Lindley Road, Leyton E10

A tremendously smart and characterful two bed family terrace, artfully finished with a fine blend of smart modern design and vintage Victorian features. You're well placed for green spaces, the cafes of Francis Road and the Central line at Leyton.

From colourful Farrow & Ball colour schemes to solid oak floors, original floorboards and immaculate tilework, this is an eclectic designer find. You have a private rear garden and 775 square feet of space to play with, as well as room for expansion (STPP).

You're on a peaceful, residential turning, surrounded by green space and with Leyton's cafe capital of Francis Road just a few minutes' walk away. Leyton central line tube station and Leyton Midland Overground, with its enticing arches, are also both within easy reach.
Your new home


The bay windowed front reception is your first stop and an immediate highlight. Light blonde engineered oak floors run underfoot and bespoke open shelving sits either side of the chimney breast, home to an ornate timber mantel, slate surround and an exposed brick hearth.

High ceilings make the most of the wealth of natural light, illuminating the eggshell blue Farrow & Ball paintwork.

There's more social space to the rear, where your open plan kitchen and diner totals over 200 square feet, home to another hearth with slate surround.

Walls are pristine white and more engineered oak runs underfoot, giving way to ceramic slate grey floor tiles in the kitchen, where sleek white cabinets, timber worktops and a downlit turquoise backsplash complete the aesthetic.

Your garden's also accessed from here, a neat blend of patio and thriving beds, with flourishing foliage and mature screening greenery. A real suntrap in the afternoons.

Upstairs, lovingly restored original timber floorboards flow underfoot, with your principal bedroom totalling around 170 square feet, bay windowed and bright, and home to a jet black ornamental hearth, set nicely against the white paintwork. Bedroom two is another double, artfully finished in a similar vintage style.

Your newly installed family bathroom's especially sumptuous, sharply finished in a clean blend of white vertical letterbox tiling and soft pink. There's a classic rainfall shower over the timeless clawfoot tub, and vintage geometrics underfoot.

Finally, your loft is insulated and boarded, and accessed via a pull down ladder from the landing. You could develop things up here even further, potentially following in the footsteps of your neighbours and adding your own whole new storey (STPP).
Your new neighbourhood


Pre-eminent among your many local attractions is Leyton's cafe culture hotspot of Francis Road, home to independent, artisanal establishments like Albert & Francis and Marmelo Kitchen.

Here's also where you'll find wine and deli delicacies at Yardarm, racks of vinyl at Dreamhouse Records and the warm welcome and regular events of the Northcote Arms.

Coronation Gardens, Sidmouth Park and Leyton Cricket Ground are all just minutes away any time you want to stretch your legs among greenery, while the vast wilderness of Hackney Marshes is just twenty minutes on foot if you really want to lose yourself.

And whenever you want to venture further afield you'll find Leyton tube station just half a mile away on foot for the Central line, and speedy direct links to Liverpool Street and Tottenham Court Road. Your door to door City commute could take as little as twenty minutes.

Meanwhile, for overground transport links, you have Leyton Midland Road station just as close, for runs from Gospel Oak to Barking Riverside on the newly christened Suffragette line.

Check under the arches here for some lovely little eating and drinking spots including Gravity Well Taproom and Burnt Smokehouse.

Finally you have some excellent schools within easy reach. Newport, Dawlish, Riverley and Willowbrook primaries are all less than twenty minutes on foot and were all rated 'Outstanding' at their last inspection.
