A word from the owner...
"We have thoroughly enjoyed our time at the property, primarily due to its superb location. Being just a short walk from the local high street and Leytonstone station has made our. Daily commutes incredibly convenient.
Located just a stop from Wanstead High Street, we are close to a selection of excellent pubs, restaurants, and the area's monthly farmers' market. Additionally, Walthamstow Village is within easy walking distance. Locally, we often visit, The Kitchen, The Red Lion, The Birds, The Bull and the Leytonstone Tavern - which boasts some of the best burgers in London. For cocktail enthusiasts, an evening at Rear Window is essential, where Ruth, the
landlady, always provides a warm welcome. Also, be sure not to miss the tacos at Hommies on Donkey's.
As dog owners, we particularly value the proximity to Hollow Ponds. We've spent many enjoyable summer evenings and weekends strolling around the pond and exploring the expansive open spaces with our furry friend. Despite its vibrant local atmosphere, the property's location-set back from the main road-allows us to enjoy the tranquility of Waltham Forest. For those who enjoy cycling, there are excellent routes through Walthamstow that lead into Hackney and Epping Forest.
In summary, Leytonstone offers the best of both worlds: A vibrant urban lifestyle with easy access to the city, coupled with the charm of the Essex countryside."
