Barclay Road, Leytonstone

A gloriously grand and naturally bright six bedroom, three bathroom family home, full of charm and character. Artfully laid out over three storeys, you're sat halfway between Leytonstone tube and Bushwood, for the best of both worlds.

You're on a peaceful, tree lined residential street here, with Leytonstone High Road at one end and Bushwood just five minutes' walk in the other direction. For day to day needs and natural escapes both right on your doorstep

IF YOU LIVED HERE...

You'll be stretching out in a palatially proportioned suite of spaces brimming with style and character, starting with some delightful stained glass in your front door. Inside, your dual aspect, twenty seven foot through lounge is an immediate highlight, with high ceilings, blonde hardwood floors, vintage hearth and mantel. All emphasised by a striking colour palette of pristine white with smoky grey bespoke open shelving and statement walls in pastel green and royal blue.

Next door you have the first of your three bathrooms, a neat shower room with corner cubicle, before you come to your open plan kitchen and diner. Once again naturally bright and dual aspect, facing flanks of white cabinetry home to integrated appliances and smooth dark worktops run down either side, with engineered hardwood flowing underfoot. Your dining area is finished in yellow and white with striking graphite trim, including a rear wall of doors and windows leading out to your garden. We'll get out there in a moment.

Upstairs your 180 square foot principal bedroom features wall to wall, floor to ceiling fitted storage and a striking white and crimson colour scheme. Two more similarly stylish doubles and a generous single, currently in use as a music room, round out the sleeping arrangements, while your family bathroom is a simple, boutique affair. Upstairs again, and bedroom five sits below a pair of bright oversized skylights, sleeper six overlooks the garden and your third bathroom is strikingly finished in graphite and white.

Outside, and it's just a five minute walk to Leytonstone tube for the Central line, direct fifteen minute runs to Liverpool Street and a door to door City commute of just twenty minutes. If you're heading to the West End, Tottenham Court Road is just nine minutes further. Alternatively, if you're keeping things local, there're plenty of superb wining and dining spots to discover, the recently refurbished Red Lion is just around the corner, The Filly Brook's mix of drinks and DJs is ten minutes away and the much loved Heathcote & Star awaits just a little further.

WHAT ELSE?

- You can be exploring the the ancient greenery of Bushwood just five minutes after stepping out your front door, venturing onward for the great open expanse of Wanstead Flats, once the favoured playground of Tudor royalty and still the wildest open space for miles around. Joggers and strollers alike will feel right at home.
- Your garden's worthy of plenty of exploration in its own right, with a broad brick patio ascending to a generous split level length of lush lawn, home to a diverse range of mature greenery. Barely overlooked at the end there's a zero maintenance stretch of Trulawn under a timber pergola. The perfect spot to start or end the day.
- Leyton Midland Road overground is less than ten minutes' walk. As well as Suffragette overground trains across London there's also a growing choice of cafes, bars and restaurants under and around the railway arches.

A WORD FROM THE OWNER...

"With 4 minutes walk to the wilds of Wanstead flats and 6 minutes to the tube this property gives the best of city and nature. Walk in one direction and you can hear skylarks, Jay's and woodpeckers and even spot the odd buzzard. Walk in the other direction and you can be in Oxford Street within 35 mins. We have always found Leytonstone to be unusually friendly and for this reason we are staying in the area as we move. The schools are great we send our kids to George Tomlinson and it's such a delightful school with a great community feel. So many lovely cafes and shops."
