IF YOU LIVED HERE…

A traditional Victorian façade of London stock brickwork, arched windows and a characterful bay window gives this home a quietly enduring charm that sits gracefully within its row. Inside, the entrance hall leads through to a bright and generous reception room where the high ceiling, coving and decorative fireplace bring a touch of period elegance. The soft neutral tones and broad bay window create a sense of calm and light, making it an inviting space for relaxing or entertaining.

Further along, a peaceful double bedroom continues the home’s gentle palette, its high ceiling enhancing the feeling of openness and ease. The kitchen has been thoughtfully arranged with soft grey cabinetry and warm wood worktops, its beautiful herringbone flooring adding texture and character. Daylight pours in through the window and glazed door, highlighting the subtle tiling and generous storage that make the room both practical and refined.

The bathroom is fresh and contemporary, with a bath and overhead shower framed by soft green two-tone tiling. Frosted dual-aspect windows allow sunlight to filter through while maintaining privacy, creating a bright yet soothing atmosphere.

To the rear, the garden stretches an impressive 37 metres, framed by mature trees and offering endless scope for transformation. It’s a rare expanse with huge potential to become a truly special retreat. Beneath the home, a cellar provides valuable additional storage or utility space.

Nearby, the surrounding area combines a strong community feel with an ever-evolving local scene.

A WORD FROM THE OWNER...

"We lived at the property for ten years and during that time Leyton and the surrounding areas have really improved. Within a quiet neighbourhood we are close to two good transport links, Central line and Overground. Both the High Road and Tilbury Road are continuing the improvements with the V&A outpost within walking distance too."
