IF YOU LIVED HERE…

Start getting those invites out, because this is an apartment you’ll be keen to show off… You’ll love the considered decor throughout, while the second floor positioning means it’s all fantastically bright. Your spacious reception room has been gloriously colour drenched with a soft blush. There’s space for both lounging and dining, and having a separate kitchen will be a great convenience. This bright and cheery space will be a joy to use - the glossy yellow metro brick tiles and timber workshops are a highlight. The bathroom strikes a similar balance between traditional style and modern convenience - it’s all spotless with an over-tub shower and vanity top basin.

As for the bedroom, this is a serene space that makes the most of the soft hues. This contrasts beautifully with the bolder shade of forest green in the spacious hallway. Again, the colour drenched design adds to the sense of space while also providing character.

The communal garden will be brilliantly convenient, especially during warmer months, but you don’t have to travel far if you want to enjoy more nature though - the Olympic Park is a 20 minute stroll away, while Langthorne Park is mere meters away. These green spaces are perfect for relaxing or going for a leisurely jog, but if you’re feeling more active, you’ll be delighted to find out that the London 2012 Games legacy means the area is packed with top notch sports facilities such as the Lee Valley VeloPark and the London Aquatics Centre.

As for food and drink, you’re spoilt for choice… Nearby in Leytonstone highlights include award-winning Thai restaurant Singburi, hidden gem Panda dim sum and sensational taqueria Homies on Donkeys, which won BBC2’s Britain’s Top Takeaway. Head towards Grove Green Road, where you can take your pick between the equally excellent Filly Brook and Heathcote & Star. Slightly further away you’ll find the part-pedestrianised hub Francis Road, where you’ve got upmarket wine bar Yardarm, Korean food at Zaxx, vinyl treasure trove Dreamhouse Records and much more.

A WORD FROM THE OWNER...

"We have loved our time in our beautiful flat! The flat is so spacious, with brilliant storage and is in a lovely little gated community, which has been great to have our own parking. There is so much going on in Leyton it has been the perfect place for us to live as we moved to London and found our feet. Francis Road is a short walk which has lots of great cafes and spaces, the flat is also perfectly located close to both Leyton, Leytonstone, Stratford, and Hackney so we have never been short of places to explore."
