Follow the bare brick and patio here for your south-east-facing garden.

Out here lush lawn and beds – perfect for entertaining al fresco – are nestled within two courtyard walls (ideal wind breaks in the colder months). Head back inside, this time via the kitchen, and you've another carefully curated colour scheme. Pine green contrasts with timber worktops, glossy grey cabinets and a white mini metro tile backsplash. Your shower room's just as impressive in white letterboxes, a disco ball and heated towel rail. Lastly, bedroom two's Aegean blue statement wall, soft carpet and view over the garden (a third access point) make for a fine sleeper.

A WORD FROM THE OWNER...

"This has been the perfect first home for us. The garden has been a real bonus. Its the perfect spot for a morning coffee or to spend a lazy afternoon lounging in the sun. We love waking up to the a garden view every morning. We took a bit of a punt on Leyton, having lived in Hackney before but have been really pleasantly surprised. Francis Road has everything you need for a weekend morning and there are loads of great pubs and green spaces within walking distance. We'll really miss our little flat but know it'll make a great home for someone new!"
