Morieux Road, Leyton

This bright and charming two-bedroom ex-Warner apartment is located in an envy-inducing spot within walking distance of Hackney Marshes, as well as some of the area’s best foodie destinations. Lea Bridge station is a short stroll away, too, and buses are plentiful, so you can reach Clapton, Leyton and Walthamstow with great ease.

As for the apartment itself, it’s had a lot of care put into the restoration, resulting in a pleasing balance of contemporary updates and traditional features. It also benefits from a private garden, sole-use front door, utility area, separate kitchen and reception room.

IF YOU LIVED HERE…

In case you didn’t already know, these iconic properties were developed by Walthamstow’s first mayor at the turn of the last century - and the design has utterly stood the test of time; they’re incredibly sough-after today.

Inside, you’ll be pleased to find that this home has been updated in a way that celebrates the design but adds modern convenience. Your front reception room has been beautifully finished, with engineered floorboards underfoot and immaculate neutral decor, all bathed in light from the generously-sized windows. Both bedrooms are solid doubles, with the smart Warner layout meaning that not an inch of space is wasted - and either bedroom can be used as a second reception or home office if preferred. The kitchen is sleek and modern with well designed units and integrated appliances - you’ll love having the additional utility area, too. This contemporary theme is continued in the pristine bathroom, which is well laid out with a walk-in shower. You’ll love making the most of your spacious garden, which has a raised deck at the rear - perfect for catching rays when the sun is shining. You’ve also got plenty more greenery to explore nearby; Jubilee Park is just a short stroll away, while Hackney Marshes is slightly further.

Head a few minutes north and you’ll reach Lea Bridge Road, which has become a hot spot for independents, such as eco-refill store-cum-coffee shop Cups & Jars, Italian deli with a Japanese influence Pinch la Deli and eclectic event space/bar/pizzeria Patchworks, which now houses Blondies brewery - a great choice for a new local. If you’re looking for a coffee and some peace and quiet, look no further than the nearby Lea Bridge Library, which won multiple design awards last year when a stunning extension housing a cafe was added to the Grade-II listed building.

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?"
