St. Mary's Road, Leyton

A flawlessly appointed, artfully extended, four bedroom, two bathroom family home, arranged over three storeys with a skylit kitchen diner serving as a superb centrepiece. Designer finishes are everywhere, and you're less than half a mile on foot from Leyton tube.

As well as Leyton tube on your doorstep, you have a choice of leafy parks just moments away, and the lively social hubs of Francis Road and Leyton High Road within easy reach.

Designer highlights will be everywhere, with your semi open plan ground floor instantly lovable. Blonde herringbone hardwood flows underfoot in your 160 square foot front lounge, with the high ceilings of the period and that large bay window dressed in bistro shutters. A classic wood burner sits in the hearth. Bifolding doors connect it to your second reception, similarly styled and leading in turn to your vast, 365 square foot kitchen/diner.

A breathtaking space, oversized floor tiles run under skylights and exposed beams. A wealth of forest green kitchen cabinets run down one side, home to integrated appliances including a stainless steel chef's oven, while across the room there's a bespoke seating area below the vaulted skylights. A large breakfast bar and kitchen island take centre stage in between, while oversized patio doors and a picture window frame views over your garden. Out here a patio gives way to lush lawn and an elevated timber deck, where you can take in the extensions' striking red trim.

Upstairs your first two bedrooms are both generous doubles. Brimming with style, character and natural light. Your family bathroom to the rear features more mint green cabinetry, with striking terrazzo tiling to walls and floors framing a freestanding tub and walk in rainfall shower with onyx trim. Climb the skylit stairs past a wall of whitewashed exposed brick, and your rearmost bedroom is yet another double, with more exposed ceiling beams. There's a master suite to the front, finished in smashed mosaic tilework.

Outside and, as noted, you're less than half a mile on foot from Leyton tube station for the central line, and speedy, direct connections to the City and West End. The open space of Sidmouth Park and the landscaped greenery of Coronation Gardens are both just moments away, great for afternoon picnics, morning runs and evening strolls. Finally, Francis Road is just three minutes away at the end of your street, famed for its fine range of cafes and coffee spots.
