A word from the owners...

"The refurbishment of Integer has been an absolute labour of love, and we hope that someone else can find as much enjoyment living here as we have. The first few years I spent living here with my sister, and we did our best to keep the 1960s charm while bringing it up to date, incorporating features like the parquet flooring and serving hatch, and preserving/resurrecting original wallpaper and the turquoise bathroom suite. We love how spacious the house is, how much light flows through the property, and how hidden it is in this mews-like stretch. The location has been wonderful, close to all Leytonstone has to offer, Francis Road in Leyton and only a walk away from Walthamstow Village, not to mention Hollow Ponds, which quickly became our dog walk location of choice. We're confident Integer Gardens will make its new owners very happy."
