Manor Road, Leyton, E10

A strong and simple three bedroom Victorian terrace, with the generous proportions of the period, an unusually substantial rear garden and plenty of scope for future development (subject to the usual permissions). You're also well placed for daily amenities and transport.

Your lengthy through lounge is especially flexible and set up to be easily zoned for separate dining or studying. You have a spare WC on each floor as well as the family bathroom, while your rear garden is over eighty feet, huge even by historical standards.

The main thoroughfare of Lea Bridge Road runs past the end of your street, just a couple of minutes walk away for cafes, shops and all your day to day needs. Leyton Midland Road station is just half a mile on foot and the expanding offerings of Tilbury Yard are just as close.

YOUR NEW HOME

Behind your classic brick frontage you have well over 900 square feet to stretch out in. Step through the handy storm porch and you're in the softly carpeted hallway, with stairs rising ahead and your flexible through lounge to the left.

Twenty four feet deep in total, simple cream paintwork makes the most of the dual aspect and the natural light, while the archway and track blind means you can effectively isolate the back half for use as a home office.

Your kitchen's another generous space, around 100 square feet with facing flanks of cream cabinets top and bottom, separated by quartz style counters and a charming vintage splashback. Cream floor tiles run underfoot.

A modest secondary hallway leads out to your garden as well as onto your family bathroom and handily separated WC. Both are part tiled, and your bathroom features an ornate tiled tub.

Outside and your garden is an undeniable highlight, starting with a generous barbecue patio in shades of terracotta pastels. This leads to pathways curving around beds and between timber fencing, in turn giving way to a lush length of lawn for the final half, all ending in a substantial shed. Uncommonly large and lengthy, and a tremendous outdoor retreat.

Upstairs and your principal bedroom occupies the entire frontage at 150 square feet, all full of light from the large bay window and secondary sash. The high period ceilings increase the sense of space, and you also have soft carpet and a pair of sizeable wardrobes.

Bedroom two is another double, strikingly carpeted in royal blue, number three is a generous single and the second guest WC completes the first floor.

The unexplored loft expansion is a superb hidden feature here, offering you the opportunity to follow in your neighbour's footsteps and add your own whole new storey, making this a home that can grow with you and yours.

YOUR NEW NEIGHBOURHOOD

Lea Bridge Road is three minutes' walk away at the end of your street, just the right distance for shops, supermarkets cafes and all your other day to day essentials. The Hare & Hounds gastropub is a particular highlight, offering fine food and drink in sumptuous surroundings. The ideal new local just ten minutes' walk away.

Leyton Midland Road overground station is just as close, a mere half mile on foot for the Suffragette overground running from Gospel Oak to Barking Riverside; a direct line to the River Thames. Alternately ride two stops to Blackhorse Road for a quick swap to the Victoria line, and speedy underground connections to Kings Cross and the West End.

Check under the railway arches at Leyton Midland Road for the likes of Gravity Well taproom and the award winning Burnt Smokehouse. Across from the station you have the much loved Perky Blenders cafe, while just up the road is the ever evolving social hub of Tilbury Yard.

When it comes to nature, you're around ten minutes from Leyton Jubilee Park, more than thirty acres of greenery perfect for morning jogs and evening strolls. If you really want to stretch your legs walk for about twenty five minutes and you come to the wild open expanses of Lee Valley Park and Hackney Marshes.

Finally, you're also well placed to take advantage of East London's growing network of protected cycle paths, which you can join right outside your door for an almost seamless ride into Hackney and the City.
