If you lived here...

This is a home that feels quietly confident from the moment you step inside, with a sense of care running throughout. The kitchen sets the tone beautifully, finished in soft neutral cabinetry paired with warm wood worktops that add depth and character. A window overlooking the garden brings in plenty of daylight, while the arrangement feels thoughtful and well balanced, lending itself comfortably to both everyday routines and more sociable moments.

Alongside, the dining area enjoys a lovely relationship with the outdoors, opening directly onto the garden through glazed doors. A skylight overhead adds another layer of natural illumination, while timber flooring grounds the room with warmth. It’s a setting that invites you to linger at the table, helped by the gentle connection between indoors and out.

Beyond the doors, the garden extends away from the house with a generous sweep of lawn, bordered by raised decking that works well for outdoor dining or relaxed seating.

Returning inside, the reception room offers a welcoming retreat, with soft tones creating an inviting atmosphere that flows naturally into the rest of the home. There’s a comfortable sense of depth here, making it a pleasing place to spend time at different points of the day. The bedroom continues this sense of balance, with a bay window fitted with shutters, pale finishes and warm flooring combining to create a refined, restful setting.

Wrapped in glossy white tiling, the ensuite shower room has a contemporary, well-considered feel, finished with an overhead rain shower. A separate WC echoes the same detailing, neatly finished and in keeping with the home’s character.

The surrounding neighbourhood has a lively, established feel, with Leytonstone High Road offering a strong mix of independent shops, cafés and everyday conveniences. Favourite local spots include The Wild Goose Bakery for coffee and pastries, Bocca Bocca for relaxed Italian dining, and The Red Lion, a long-standing pub with a welcoming atmosphere. Close by, the Railway Arches add another layer of character, home to Gravity Well Taproom with rotating craft beers, alongside a mix of independent traders and creative studios. For a change of pace, Leyton Flats offer wide greenery, with expansive views, winding paths and a sense of freedom well suited to longer walks outdoors.

A word from the expert..

“I have called Leytonstone home for five years and have grown to love its eclectic character. From gastro pubs like Leytonstone Tavern and The Red Lion to bistro cafés such as The Wild Goose Bakery and Back to Ours, there is always somewhere new to enjoy. Wanstead Flats offers a peaceful green escape from city life. The area is rich in history, with Grade II listed landmarks including St John’s Baptist Church from 1832 and Leytonstone House, once home to Sir Edward Buxton. St Andrew’s Church, built in the late 19th century as a memorial to William Cotton, is another striking landmark. On quieter days, Leytonstone Library is a welcoming spot, while Leytonstone Leisure Centre is ideal if you are feeling active. Nearby Wanstead Park has walking trails, cycle paths and lakes, perfect for unwinding. With plenty of bus routes and the Central line close by, the City is only minutes away”.
