Oliver Road, Leyton

This bright and modern two-bedroom, two-bathroom, second-floor apartment is located in a purpose-built block in a great spot near the buzz of Francis Road, but still with plenty of greenery to hand. Leyton tube is around 10 minutes away on foot, so you can easily nip to the City or the West End. Stratford and Walthamstow are just a short bus journey, too.

IF YOU LIVED HERE…

With over 698 square feet of immaculate internal space to enjoy, this is a home to love from the very beginning. Due to its immaculate decor, sweeping parquet floors and generous windows, the living/kitchen area has a bright yet warm feel. There’s plenty of room for working or socialising, and the sleek kitchen fittings will make hosting a dream - with the breakfast bar smartly dividing up the space.

The two bedrooms share the same neutral colour palette, but with soft carpeting underfoot. Both have custom storage, and one has a brilliantly convenient ensuite. Of course, there’s still another modern bathroom, so no one will ever have to queue in the morning.

Another convenience you’ll love is the private balcony, but there’s plenty of green space to enjoy nearby too. Walk 15 minutes south-west (or hop on the bus if you’re in a hurry) and you’ll in find yourself in the iconic Olympic Park, and just beyond that, Westfield Stratford. Nearby there’s also East Bank, a unique collaboration between world-leading universities, arts and culture institutions. Sadler’s Wells, BBC and V&A are all moving into the area there, so you’re in good company. Almost right on your doorstep, you’ll find Coronation Park with its picturesque band stand and landscaped maze. Grab a coffee from Italian deli Figo and settle in for some people watching.

Head ten minutes north west and you’ll come across the part-pedestrianised Francis Road, which is now recognised across the capital as a hub thanks to its eclectic mix of eateries and stores, ranging from upmarket deli Yardarm and independent book shop Phlox, to mouth-watering patisserie Morny and independent store Dreamhouse records.

A WORD FROM THE EXPERT...

"Leyton is a well-hidden gem that people haven’t yet fully explored. Francis Road is one of area’s most celebrated spots and it never disappoints. It’s buzzing with cafés, delis, shops and restaurants — the perfect afternoon or weekend destination. The Olympic Park is just around the corner, great for all the amazing concerts, sporting events and festivals that are held there all year round. Getting into central London couldn’t be any easier, with Leyton Midland overground station as well as the Central underground line both right on the doorstep. And did I mention that Jubilee Park, with its café, outdoor gym and pirate-themed playground, is perfect for a relaxing Sunday walk?"
