3 Bed Maisonette, Brooking Road, E7

Good-sized three-bedroom maisonette with a garden, handily located three minutes' walk from both Forest Gate Elizabeth Line and Wanstead Park overground stations. Two of the bedrooms are doubles, the third is a single or suitable for a home office. 

The 1970s maisonette is in a block of 16; it's in good repair and cheap to heat, with double glazing, a modern gas boiler and Hive heating controls. 

It has a good-sized kitchen with an electric hob and oven, a washing machine and fridge/freezer fitted. There's plenty of cupboard space, a pantry and space for a table. 

To the rear is a spacious living room/dining room with plenty of light from the rear windows and door leading to the back garden, and room for a dining table. The garden is low-maintenance astroturf and paving with planting beds and a small shed. 

There's a downstairs loo as well as an upstairs bathroom, with a bath and shower over. 

Upstairs the two doubles face front and rear. All come with wardrobes: the largest has a walk-in wardrobe and the other two house two large wardrobes, which are incredibly heavy to move, and would need to be dismantled, so I'd appreciate keeping those in situ. I can leave two double bed bases, and potentially mattresses, too. 

The maisonette stays cool in summer and warm in winter, thankfully. There's room for bikes inside, too.

Forest Gate is roughly a mile from Stratford, which has great transport connections, a ton of shopping at Westfield, and a town centre that's currently being refurbished. There's also a low traffic neighbourhood and protected cycle lane (CS2) making it safe to cycle all the way to the City and even Kings Cross. The neighbours are lovely and quiet, there's a real community here and people look out for one another. There's a market on Saturdays, loads of local shops, bars and cafes on the high street and lots of quirky businesses under the various arches of the Overground line, from cafes to pubs and a wine bar, to reformer Pilates. There is a small community garden to the front of the building. 


Available from 1 December on a 12 month contract. Can discuss shorter.
