezer, and space
for a dishwasher.
Theres also a Hotpoint washer dryer in the hall leading to the
garden and a spot lit bathroom, where heated Mandarin Stone tiles
and olive green walls offset a bath with an overhead shower and a
modern basin and toilet beneath the window.
Upstairs, youll discover two neutrally decorated and carpeted
doubles to the front and rear, with coved ceiling and fitted blinds
to the windows. Back downstairs, head outside into the sunny south
facing garden to find a paved side return and terrace leading to a
long lawn enclosed by fencing and neighbouring trees. A pretty
flower border runs along one side, joining a gravelled and wood
chipped working area with a shed to the rear.
