This charming Victorian terraced house offers a unique opportunity for potential buyers looking to invest in a property with character and room for personalization. Spread across multiple levels, it features three bedrooms and two bathrooms, providing an excellent foundation for transformation. The property is ideally situated near the vibrant Forest Gate Lanes, close to the beloved Winchelsea Arches and the expansive Wanstead Flats, making it a desirable location with accessible outdoor spaces. An outbuilding adds further versatility, perfect for conversion into a studio or workspace. Available without a chain, this house invites you to reimagine its layout to align with your vision.
Upon entry, the hallway sets the stage for the ground floor's flow, highlighted by decorative ceiling elements that could be enhanced over time. The front reception room boasts a wide bay window that floods the space with natural light and creates an inviting atmosphere suitable for a main living area. Behind it lies a second reception that is adaptable in design, ideal for dining or as an additional lounge space.
The kitchen/diner at the rear provides ample room for cooking and entertaining, benefiting from skylights and windows that maintain brightness throughout the day. There lies significant potential here to merge it with the rear reception or extend into the side return (subject to planning permissions) to achieve an appealing indoor-outdoor connection. The garden features established plants and paving, creating an outdoor sanctuary ripe for enhancement. At its end, you’ll find a generously sized detached outbuilding—a prime candidate for conversion into an artistic retreat or home office.
On the first floor are three bedrooms of varying sizes alongside a practical shower room. The top level hosts a loft room offering substantial potential; it could easily serve as an additional principal bedroom if desired (pending necessary consents).
Forest Gate Lanes is renowned for its eclectic charm and community spirit, featuring independent shops like Wild Goose Bakery and Wanstead Kitchen amidst boutique stores that capture local character. Families will appreciate nearby well-regarded schools such as Jenny Hammond Primary School. Maryland Station is conveniently located within walking distance, connecting residents swiftly to central London via the Elizabeth line.
This house represents not just a home but a canvas to create something uniquely yours within one of London's most appealing neighborhoods.
