4 bed end terrace house for sale

Leyspring Road, Bushwood, London E11

Welcome to this beautifully extended four/five-bedroom 1930s house, quietly positioned at the end of a terrace just a stone's throw from the open green spaces of Wanstead Flats and a short walk from Tube and Overground services.

Thoughtfully and sensitively refurbished throughout in 2021–22, this much-loved family home has undergone an extensive and complete programme of works. This included full rewiring and a new fuse box, new Ideal combi-boiler with smart-controlled central heating serving traditional column radiators with a brand-new central heating system.

The heat is retained by brand-new high-performance double glazing in every window, while the kitchen benefits from remote and Wi-Fi-controlled underfloor heating. Bespoke joinery features throughout – from the kitchen cabinetry to the skirting, doors and bannisters – with elegant Corston architectural ironmongery complementing the home's 1930s heritage.

At the heart of the house lies a light-drenched kitchen with Crittall-style doors opening onto a peaceful, newly landscaped garden. The two original reception rooms have been opened up to create one generous, flowing living space, whilst soft, neutral tones throughout provide the perfect canvas for family life.

There are two stylish bathrooms (the family bathroom new in 2021, the loft bathroom new in 2025), a ground-floor WC/utility, and considered finishes at every turn.

Step inside – crafted interiors, timeless victorian detail

Set on a leafy street, the property enjoys a prime end-of-terrace position with a generous front garden. Low-maintenance gravel and paving are framed by a low brick wall, painted white to match the exterior with its impressive bay and oriel windows, whilst a red brick path leads to the restored front door – complete with Banham locks and charming stained glass.

Step inside to a welcoming hallway with pale engineered wooden flooring that flows throughout the ground floor and walls finished in Paint & Paper Library's warming 'Soba'. A white-painted staircase, fitted with a cream carpet and with useful storage tucked beneath, rises to the upper floors.

Ahead, a WC/utility room with built-in storage combines everyday functionality with considered design: Stylish Bert & May tiling sits alongside paintwork in Farrow & Ball's 'Slipper Satin' and Atelier Ellis's 'Plum'. A toilet, basin, granite worktop and space for separate washing machine and tumble dryer complete the set-up.

To the right, the generous living room continues the 'Soba' palette from the hallway, creating a seamless, fresh and wonderfully light feel. A huge bay window, fitted with beautiful wooden shutters, floods the space with natural light and lends a real sense of scale.

Meanwhile, ceiling spotlights and a mounted TV point add modern convenience without compromising the room's simplicity. The open-plan layout flows effortlessly into a central dining area, illuminated by a stylish central light and full-height aluminium-framed windows with one-way screening blinds to the side.

A small step down leads into a showstopping kitchen. Walls are finished in Atelier Ellis's 'Triple Warm White' with mounted period lights providing a calm, luminous backdrop for the bespoke cabinetry: Howdens units and cupboards with Naked doors, fitted with elegant Corston architectural handles, a Mandarin Stone splashback, and white quartz worktops with grey veining.

Light pours in from bespoke powder-coated aluminium-framed windows and 180-degree double Crittall-style doors, whilst an enormous remote-operated 1500mm Velux rooflight, complete with rain sensor, adds further brightness from above. In summer, with both the rooflight and double doors thrown open, there's a wonderful sense of being entirely at one with the outdoors. Wi-Fi-controlled underfloor heating ensures year-round comfort, whilst Bose ceiling speakers set the mood for cooking or entertaining around the enormous central island bar.

There is an impressive suite of appliances: A Neff double oven, a Bora downdraft induction hob (externally vented), a Bosch integrated fridge and freezer, a Siemens wine fridge, a Bosch Wi-Fi-enabled dishwasher, and a Quooker tap providing instant filtered drinking water and boiling water on demand.

