3 bed terraced house for sale

Chesterfield Road, Leyton E10

Smartly finished throughout and situated between Leyton, Walthamstow and Leytonstone, this three bed family find is entirely move-in ready yet with a wealth of development potential awaiting in the loft and basement. There's a private garden too.

Handsome, lovingly restored vintage timber floorboards run underfoot in your hallway, bedrooms and large through lounge. The through lounge can be divided into two rooms. To the rear there's a lengthy forty foot garden, large basement and plenty of opportunity to expand with a loft conversion, as your neighbours have done.

Close to all local amenities, including a Tesco and Leisure Centre, you're also well-located on the Walthamstow/Leyton borders here: The bars and restaurants of Walthamstow Village are just as handy as the rail links of Leyton Midland Road. Even the endless green space of Epping Forest is just a twenty minute walk.
Your new home


There's plenty of kerb appeal here, with the brick frontage featuring original mouldings and set nicely back behind a landscaped front garden.

Inside, original features include Victorian coving and vintage timber floorboards. These are complemented by the more modern additions of double-glazed windows, central heating and under-floor insulation. The floorboards which run underfoot in your hallway, flow seamlessly on into your open plan reception. This space can be transformed quickly into two reception rooms by closing the doors, which are further original features of this Victorian house.

Totalling an impressive 275 square foot and subtly segmented by a large opening, the downstairs reception sits dual aspect between the bay window to the front and a pair of patio doors to the rear. A pristine white colour scheme makes the most of all that lovely natural light. Effortlessly zonable and endlessly flexible, it's a superb social space.

Your kitchen sits to the rear, dual aspect once again with views over your secluded side return and more garden access. Smoky grey vinyl runs underfoot, and the long flank of cabinetry on one side includes a dishwasher. On the other side of the kitchen, by the windows overlooking the side return, thereís space for your kitchen dining area.

Near the garden door at the back of the kitchen, you will find the useful additions of a handy WC and also, accessed by sliding door, a separate washing machine area.

Then, step out into your garden for a lengthy stretch of lawn enclosed by a brick wall and timber fencing. You have heaps of space out here, and can draw inspiration from the landscaping of your neighbours to create your own beautiful garden.

Upstairs and your principal bedroom spans the entire frontage at 220 square feet, with more vintage floorboards, high ceilings and floods of natural light from the bay window. Simple clean lines and loads of space.

Bedrooms two and three are both solid doubles, equally bright and stylish, while the family bathroom is tiled and includes a shower over the tub.

Finally, in your basement you will find neatly-installed underfloor hemp/jute insulation plus plenty of space for storage. There is potential to develop this 110 square foot basement further. And with your spacious loft so far untouched you can potentially add two more bedrooms and an extra bathroom whenever suits (subject to the usual permissions).

A home that can truly grow with you and yours.

You're just five minutes on foot from Leyton Midland Road, where the Suffragette overground line runs from Gospel Oak to Barking Riverside ñ a straight run to the Thames. Alternatively ride two stops and five minutes to Blackhorse Road, and a quick swap to the Victoria line.

It's also well worth checking out under the arches, where you'll find fine craft beers at Gravity Well Taproom and award winning BBQ at Burnt Smokehouse.

You're well served for greenery, with Abbotts Park, Leyton Manor Park and Jack Cornwell Park all within easy reach. Great for joggers and strollers alike.

There's even the great green expanse of Epping Forest, and the blue waters of Hollow Ponds, just twenty minutes away. Great for afternoon picnics, or hiring row boats and exploring the waterways in the company of friendly ducks.

Walthamstow Village is around fifteen minutes away, for a superb range of sumptuous, independent gastropubs. From Sunday Roasts at The Queens Arms and cosy fires at The Castle, to weekend jazz at The Nag's Head, you're sure to find a new favourite.

On the Leyton side of things Francis Road is just as close, famous for its cafes and delicatessens, and also home to the Saturday kerb street market and regular evening pop up events courtesy of Francis Road Lates.

Other transport options include Walthamstow Central for the Victoria line and Leytonstone for the Central line, both around twenty minutes on foot, for fast underground connections to the City and West End.

Finally, local schools are excellent. There are over twenty five primary/secondaries all less than a mile away on foot, including several rated 'Outstanding' at their last Ofsted inspection.
