Listing Description
Ref:- 1349 Newham : Home to a couple who are flexible with timing.
This home is situated among other new houses in a well designed modern development. It's a bustling and diverse area of East London filled with restaurants, shops and cafés. 'The house is off the main road, on a shared drive (pictured) so we also have the benefit of an attractive and peaceful haven.'
This is a wonderful location for exploring all that London has to offer. A car is not really necessary here as public transport is good. But if people want to bring a car, a local permit can be booked and it is easy to find a space around here.
The house has an open-plan kitchen and living area with kitchen table and chairs. It looks out to a patio which gets sun in the mornings. The dining room has south facing patio doors making it lovely and light and airy. There are 4 bathrooms, each with a shower, toilet and sink.
Two patio areas with pots, table and chairs catching the sun at different times of the day. There is also a shared drive, with bench etc. “Our neighbours are lovely people, and friendly, but also do not disturb if you are having drinks/meal in the patio”.
Two patio areas with pots, table and chairs are just for this house. They get the sun at different times of the day. There is also a shared drive, with bench etc. “Our neighbours are lovely people, and friendly, but also do not disturb if you are having drinks/meal in the patio”.
The couple play an active role in Ascension Church, Custom House. This is an Anglican fellowship where around 45 people meet for worship on Sunday mornings.

Established in 2003, 'Christian House and Church Swap’ (CHACS) is a UK based house-swap holiday organisation.
There are registered members throughout the UK, Europe and further afield. House-swapping works well for everyone; single people, married couples, friends and families. Instead of paying a substantial amount of money for holiday accommodation, and then leaving your house empty, you can simply swap homes with other Christians!
It's a different and exciting way to holiday!
COST.... There is no charge for registration or membership. Only if/when a house-swap takes place do we ask you to pay an administration fee of £50. For second and subsequent swaps in the same year, the admin fee is £25.
Registration forms available on chacs website.
USING YOUR HOME....Your house, however humble or grand, will provide a great holiday base for someone else.Your locality, so familiar to you, has lots to offer to someone new to the area.
SECURITY...There is a rise in house burglary when occupants are away from home. By house swapping you have automatic Christian house sitters! When people register with us, we contact their church leader. This is for everyone’s peace of mind.
LOCAL COMMUNITY... Another great feature is that you will holiday in a local community. A local person, friend or neighbour, will have agreed to give you the key, check that you are okay and to deal with any queries. That person will also be able to give you up-to-date information about nearby amenities, local events, places to visit, best pubs, good restaurants and so on.
PETS AND PLANTS… House swappers are usually happy to water the garden and indoor plants, and feed the cat and goldfish! Mutual dog owners are generally happy for the dogs to be included in the swap.
IT’S YOUR CHOICE!...You get to choose from the descriptions of over 200 properties, mostly in the UK, but abroad too, all found in the online brochure. You pay the administration fee only when your house swap is confirmed. And you might want to swap once or several times a year, or only once every 2 or 3 years. There is never any pressure on you to make a specific choice. The choice is yours!
