Salway House, Thornhill Road, Leyton, E10

Generously proportioned, naturally bright and smartly finished throughout, this one bedroom, first floor apartment is a superb first time choice. Sat on a quiet turning just off the High Road, you have transport, nature and nightlife all within easy reach.

Smart hardwood and impeccable tilework run underfoot, each space has its own characterful, Farrow & Ball colour palette and room sizes are generous, with your large double bedroom especially substantial. You also have secure gated parking and communal gardens.

Step outside your gates and you're just moments from Leyton High Road, for cafes, supermarkets and all your day to day needs. Leyton tube is eight minutes on foot for the Central line, and you're surrounded by a wide range of open greenery.

YOUR NEW HOME

First thing to note is all the extra storage inside and out, with a large dedicated unit in the grounds as well as extra fitted storage in the burnt ochre hallway and soft white reception. Always a welcome addition.

Your bedroom's first on the left as you enter. A double of 120 square feet, the length, height and light make it feel larger. New LVT flooring runs underfoot and there's a soft sand colour scheme to go with the blonde flooring. The window frames leafy treetop views.

Next along the hallway your bathroom's a sleek boutique affair in sky blue and white tilework. Vintage geometrics run underfoot, there's a classic suite, and a shower over the tub.

Your reception room echoes the sleeping arrangements and feels even more substantial than its 160 square feet, with broad blonde hardwood floors and a soft white paintjob. Here's also where you'll find the secure entryphone and discreet fitted storage.

Your kitchen sits directly off the reception, immaculate and stylish in smoky grey and white. Smooth grey tilework runs underfoot, with a complementary cloudy splashback and countertops. All surrounding a seamless suite of glossy white cabinetry.

Finally, in the grounds you'll find plenty of room to relax in your own company or get to know the neighbours, with your dedicated parking space and secure storage unit around the back.

YOUR NEW NEIGHBOURHOOD

Your grounds are sat on a peaceful communal turning, but the bustle of Leyton High Road is still less than five minutes away. Here you'll find a range of bars and restaurants, including the Coach & Horses and The Leyton Engineer. The latter sits in the splendid surroundings of the original Grade II listed town hall.

Leyton tube station is less than ten minutes away, for the Central line and direct eleven minute runs to Liverpool Street. An enviable door to door City commute. Alternatively Tottenham Court Road, for the West End, is just eleven minutes further.

You also have Leyton Midland Road overground just over ten minutes away, for the Gospel Oak to Barking Riverside line. It's also worth checking under the arches here for Burnt Smokehouse and Gravity Well Taproom. Great for BBQ and craft beers, respectively.

Nearby Francis Road is, of course, famous for artisanal cafes and coffee spots.

When it comes to nature you're spoilt for choice. The landscaped greenery of Coronation Gardens is right around the corner, with Leyton Jubilee Park and Sidmouth Park also within easy reach. If you really want to lose yourself, you can be in the heart of Hackney Marshes in less than twenty minutes.

Finally, don't forget you have the gold dust addition of private parking, and drivers can be on the North Circular in about twenty minutes.
