IF YOU LIVED HERE…

Bay windows, an ornate gable and charming detailing give this home instant kerb appeal. A bold red front door, framed by an arched porch and patterned tiles, sets the tone and hints at the character waiting inside.
Step into a reception room that makes a statement in both style and proportion. An elegant bay with fitted shutters draws in natural light, while a beautifully detailed fireplace with decorative tiling creates an eye-catching focal point. Polished timber flooring runs underfoot, complemented by alcove shelving and cabinetry that enhance both personality and function. With ample room for seating and dining, the space feels effortlessly alluring, equally suited to entertaining guests or unwinding in comfort.
In the kitchen, contrasting cabinetry and soft pink walls are paired with herringbone flooring that adds depth and texture. A large window illuminates the room, while space for informal dining makes it a welcoming spot for everyday meals and casual gatherings.
There are two bedrooms on this level, one with a simple fireplace and built-in wardrobes, the other with a feature brick wall and fitted shutters. Each has its own personality and a calm atmosphere. Crisp and bright, the bathroom is styled in a white palette with monochrome flooring, tiled walls and a full-size bath, softened by natural light and wooden shelving.
Upstairs, a spacious double bedroom spans the top floor, where skylights and eaves storage complement calming green tones. An adjoining ensuite, wrapped in pink tiling with brass accents, completes the home with a touch of luxury.

A WORD FROM THE OWNER...

"Leyton has that rare mix of grit and warmth that makes everyday life feel a little richer. On Francis Road, Saturday mornings turn into catch-ups over coffee, while the High Road hums with the scent of everything from Peruvian fusion to fresh-baked bread. I love that you can be in Jubilee Park with the dog one minute, picnicking in Coronation Gardens the next, or heading to the Olympic Park for something completely different. It’s a place that gives you room to breathe without ever feeling sleepy.
The homes here have real soul; Victorian terraces with bay windows, Edwardian conversions full of character, and just enough quirks to make each one unique. Add the quick Central Line dash into town, schools you can count on, and a community that still says hello on the street, and it’s hard not to feel anchored here. Leyton isn’t trying to be perfect, it’s real, evolving, and exactly where I want to be."
