IF YOU LIVED HERE…

This classic Victorian home showcases handsome London stock brickwork, refined detailing, and a distinctive bay window that lends depth and character to the frontage. Crisp painted accents emphasise the period character, while a driveway provides convenient off-street parking.

Inside, a welcoming hallway leads through to a well-proportioned reception room to the rear, where soft green panelling, rich-toned flooring, and built-in shelving create a graceful yet relaxed atmosphere. The space flows naturally into a dining area, where patterned tiles and large glazed doors open directly onto the garden, filling the room with sunlight and framing lovely views of the greenery beyond.

Outside, a generous stretch of lawn bordered by mature planting creates a peaceful continuation of the home’s interior. Its seamless connection to the living space makes it ideal for relaxed summer dining or simply enjoying a quiet moment outdoors.

In the kitchen, a sense of calm and balance continues, with white cabinetry, tiled flooring, and wooden work surfaces adding warmth and contrast. A glazed door also opens to the outdoor space, maintaining a sense of continuity throughout the home.

Both bedrooms are bright and well presented, with the main room featuring a graceful bay window fitted with plantation shutters, and the second offering a soothing, neutral backdrop. The bathroom, finished in soft tones with tiled walls and a full-sized bath, completes this characterful property, a home that combines period charm with light, inviting spaces and an effortless connection to the outdoors.

Surrounded by leafy open spaces and a friendly village atmosphere, this location offers an enviable balance of nature and city life. Leyton Flats and Hollow Pond sit just a short stroll away, where walking trails and open water provide a peaceful escape on the edge of Epping Forest.

A WORD FROM THE EPXERT...

"Leytonstone is a unique, eclectic area, with great gastro pubs like Leytonstone Tavern and The Red Lion to bistro cafés like The Wild Goose Bakery and Back to Ours, along with the open green space of Wanstead Flats, a serene getaway from the hustle and bustle of urban life.
The area is full of history, with interesting, beautiful Grade II listed buildings like St John’s Baptist Church (built in 1832) and Leytonstone House, the 18th-century home of Sir Edward Buxton, notable MP and conservationist. There’s also St Andrew’s Church, built in 1886–1893 as a memorial to local philanthropist William Cotton.
Leytonstone Library is a great place to visit if you’re feeling studious and Leytonstone Leisure centre is close by for the more actively minded. Wanstead Park, in the former grounds of Wanstead House, takes in walking trails, cycle paths and several ornamental lakes — a great place to relax, exercise and soak up some local history.
With an array of buses and the Central line underground station close by, you can be in the City and surrounding areas within minutes."
