Chroma Mansions, Penny Brookes Street, Stratford, E20

"The winter garden outdoor space is like another lounge and gives the outdoor/indoor living that is so rare in London. The retractable windows are also incredible."

We can see why. With its own power sockets, lighting, and in some cases - a tap, having a winter garden serves as an extension of the living area; connecting the outside, indoors, and giving more options to work(out), play, chill, and also dine. Without the need to say any more, Alexander Rose Estates presents, Chroma Mansions, E20.

Views overlook Mirabelle Gardens via French doors once back inside, and the well proportioned living area enjoys light from both the East and West, thanks to the winter garden, which also peeks over the raised podium gardens to the other side. A large, fully integrated L- shaped induction kitchen with wifi- enabled dishwasher(!) not only offers great counterspace, but also extra storage options, in the form of a pull out pantry and carousel cupboard. 

The first of three generous bedrooms, faces West, and benefits from en suite bathroom with mirrored cabinetry, with the remaining two offering some envious views to the East - overlooking the raised podium gardens and beyond, towards Wanstead Flats and Ilford, via the same French Doors also found in the living space. High ceilings further emphasize just how much light the property gets, and the flat also includes zoned underfloor heating, in its list of USPs, which runs throughout. 

Chroma Mansions benefits from having multiple green spaces within reach - including the 560 acres of lush greenery in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, while also having access to a wealth of local amenities, including Westfield Shopping Centre, Olympic sporting venues, the newly opened V&A East museum and Storehouse, plus bars, eateries, cafes, and world class transport links from Stratford and Stratford International Stations.

Refreshed paint and carpets are amongst the upgrades available, but you'll just have to see the rest for yourself.
