Everything’s finished to a high standard, with original timber floorboards running underfoot, high ceilings, double-glazed sash windows, Farrow & Ball paintwork, and plenty of original features throughout. At the rear, enjoy green views across your own south-facing garden and the allotments beyond, which give the flat a wonderfully open outlook without being overlooked.

E10’s café capital of Francis Road is right on your doorstep, with a wide choice of independent bars, cafes and delis and other attractions just footsteps away. You have a variety of greenery from Coronation Gardens to Epping Forest within walking distance, plus a choice of transport links.
Your new home


The private front door opens onto beautiful Victorian-style tiling, with the hallway panelled and painted in F&B Stone Blue. Up the stairs and straight ahead through glazed bi-fold doors is the large kitchen-diner – which could double as a kitchen-living room. Coming in at around 175 square feet, it is a wonderful entertaining space with lots of natural light. Your kitchen sits open to the rear, with integrated appliances, metro tile splashbacks and quartz worktops. Off the kitchen, the separate utility houses the boiler and washing machine while providing handy additional storage space, with stairs leading down to your private garden.

The front lounge also measures around 175 square feet and could equally serve as a spacious second double bedroom. High ceilings and a large box bay window create a sense of space, while F&B Railings below the picture rail and pristine white above give the room a cosy feel. Wooden floorboards and a striking original tiled fireplace with mantel complete the room.

Next door to the lounge is the current master bedroom, a substantial double with floor to ceiling fitted wardrobes, soft carpet underfoot and a tranquil mint green colour scheme. Overlooking the allotments, it receives wonderful afternoon sun.

The single bedroom next to the lounge is equally smart, with F&B Setting Plaster paintwork and original floorboards. It’s currently used as an office and guest room, but would also make an ideal nursey.

The tiled bathroom completes things in smoky grey floor tiling and graphite trim, including a heated towel rail and walk in rainfall shower.
Your new neighbourhood


Francis Road remains one of E10’s most desirable addresses, even as the broader area goes from strength to strength.

Independent coffee spots like Albert & Francis have now been joined by wine shops and delis like Tamping Grounds, Yardarm and Marmelo Kitchen. You can browse racks of vinyl at Dreamhouse Records and the bookshelves at Phlox Books. The kerb street market is also worth checking out every Saturday for great street food and fresh produce.

You’re ten minutes from the central line at Leyton tube which will get you direct to the City in twelve minutes or the West End in twenty two, or you can change to the Lizzie line at Stratford by walking across the platform. Fifteen minutes the other way, you have Leyton Midland Overground station, for direct trains to Barking Riverside and Gospel Oak via the Suffragette line. Explore under and around the arches at Leyton Midland for food and drink gems like Azra for incredible Afghani Food, Chunk Provisions for (arguably) the best ice cream you can get in London, as well as Burnt Smokehouse, Gravity Well Taproom and Perky Blenders.

When it comes to green space, Sidmouth Park is just three minutes round the corner, great for a morning jog, the expertly landscaped grounds of Coronation Gardens are just a little further. If you really want to stretch your legs, both Hackney Marshes and Epping Forest are around a half hour away on foot, or you can catch the overground to Gospel Oak to explore Hampstead Heath.
A note from the owner


“This flat has been the most wonderful first home and I have loved adding to its charm with the tiling and panelling in the hall. The flat is so lovely for entertaining with the big open-plan kitchen diner, and cosying up in the lounge in the winter months can’t be beaten. We have absolutely fallen in love with the area – with highlights including the monthly supper clubs at Loop, browsing the shelves for the latest independent reads at Phlox with a Tamping Grounds coffee in-hand and the ever-changing flavours at the incredible Chunk Provisions. The buzz of Francis Road on a Saturday morning during the market is hard to beat whilst the central line and overground mean it’s incredibly well-connected. Only going around the corner – would be difficult to ever leave Leyton and the wonderful community here!”
