Your new home


Everything’s nicely set back from the road behind a neat and substantial front yard. Step past your classic red brick frontage and head inside for a proper hallway with lots of incidental space and warm hardwood running underfoot. There’s a guest WC and storage unit before we head into the lounge on the right.

In here you have almost 350 square feet of space, with smoke grey walls and more hardwood floors. Dual aspect, everything’s naturally bright with light streaming in from twin high windows to the front and the open plan, skylit kitchen at the back. High ceilings make everything feel still more light and airy.

To the rear, your kitchen’s another vast boutique space, 270 square feet with twin oversized skylights and a rear wall of concertina patio doors. Large format, glossy cream tilework runs underfoot and there’s a generous chef’s island finished in a dramatic marbled style below an oversized extraction hood. Cabinets are dark and glossy, home to a full suite of appliances and sat below more dramatic marbled counters. A handy utility room completes things.

Step outside for your garden, zero maintenance and artfully arranged with a mix of paving, Trulawn and planters, secluded by high timber fencing. It leads to your private garage, huge at more than 700 square feet and opening directly onto a rear access road. A colossal space with huge potential.

Back into the main house and upstairs, where your first three bedrooms are all solid doubles, finished in tranquil pastels with more hardwood flooring. Your family bathroom is especially striking; glossily tiled from floor to ceiling with a full-sized tub and vanity suite.

Finally your top floor principal suite is huge and endlessly flexible. There’s a curtain dividing the skylit sleeping area from the rest of the 280 square foot space, making it a genuine retreat while the shower room features large format letterbox tilework and a walk in rainfall shower.

You also have solar panels on the roof for energy efficiency.
Your new neighbourhood


Outside and, as noted, you’re just five minutes on foot from Leyton Midland Road overground station and the Suffragette line, for direct connections to Barking Riverside and the Thames. You can also ride just two stops for Blackhorse Road and a swap to the Victoria line.

The railway arches are home to an ever-growing choice of wining and dining spots. Check out Gravity Well Taproom for craft beers and Burnt Smokehouse for award winning barbecue. There’s also the original Perky Blenders Café, just across the road.

For more cafes and coffee spots check out Francis Road, still Leyton’s premier social hub even as the area goes from strength to strength. Classics like Albert & Francis offer artisanal brews while Yardarm and Marmelo Kitchen offer expertly curated vintages and deli delicacies to take away.

Leytonstone tube is around fifteen minutes on foot or five by bike, and offers direct Central line connections to the City and West End. Just ten and twenty minutes direct, respectively.

Finally you’re exceptionally well served for greenery, the endless open space of Epping Forest is barely twenty minutes’ walk away, and home to Hollow Ponds, where you can hire row boats and explore the waterways. One of the most relaxing ways we know to spend a summer afternoon.
