Lyndhurst Drive, Leyton

A large Victorian four bedroom terrace of over 1500 square feet, generously proportioned and with huge scope for development and further extension both into the loft and basement (STPP). Your location is strong, with green spaces and transport options within easy reach.

Interior design will need some attention but your fundamentals couldn't be stronger here, with all that square footage, plus basement, garden and loft potential. The entire property is also full of original features, just waiting to be restored to their former glory.

The green space of Abbotts Park is right on your doorstep, perfect for morning runs, while Leyton Midland Road overground is just a few minutes further for the Gospel Oak to Barking Riverside line. Finally, famous Francis Road is just ten minutes from your front door, for superb cafes and coffee spots.

YOUR NEW HOME

That substantial through lounge will be an early highlight. Over twenty four feet in length and more than 300 square feet, along with the high ceilings of the period it's a generous, dual aspect space.

Rich, dark original timber floorboards flow underfoot, artfully distressed they could also be sanded and stained to the fine sheen of your choice. A pair of striking ebony vintage hearth and mantelpieces make for fine, pristine centrepieces.

Overhead, ornate original cornicing and ceiling mouldings serve as further reminders of the property's architectural pedigree. Again, much can be made of these depending on your dream vision. It's a splendid not-quite blank canvas.

Moving to the rear, your kitchen's another substantial space, over 220 square feet and dual aspect. A wealth of space and light to do with as you please. There's also a handy spare WC and utility room.

Stepping out to your garden, you have a mix of patio and flourishing beds, all flanked by timber fencing. Once again, a bit of attention will easily let you make the most of all this outside space, with a scattering of pots or planters in particular working wonders.

Upstairs, and the principal bedroom to the front has its original proportions intact, 270 square feet to stretch out in, all bathed in natural light by the bay window and second sash. There are more of those lovely vintage floorboards up here, plus a ceiling fan (which are coming back into style, by the way...)

Next door, bedroom two is another substantial double of 150 square feet, with a third double to the rear and a sizeable single in between (perhaps your ideal home office?) .

The original family bathroom completes the storey, tiled in a mix of jet black and cream. In here, as ever, your options are endless.

With so much space and and style already in place, plus the option of adding plenty more (STPP), this is a dream home for anyone looking to create their dream home.

YOUR NEW NEIGHBOURHOOD

Leyton Midland Road station is on your doorstep, just five minutes away. From here the Gospel Oak to Barking Riverside line will get you straight to the River Thames, but you can also ride two stops to catch the superfast Victoria line at Blackhorse Road.

Alternatively, stroll for fifteen minutes and you come to Leytonstone tube, for speedy and direct Central line connections to the City and West End.

Francis Road, with it's much loved collection of independent cafes and bars, is around ten minutes walk away. It's also worth checking out the arches around Leyton Midland Road, for Gravity Well Taproom and Burnt Smokehouse BBQ. Both leaders in their fields.

Of course Abbotts Park is on your doorstep, but if you really want to lose yourself in nature then Epping Forest and Hollow Ponds are just a fifteen minute stroll.

Finally, local schools are excellent. With seven 'Outstanding' rated primaries all less than a mile away.
