If you lived here...

Set within a building of warm brick elevations and confident proportions, this second-floor home sits comfortably within its surroundings and has a quietly established feel from the outset.

Inside, a hallway provides access to all rooms, with a built-in storage cupboard and a separate utilities cupboard keeping everyday essentials neatly tucked away. The reception room is generously sized and thoughtfully arranged, allowing for a relaxed seating area alongside space for dining. A wide window draws in generous daylight and gives the room a bright, settled atmosphere that works equally well for unwinding or hosting friends.

Just off the reception room, the kitchen is arranged as a distinct space with a clean, contemporary feel. Cabinetry in soft, muted tones pairs comfortably with pale, subtly patterned work surfaces, creating a cohesive and considered look. Light-toned floor tiles laid in a neat, linear pattern add a crisp finish underfoot, while a window above the work area brings in natural daylight and keeps the room feeling open and connected.

The bedroom is generously sized, with a window offering a calm, leafy outlook and a run of built-in wardrobes along one wall providing streamlined, integrated storage. Subtly textured carpet underfoot adds comfort and warmth. The bathroom is neatly finished with white tiled walls and a bath with an overhead shower, with a window allowing light to filter in throughout the day.

Beyond the home itself, the surrounding neighbourhood offers a well-rounded mix of everyday convenience and local character. Leytonstone High Road is close by, with a strong selection of amenities alongside independent favourites such as Wild Goose Bakery, known for its sourdough and pastries. Nearby, the Railway Arches form a lively social hub, with Gravity Well Taproom serving craft beers, Burnt Smokehouse offering barbecue and street food, and a mix of independent traders adding variety. Francis Road brings a village-like feel, where Yardarm serves seasonal small plates and The Northcote Arms is a popular spot for relaxed drinks and neighbourhood gatherings. For fresh air, Hollow Pond and the open stretches of Wanstead Flats, part of Epping Forest, provide generous green space for walks and outdoor exercise.

A word from the owner....

"We have loved living at Hillboro Court for 4.5 years and are only leaving as our family has grown! The space was fully redesigned and refurbished just before we moved in, adding lots of handy storage solutions including a large built-in wardrobe and giving it loads of nice touches. This also created an open-plan kitchen/living space which has plenty of space for a sofa and large dining table. It is southeast facing so gets tonnes of lights with the City visible in the distance.

The area is fantastic, 10 minutes walk to Leyton Midland Road or just under 15 to Leytonstone for the central line and Leytonstone high street, which is full of cafes, pubs and bars. A short walk away is Gravity Well tap room as well as the new row of cafes and bars down Tilbury Road. Francis Road is also an easy walk away, as is Hollow Ponds and Wanstead Flats."
