Terraced house for sale in Montague Road, London E11

If you lived here...

You’d be happy to own this thoroughly modernised house, with its thoughtful layout, considered décor, and light and airy ambience. The combination of original and modern features, exemplified in the contrast between the enclosed porch and traditional hallway, and the huge open plan main living space on the first floor, gives the house the best of both worlds – a welcoming mix of enclosed and open spaces.

Unified by a stunning stripped wood floor, the ground floor living space is generous. The main open plan area divides easily into lounge, dining and kitchen areas with abundant space for each. The lounge area at the front of the house has excellent natural light from a large west-facing bay window with bespoke plantation shutters. The dining area beyond has garden views through large glazed sliding doors that open onto the deck and create a seamless transition to the outdoors. The kitchen opposite also has garden views though a window above the sink which is centrally placed in the u-shape of fitted cabinets that house discreet integrated appliances and are topped with a wood worktop.

The first floor has a more traditional feel with cosy carpeted floors on the stairs and landing and in the three bedrooms. The two front bedrooms (one of which is the main bedroom, a large double) have bay windows with plantation shutters, whilst the double bedroom at the rear has garden views framed by a large picture window. The family bathroom has a stylish combination of blue-painted and white metro-tiled walls, and is fitted with a bath (with a shower), washbasin and WC. An obscured glass window provides good natural light and ventilation.
Outside, the stylish low-maintenance landscaped garden has smart fencing and a large L-shaped deck that wraps around a lawn with beds and two impressive specimen trees.

A word from the owner...

"We have absolutely loved living here over the past six years. The location has been perfect for us with an abundance of nature on our doorstep but also close to great cafes and pubs and excellent transport links into central London. It really is the best of both worlds!

The area has a really strong sense of community with lots of independent shops that keep popping up on the high street. Our favourites include Back to Ours cafe for the best cardamon buns and great coffee and Theatre of wine and Joyau bar for delicious natural wines. The fields nearby are always buzzing with activity including a weekly Park Run every Saturday, and filled with dog walkers and families. We love the local pubs like the Leytonstone Tavern and the Holly Tree for amazing burgers and delicious Sunday roasts. We have also loved growing as a family here with plenty of nearby baby-friendly activities and fantastic local nurseries and schools.

When we first moved in, we made updates to the entire house including a complete replacement of the central heating system and electrics. This was later followed by a brand new bathroom, kitchen, a new roof and a low-maintenance back garden. We are sad to be moving on from the house and fantastic area but will be taking with us some wonderful memories as we look to relocate closer to family."
