Farmer Road, Leyton, London, E10

Within a short walk of numerous green spaces, the village scene on Francis Road, and just four minutes from Leyton Midland Road station, this Farmer Road flat is ideally located for getting out and about and socialising. It’s nestled on the end of a terrace in a quiet residential street filled with period homes and presents a handsome London stock brick exterior, punctuated by stylish anthracite-framed windows to echo the contemporary front door.

Inside, you’ll discover a unique open-plan layout that maximises natural light, creating a welcoming and cheerful atmosphere for daily life and entertaining. Double-glazing and privacy filters add to the quiet, private feel, while ample storage brings function to form. The Hive-controlled heating system also ensures a warm welcome home.

STEP INSIDE

An angled door opens into a bright and airy hallway, where a high ceiling combines with white walls and wood-effect flooring that flows throughout the flat for a pared-back, Scandi-inspired aesthetic.

An elegant black pendant bulb illuminates an area for hanging coats by the door, complementing the black curtain poles and swag bulbs in the dining area, backdropped by a soft grey wall. Two huge front windows flood the whole area in sunshine, encouraging you further into the flat.

Continue through the open-plan layout, passing a sitting room area with statement swag bulbs and a full-height industrial-style shelving unit, into the kitchen. Here, glossy white metro tiles with contrasting grout form a splashback for the wooden work surfaces and sleek white handleless cabinetry.

Kitchen appliances include an integrated Beko induction hob and oven with Ciarra extractor fan, and a freestanding Kenwood fridge-freezer and dishwasher. Head around the corner to discover an incredibly useful walk-in pantry with shelves and a handy cupboard to house the washer-dryer and linen.

As you enter the bathroom, the Bluetooth speakers switch on with the lights, perfect for an energetic morning routine or evening soaks in the L-shaped bath, which features a glass screen and an overhead rainfall shower. Monochromatic patterned floor tiles and attractive white wall tiles contrast with the bold blue paintwork, perfectly offsetting a modern loo and a wall-hung vanity with a countertop basin, a mirror, and an extendable magnifying mirror above.

Just off the kitchen, the master bedroom is an excellent size, while feature green paintwork adds a relaxed pop of colour to the tall, coved walls. We’re told it’s a lovely space to enjoy a lazy morning with the sun streaming in through the window.

Bedroom two lies by the entrance. Lit by another big window and an elegant black and copper pendant to match the master, this double could be used as a guest room, nursery, home office or snug.
