Your new home


Climb the stairs and you're greeted by a stylish split level layout and a wealth of light and character.

Your reception room sits to the front with bistro shutters on the twin windows and a stately forest green and white colour palette. Overhead you have recently restored vintage cornicing and a ceiling rose, while rich dark engineered hardwood floors run underfoot.

It's all perfect for lounging or entertaining with clear zoning potential for both dining and living areas. There's also some handy open shelving and cupboards either side of the chimney breast, with plenty more bespoke storage throughout.

Your kitchen sits next door, decked out in smooth cream units with timber effect counters and a smoky grey, vertical letterbox splashback. There's a wealth of cabinetry top and bottom, plus a suite of integrated appliances and large velux window overhead.

Your dual aspect, principal bedroom of 140 square feet sits to the rear, furthest from the street, with more bistro shutters on the windows, twin bespoke fitted wardrobes and a peaceful pink colour palette.

Your family bathroom lies between the two bedrooms, immaculate with vintage mosaics underfoot and a smoky, glossy jade tiled backdrop to the dedicated shower cubicle. Finally bedroom two is a small double, simple and pristine in white.

Your loft is already boarded, powered and accessible from the landing, for a wealth of additional storage. Alternatively, you have scope to develop the space, perhaps adding another bedroom and bathroom, making this a property that can grow with you (subject to the usual permissions).
Your new neighbourhood


You're just five minutes from Francis Road. Home to Albert & Francis, Yardarm wines, Dreamhouse Records, and other independent shops and cafes, this pedestrian-friendly strip has become one of Leyton's most beloved social hubs.

For transport, you're around ten minutes on foot from both Leytonstone tube and Leyton Midland Road overground. The Central line takes you to Liverpool Street in under fifteen minutes, and Stratford is just two stops away for Elizabeth line, DLR and National Rail.

Leyton Midland Road serves the Gospel Oak to Barking Riverside line, and is also surrounded by some enviable eating and drinking spots well worth the walk even if you're not getting on a train; Gravity Well Taproom, Burnt Smokehouse and Perky Blenders are all outstanding in their fields.

For your new local you can't do better than the Heathcote & Star, just five minutes around the corner, with fine food and drink, a beer garden and a regular programme of live events including live sport and stand up.

Green space is another one of Leyton's strengths. Abbotts Park and Sidmouth Park are both just moments away, while the wide open spaces of Leyton Jubilee Park and Hackney Marshes are both around fifteen minutes away on foot.
