Sixth Avenue, Little Ilford

IF YOU LIVED HERE…
Everything unfolds across the ground floor, beginning with three double bedrooms arranged off the hallway. The largest sits at the front, with a bay window, shutters and built-in wardrobes providing plenty of storage, while the two further bedrooms continue the home’s playful approach to colour. The recently refurbished family bathroom is particularly characterful, combining deep green metro tiles with soft pink walls, monochrome flooring and a bath with shower above. There’s also a cellar, a brilliant addition that provides valuable extra storage without taking space away from the main living areas.
Continue along the hallway and the layout opens up into the extended kitchen and reception space at the rear. Pale cabinetry, timber worktops and white metro tiles define the kitchen, with space for a dining table alongside. The living area brings in warmer terracotta tones, wood-effect flooring and decorative cornicing, while wide folding doors open directly onto the garden. It’s a lovely transition from inside to out, with a paved terrace giving way to lawn, established planting and plenty of room to enjoy warmer days.

A WORD FROM THE OWNER...
"The flat is so nicely done, we love our gorgeous bathroom and the bifold doors that take you out to our large garden (for London!). We’ve got three bedrooms on a ground floor flat, it’s super spacious and has fit us all comfortably using the smallest bedroom as a home office. We’ve got a massive cellar that we currently use as storage and our upstairs neighbours are lovely - they recently redid their flat and have helped us when we needed home repairs too. We sent our child to a nursery just around the corner which we loved, and he’s just started primary school now. There’s an abundance of outstanding schools around us. We’re 8 minutes walk to the Elizabeth line which is super handy for commuters. The transport links around here are really second to none, with the Overground and also East Ham Station walking distance. There’s amazing parks nearby both Wanstead Flats, Wanstead Park and for those who have kids Little Ilford with a brand new playground. There’s great pubs, we love The Golden Fleece and it’s a walk to Forest Gate with its play cafes and more lovely places to eat. We’ve made a ton of friends and have built a great community. It’s been a great starter home and we will be so sad to leave."
