IF YOU LIVED HERE…
Set behind a charming period frontage, this generous home immediately reveals its distinctive bays and decorative mouldings, highlighting the craftsmanship of the era. Inside, a long hallway introduces a welcome sense of openness, with original detailing guiding you through the ground floor. The front reception enjoys a wide bay that brings in ample daylight and creates an easy backdrop for future design ideas. Beyond this sits a further reception enriched with ornate cornicing, offering a versatile room suited to a variety of uses. The rear reception continues the feeling of space with another bay window and leads naturally into the kitchen and side return, a layout that holds clear potential for reimagining the area as a connected, flowing space with genuine indoor–outdoor living in mind, subject to the usual permissions.

The garden extends this potential further, offering a broad, uncomplicated outdoor area ready to be shaped into a more inviting extension of the home.

Upstairs, the landing leads to three well-proportioned bedrooms. The front room features a wide bay and decorative ceiling rose, giving it an airy, light character. The middle bedroom feels calm and adaptable, while the rear bedroom benefits from gentle natural light and a straightforward layout. The bathroom is bright and generously sized, with a large window enhancing the sense of openness, and a separate WC sits nearby. Two cellar rooms complete the property, providing valuable additional space and storage options.

The neighbourhood offers a lively mix of green spaces, independent favourites, and excellent amenities, creating a setting that feels both vibrant and well connected. Drapers Field provides a handy sweep of open space close by, while the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park opens up vast parkland, waterways, and sporting venues for energetic days out. East Village adds real buzz with its cluster of cafés and eateries, including Signorelli, making it a great spot for relaxed weekend wandering. Francis Road brings a warm, village-like feel with Yardarm, Marmelo, the Northcote Arms and its pedestrian-friendly weekend market. For larger outings, Westfield Stratford offers everything from Café Concerto on the balcony to games at Bat & Ball, along with extensive shopping across its many floors.

“I have called Leytonstone home for five years and have grown to love its eclectic character. From gastro pubs like Leytonstone Tavern and The Red Lion to bistro cafés such as The Wild Goose Bakery and Back to Ours, there is always somewhere new to enjoy. Wanstead Flats offers a peaceful green escape from city life. The area is rich in history, with Grade II listed landmarks including St John’s Baptist Church from 1832 and Leytonstone House, once home to Sir Edward Buxton. St Andrew’s Church, built in the late 19th century as a memorial to William Cotton, is another striking landmark. On quieter days, Leytonstone Library is a welcoming spot, while Leytonstone Leisure Centre is ideal if you are feeling active. Nearby Wanstead Park has walking trails, cycle paths and lakes, perfect for unwinding. With plenty of bus routes and the Central line close by, the City is only minutes away”.
