If you lived here...

An inviting sense of period charm greets you, with honey-toned brickwork, ornate detailing and a beautifully framed bay window. A tiled front step and classic painted door complete the look, offering a glimpse of the welcoming interior within.

Inside, the hallway leads to a generous reception room where natural wood flooring and soft green walls create an easy-going atmosphere. Light floods in through the bay window, while the open layout between the sitting and dining areas makes the space ideal for both entertaining and quiet evenings in.

The kitchen, bathed in natural light, combines wooden worktops, pale cabinetry and white tiling for a timeless finish. It opens directly onto the garden and offers exciting scope to extend into the side return and deeper into the outdoor space, subject to planning consent.

The west-facing garden is a peaceful retreat, with a neat slate terrace and gravel pathway framed by flowering borders and mature greenery. It’s a serene setting for relaxing or dining outdoors on long summer evenings.

Upstairs, the landing feels bright and spacious, with natural wood flooring, built-in storage and access to a loft offering potential for conversion, subject to planning. The main bedroom is a beautifully calm space, filled with light and enhanced by fitted wardrobes and soft neutral tones, while the second bedroom offers a tranquil feel. Completing the floor is a striking bathroom in white and bold blue, with a large bath and overhead shower adding a touch of luxury to the home.

Perfectly positioned between green open spaces and lively hubs, the area offers the best of both worlds. Wanstead Flats, part of the vast Epping Forest, provides a wide stretch of open landscape ideal for weekend walks or moments of calm away from the city buzz. It’s also perfectly placed for a morning coffee from Tamping Grounds before heading out to explore. Leytonstone High Road blends a relaxed community feel with an ever-growing mix of independent shops, cafés and welcoming spots like the Leytonstone Tavern, ideal for a long lunch or evening catch-up. For dinner, Bocca Bocca brings a taste of Italy to the area with its wood-fired pizzas and easy-going charm. While a little further on, Francis Road forms the area’s creative heart, a pedestrian-friendly stretch lined with boutiques, artisan food stores and cherished locals like Yardarm, Marmelo and The Northcote Arms.

A word from the owner...

"I have loved living in this location and area and have had an extremely happy 5 years here. The street is peaceful and quiet but perfectly located to get to a number of amazing local amenities. The high street has a plethora of lovely cafes, restaurants and pubs with the Leytonstone Tavern, a personal favourite for food, just a couple of minutes away. We have recently got a brand new M&S as well as already having the incredible Continental Food Exchange for groceries. Forno has been a great addition for coffee and pastries. Furthermore the property is perfectly located for proximity to Hackney, Forest Gate, Maryland Station as well as the Central line, not to mention Epping Forest being right on the doorstep for long walks and days out. This area has a great community feel and i'll be sad to say goodbye to the street and neighbours."
