Greengate Street, Plaistow

Tucked away on the first floor of a classic Victorian conversion, this well-kept two-bedroom apartment makes clever use of its 636 sq ft. Inside, the open-plan kitchen and reception room feels sociable without sacrificing a sense of calm, and original period features add character without trying too hard. There’s even loft storage – rare and very welcome in a property of this size.

Step outside and you’re a stone’s throw from the local buzz of Barking Road – shops, takeaways, and everyday essentials within arm’s reach – while Plaistow Park offers green space just across the way for a change of pace. Plaistow Station is a 12-minute stroll, linking you to the District and Hammersmith & City lines, and whisking you into the City or Canary Wharf in around half an hour.

Whether you’re buying your first home, hunting down a practical London base, or eyeing up a reliable rental, this place delivers the kind of balance that’s hard to fake – functional, well-located, and with just enough charm to feel like home.

The open-plan kitchen and reception room stretches the full width of the flat, that is well lit with a west-facing bay window that soaks the space in natural light all afternoon. It’s a bright, easy space to relax, host or just spread out.

The kitchen is tucked along the rear wall — understated and practical, with white cabinetry, warm wood worktops and integrated appliances that keep everything sleek and functional.

A WORD FROM THE OWNER...

"I love the large bright reception room and high ceilings – it is what sold me on the property originally. That and the large loft area for storage. I will miss the vibrant community on our doorsteps. We have the local park opposite and the pedestrianised Greenway is just a few minutes’ walk away. It is perfect for those commuting as Plaistow station is a short walk and gets you into the City in no time."
