Guernsey Road, Leytonstone, E11

A bright and spacious two bedroom ground floor garden apartment, nicely set back from the road with a handsome red brick frontage, the high ceilings of the period. Extended to the rear, you also have that lengthy private garden. Francis Road and Leytonstone tube are both just moments away.

Decor is mostly pristine white paintwork and blonde hardwood flooring throughout. Both bedrooms are sizeable doubles and your kitchen's a warm, rustic affair and your garden is a mix of patio and lawn. You're also sat at the end of the terrace for extra peace and privacy.

Leytonstone tube is just ten minutes on foot for the speedy central line, while E10's cafe capital of Francis Road is just five minutes away. There're also overground links and a wealth of bars, gastropubs and greenery within easy reach.

YOUR NEW HOME

Step inside and you're immediately in the 150 square foot reception room, with rich blonde hardwood underfoot and a pristine white paintjob making the most of the natural light flowing in from the box bay window.

An immaculate blank canvas and a superb first impression.

Bedroom one is next door, a double of 110 square feet, softly carpeted with chrome fittings and a view over the side return. Across the hall there's some handy understairs storage, always a welcome bonus in London apartments.

Your bathroom's classically finished, with large format sandstone tilework running from floor to ceiling, split by a smart mosaic strip at shoulder height. A discreet timber suite completes things.

Your kitchen is another classic, with a suite of dark timber cabinets top and bottom, a rustic pastel splashback and integrated appliances including a stainless steel oven and hob with matching extractor.

Step out here for the rear garden. Your paved side returns blooms out into a fence to fence patio, giving way in turn to a lengthy stretch of lawn, running between the high timber fences. Plenty of space here and scope for your ideal outdoor oasis.

Finally, head back inside for bedroom two, an addition to the original architecture and a 120 square foot double with garden view, all softly carpeted and finished in white.

YOUR NEW NEIGHBOURHOOD

You're enviably close to Leytonstone station, just ten minutes on foot for the central line and direct thirteen minute runs to Liverpool Street, for a door to door City commute of well under half an hour.

If you're heading to the West End then Tottenham Court Road is just nine minutes further.

You also have Leyton Midland Road overground just half a mile away on foot, for the newly christened Weaver line running from Gospel Oak to Barking Riverside ñ a direct line to the River Thames.

Look under Leyton Midland Road's railway arches for Burnt Smokehouse and Gravity Well Taproom, fine eating and drinking spots. Perky Blenders coffee is just across the road.

There're plenty more cafes on Francis Road, barely five minutes away, as well as some lovely wine shops and delis, including Yardarm where you'll find an exceptional range of expertly curated vintages to drink in or take away.

Other classic drinking spots within easy reach include The Filly Brook where DJ and cafe culture meet, The Heathcote & Star for Leyton's biggest beer garden and The Leyton Engineer, sitting statuesque in the surroundings of the Grade II listed former town hall.

The ancient woodlands of Bushwood are around twenty minutes away, and lead quickly to the open greenery of Epping Forest and Wanstead Flats, any time you want to escape the city. You'll forget you're in London.
