Buckland Road, London, E10

A bright and smartly appointed two bedroom, two bathroom apartment on the first floor of a sizeable Victorian conversion. There's also a flexible, skylit loft room. It's all sat just a short stroll from the bars and cafes of Francis Road.

Colour palettes are smart and tranquil throughout, with some eye catching statement flourishes, hardwood floors in the social areas and immaculate tilework in the kitchen and both bathrooms. Natural light is plentiful from front to back.

Leyton Midland Road overground and Leyton underground tube stations are both within reach and you have the social hubs of Francis Road and Leyton High Road both on your doorstep. There's plenty of nearby greenery too, from Coronation gardens to Abbotts Park.

YOUR NEW HOME

Climb the stairs for your skylit landing, crisp in pastel mint green and illuminated by a well placed skylight in the angled ceiling.

Starting at the front, you have your expansive, open plan kitchen and reception room, coming in at around 200 square feet, with large twin sash windows, dark hardwood engineered floors underfoot and a bank of pristine white cabinets.

 Dark timber trim, matching countertops, integrated appliances and an immaculate metro tile splashback complete the kitchen, while opposite a striking statement wall overlooks the dining area. There's also a mint green chimney breast flanked by open shelving.

Overhead that sizeable loft space is accessed via a fitted ladder. Bright, skylit and flexible this is a superb additional space and another box ticked.

Back downstairs, your first bedroom is a solid double of 100 square feet, with more tranquil mint green pastel paintwork elsewhere. Next door your family bathroom features simple large format white tiling from floor to ceiling.

Head towards the rear now, past some handy integrated storage in the hallway, and your principal bedroom sits to the rear, once again finished in tranquil mint green with a strikingly colourful statement wall over the bed. There's an en suite shower room just off here, with a sleek contemporary suite and walk in shower cubicle.

YOUR NEW NEIGHBOURHOOD

Step off your quiet turning and you can be on bustling Leyton High Road in just a couple of minutes, for a wide choice of cafes, bars and restaurants including the glorious Leyton Engineer, sat in the Grade II listed environs of the old Town Hall.

Francis Road is just as handy – explore here for Yardarm wines, Marmelo Kitchen, Albert & Francis and Dreamhouse Records.

Whenever you want to venture further afield, Leyton tube is just ten minutes on foot for the Central line and direct eleven minute runs to Liverpool Street and a speedy door to door City commute.  Heading to the West End? It's just another eleven minutes to Tottenham Court Road.

Alternatively, Leyton Midland Road overground is just as close for the Suffragette line and overground trains to Gospel Oak and Barking Riverside. Your direct route to the River Thames.

 Finally nature lovers can choose from the manicured, landscaped grounds of Coronation Gardens, just five minutes on foot, or you strike out into the wild blue and green spaces of Hackney Marshes, in around twenty minutes.

An especially bright and immaculate apartment. Two bedrooms, two bathrooms, plus that handy skylit loft room and large kitchen/diner all make this a splendid first time find, tucked away on a quiet residential turning that's nonetheless just off E10's principal thoroughfares.
