4 bed end terrace house for sale

Farmer Road, Leyton, London E10

This impeccably restored four-bedroom Victorian house is warm, modern and comfortable from top to bottom. A loft suite provides the ultimate private retreat, while charming original features imbue the home with character at every turn. The heart of the house is a contemporary dining kitchen, complete with bifold doors that seamlessly extend the living space into the generous southeast-facing garden.

You’ll find the house just off Leyton’s vibrant high street, between the tranquil greenery of Jack Cornwell Park and the historic Leyton Cricket Ground. Excellent schools lie practically on your doorstep, while the shops, cafés and transport links of Leyton and Leytonstone are all within easy reach.

Behind a low walled front patio, the period exterior is finished with variegated brickwork and a graceful bay window framed by foliage capitals. An arched, recessed entrance leads to a traditional part-glazed front door, painted to match the window frames and finished with gleaming chrome furniture and a numbered transom.

Inside – period style with A modern touch

Step through the front door into a long hallway where neutral walls, picture rails and high ceilings complement engineered wood flooring. While a column radiator and pendant lights fitted with vintage-style shades provide a welcoming glow, a crisp white staircase sweeps overhead, concealing a convenient WC beneath.

The double reception room has a classic, refined feel, featuring white walls, warm-toned floorboards, elegant picture rails, and coved ceilings adorned with ornate ceiling roses. Modern pendant fittings hang above a cosy living area set beside a canted bay window, complete with wooden shutters to the lower panes, and a period cast-iron fireplace. At the rear, an inviting dining space adjoins the kitchen for effortless entertaining.

Beyond, the stylish, spot-lit kitchen is laid with large white format tiles accented by dark grut, with white metro-tiled splashbacks to match the design scheme. Elegant and durable white granite composite worktops and shaker-style cabinetry fill the wall opposite a central island bar, which houses a gas hob. Other integrated appliances include an oven and microwave, along with a 1.5-bowl sink and a concealed fridge-freezer, dishwasher and washing machine. Additional storage and a wooden-topped workspace line one corner, and a vertical designer radiator warms the seating area adjacent to the bifold doors that open fully onto the garden.

On the first floor, the primary double bedroom at the front is carpeted in a sophisticated dark grey, its neutral walls forming a serene backdrop to two sash windows with wooden lower-pane shutters and roller blinds. Its generous proportions also allow for a freestanding wardrobe and other furniture. At the rear, a second double bedroom mirrors the same soft palette and enjoys leafy garden views.

In the family bathroom, chic dark grey walls set off white floor tiles, while dove grey metro tiles with white grout dress the bath surround. A Victorian-style heated towel rail stands beside a white vanity unit complete with elegant curved cabriole legs. A rainfall shower above the bath, screened by a frameless glass screen, a modern toilet, and a rear window complete the space.

Ascending to the top floor, you’ll find a spacious primary suite finished in the same calming décor as below. Built-in eaves cupboards provide discreet storage, while front-facing Velux windows with black-out blinds and a rear Juliet balcony flood the room with natural light. The en suite shower room has contemporary tiling and sanitaryware, along with its own Velux window. A second loft room, ideal as a home office, nursery or cosy snug, features a central light, a casement window overlooking the garden, and the same timeless décor.

Outside – spacious & sunny

Beyond the bifold doors, the southeast-facing garden is a rare low maintenance find in this part of London, a genuinely peaceful garden, screened by a brick wall that delivers real privacy and security, perfect for relaxing or entertaining undisturbed. Bathed in all-day sunshine, a paved patio flows to wooden steps that lead across a gravelled al fresco dining area and onto a lawn edged with flower borders. At the far end, a mature tree offers dappled shade beside a secondary patio with raised flower beds and a handy garden shed.
