St. Georges Road, Leyton

This gorgeous four-bedroom Victorian terraced home in Leyton Village has been fully extended and refurbished, offering 1,575 sq ft of elegant, versatile living space. With an open-plan kitchen/diner enjoying the light that pours through the double aspect glazed doors, through reception, two contemporary bathrooms and an entire suite in the loft. Outside, Francis Road’s cafés, wine bars, and independent shops are just a short stroll away, making spontaneous brunches or evening drinks effortless. Leyton Underground is a 7-minute walk, giving you fast and direct access to the Central Line and the wider city. A rare combination of period flourishes, thoughtful design, and everyday practicality makes this home an exceptional opportunity in one of East London’s most desirable pockets.

IF YOU LIVED HERE...

From the moment you walk in, the design choices here do all the talking. Recently refurbished with care, everything feels fresh, thoughtful, and ready to move straight into. The main living space sets the tone with light pouring in through the bay window dressed with pristine plantation shutters, bouncing off blonde chevron flooring that flows throughout the first floor. Two original fireplaces with tiled surrounds add character, while designer lighting hangs from a ceiling rose and caramel wall panelling gives the room a cosy feel. It’s the sort of space you’ll actually want to spend time in, not just pass through. An open doorway (or the hallway if you prefer) leads you into the extended kitchen/diner. Black cabinetry and white worktops keep things sleek and simple, balanced by floor-to-ceiling wood-fronted storage on the opposite wall and a marble-wrapped island with integrated breakfast bar sitting between them both. Glazed doors open on two sides, drawing the garden into the room and making mealtimes feel more relaxed.

Outside, the garden is designed with the same attention to detail – paved for easy upkeep, framed by planting, and finished with built-in seating at the back. Calm, private, and perfectly usable.

Upstairs, three bedrooms sit neatly on the first floor. The largest double at the front comes with its own bay window mirroring the layout below, a cast-iron fireplace with stripes of spring-green tiling, and custom wardrobes. The family bathroom feels contemporary without trying too hard: terrazzo flooring, vertical Prussian blue tiles, and brushed brass fittings.

Then there’s the second floor – more boutique suite than loft conversion. A terracotta-panelled feature wall, Velux windows, a walk-through wardrobe, and a bathroom that pulls no punches. Think freestanding bath with dual-aspect views, olive-green tiled shower with black-framed glazing, and the sort of finish you normally only get in a weekend away.

A WORD FROM THE EXPERT...

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.