Upstairs, the first-floor landing is finished in Atelier Ellis's 'Triple Warm White', with soft cream carpet that flows seamlessly into all the bedrooms on the upper floors. To the front, a generous king-sized bedroom is decorated in Atelier Ellis's warm 'Plaster Pink', with bespoke plantation shutters dressing the broad bay window and built-in wardrobes providing ample storage. A swagged pendant and a mounted light above the bed add a touch of elegance.

At the rear, a double bedroom overlooks the garden, painted in Little Greene's 'Joanna' and featuring lower wall panels, laid vertically to echo the sleek column radiator. Period-style mounted reading lights flank the bed, whilst an oversized aluminium-framed picture window draws the eye to the peaceful outlook beyond.

The third room on this floor offers flexibility as a single, home office or nursery, finished in Little Greene's 'China Clay'. A charming oriel window with a wooden sill and plantation shutters brings character and lovely natural light.

In the family bathroom, the walls are painted in Little Greene's ‘China Clay’ and clad in Mandarin Stone Hoxton vertical tiles, with marble floor tiles adding a luxurious finish. Lusso Stone brushed gold fittings and taps feature throughout, including to a recessed rainfall shower with a matching brushed gold door, a double-ended bath positioned beneath a rear window dressed with wooden shutters, a wall-mounted basin, and a sleek Crosswater back-to-wall toilet. A brushed gold heated towel radiator and recessed spotlights complete this spa-like retreat.

A matching white-painted staircase with cream carpet rises to the loft, where new Velux windows, replacement double-glazing to the dormer and a glazed rooflight above the loft stairs fill the space with natural light. Walls are painted in Little Greene's 'Joanna', creating a calm, cohesive feel. Currently configured as a combined bedroom and nursery, this layout is ideal for families with children but would also work well as a double bedroom with a separate dressing area. Additional door configurations could easily be introduced to allow a fifth double bedroom to have its own private access from the landing. The space is divided by a stud wall only, providing flexibility to open it up into a generously sized, dual-aspect primary suite, should future owners wish.

The loft bathroom is finished in Little Greene's 'Portland Stone', with Mandarin Stone Hoxton wall tiles and marble beehive floor underfoot. Crosswater fittings include a shower, tap and toilet, maintaining the high specification found throughout the rest of the home.

Outdoors – architectural landscaping for modern living

The 45-foot rear garden enjoys a wonderful western aspect, catching the sun from midday through until sunset and bathing the lawn in light all afternoon. On a quiet road such as this, the garden truly comes to life in summer, offering a peaceful, private oasis filled with colour and fragrance, while a side gate provides convenient access to the front garden.

Step out through the Crittall-style doors onto a London Stone patio with a powder-coated French drain and contemporary Philips Hue exterior lighting which allows for a full spectrum of coloured lights to suit the mood or party. Matching stone walls frame steps rising to a newly laid lawn. At the rear, raised timber decking offers a further seating area, with a storage shed tucked neatly to one side.

The planting has been thoughtfully curated, with shrubs and flowers selected to blossom consecutively from early spring through to late summer, ensuring colour and interest for months on end. Mature and semi-mature specimens include a white-flowering lilac, a plum tree, dogwood, a Chinese windmill palm, a blue blossom, and Himalayan honeysuckle – lending a lush, almost tropical feel.

A note from the owners

‘The house is so special to us, it has provided so many memories for our growing family and has been such a beautiful place to live. We will truly miss the house and the area so much.

We invested so much into making the house both a functional space for a family but also took great care in choosing appliances and fittings that we felt would make the experience living here both joyous and unique. The summers are particularly special when the ground floor is flooded in sunlight and having the doors and rooflight open bring a wonderful feeling of sereness. We wanted to make the kitchen and island the heart of our home and have great memories of both entertaining friends and family meals together with our favourite music.

Wanstead Flats is really lovely for picnics in the summer or snowy walks in winter and we have been so lucky so have so much open space right on our doorstep. Being so close to nature in such a quiet part of London has been a magical experience, and we really hope that whoever lives here after us enjoys being in this beautiful home as much as we have.’
