Colchester Road, Leyton, E10

A beautifully polished, three bedroom Victorian end terrace with side access, perfectly preserved with plenty of original features. There's also scope to expand overhead (STPP), a huge mature garden to the rear and Leyton Midland Road station just five minutes on foot.

Throughout there's an ingenious mix of original architecture and period features alongside high end details and designer flourishes. All three bedrooms are generously proportioned, as are your ground floor social spaces and that glorious south facing garden.

You're well placed in the heart of Leyton, with cafes, bars and restaurants surrounding nearby Leyton Midland Road station, as well as overground connections across the capital. Furthermore, Leytonstone tube is less than twenty minutes away, for the Central line.

YOUR NEW HOME

Stroll up your Bert & May tiled pathway, past that charming London brick frontage and you'll find an immaculate interior, finished with Farrow & Ball and Little Greene paintwork throughout.

Your 290 square foot through lounge with the high ceilings of the period and lovingly restored original floorboards underfoot. A blank slate hearth to the front and exposed, whitewashed brick chimney breast to the rear both add artful designer touches and speak to the original architecture.

Those vintage floorboards flow on into the hallway and past a handy spare WC before giving way to large format cream tilework in your kitchen. There's a bay windowed patio door to the rear here, letting natural light flow in while underfloor heating keeps things cosy.

Deep blue cabinets run down the flanks below chunky white worktops and a pristine letterbox splashback above the right hand set, also home to integrated appliances. Dual aspect once again, your dining area is especially bright.

Step outside here for your garden, gloriously mature yet low maintenance with established roses, peonies, seasonal daffodils, tulips, herbs, shrubs, grasses, and trees. A patio of Mint Fossil Indian Sandstone gives way to a tremendous length of lush lawn, stretching away to a gravelled seating area overseen by mature greenery.

Upstairs now, where your principal bedroom totals an airy 180 square feet, with more original floorboards, bespoke floor to ceiling fitted wardrobes and an artfully rendered hearth and mantel. There's more custom made fitted storage in your second double, more original floorboards and another wealth of natural light.

Your family bathroom is next along the hall, sleek and stylish with underfloor heating and a striking backdrop of white letterbox tiles rising from tub to ceiling.

Finally, bedroom three sits to the rear, another bright, stylish, vintage sleeper, with tremendous views of that amazing garden.

And don't forget your loft space, so far largely untouched, you have potential here to follow in the footsteps of your neighbours and add a whole new storey (subject to the usual permissions). A fine family home that can grow with you and yours.

YOUR NEW NEIGHBOURHOOD

You're particularly well placed for greenery here. Abbotts Park is right around the corner with tennis courts and playgrounds. The landscaped greenery of Jack Cornwell Park and Leyton Manor Park are both just a little further, whenever you want to mix up your running route.

If you really want to stretch your legs of a weekend, the great green expanse of Epping Forest and Leyton Flats are less than twenty minutes walk away. You can even explore the waterways of Hollow Ponds in a hired row boat.

Whenever you want to explore further afield, Leytonstone tube station is less than twenty minutes' walk, for direct fourteen minute connections to Liverpool Street and the City via the Central line. Tottenham Court Road, for the West End, is just nine minutes further.

Additionally, Leyton Midland Road overground is just five minutes on foot, for the Gospel Oak to Barking Riverside line. As well as direct connections to the River Thames, you're just two stops and five minutes away from Blackhorse Road, where you can swiftly swap to the Victoria line.

Leyton Midland Road is also where you'll find a growing choice of eating and drinking destinations. The arches themselves are home to Gravity Well Taproom and the critically acclaimed Burnt Smokehouse, for craft beer and barbecue aficionados respectively. Adjoining streets are home to choice spots like Perky Blenders, BambooMat and Ochi.

Francis Road, Leyton High Road and even Walthamstow Village are all also within easy walking distance anytime you're looking for new cafes, gastropubs and bars to explore. Or for something different check out the Alfred Hitchcock Hotel overlooking Hollow Ponds. A great place to watch the sun go down.
