1 bed flat to rent

Capel Road, Forest Gate E7

Petty Son & Prestwich are delighted to offer for rent this one-bedroom, ground-floor apartment with private garden and stunning views, just half a mile from the Elizabeth line in Forest Gate.

Set on Capel Road in Forest Gate, one of East London’s most up-and-coming pockets, this characterful ground-floor flat enjoys lovely open views across Wanstead Flats, along with excellent connections into central London. Sitting within what locals like to call “Forest Gate Village”, the area strikes a great balance between green open space and attractive Victorian streets, all while keeping day-to-day convenience firmly on your side.

Manor Park station and the Elizabeth line are around half a mile away (an easy walk or even quicker cycle), while Wanstead Park Overground and its selection of independent cafés, shops and restaurants are the same distance in the opposite direction.

The flat is accessed via a shared front door and communal hallway, with the apartment positioned on the ground floor. Once inside, one of the first rooms you encounter is the spacious kitchen/diner – a sociable space fitted with classic shaker-style units and a glazed door opening directly onto the private garden, which floods the room with natural light. Next door, the recently installed bathroom features a shower over the bath and a window for proper ventilation. To the rear of the flat sits a well-sized double bedroom, complete with French doors that also lead out to the garden.

At the front, the bright reception room is finished with a large bay window fitted with plantation shutters, a central fireplace, and bespoke shelving and storage to either side.

Outside, the private rear garden is low-maintenance and laid with shingle, offering a calm, easy-to-enjoy outdoor space. The apartment is offered part-furnished.
