Murchison Road, Leyton, E10

A beautifully appointed, naturally bright ground floor apartment, with private rear garden home to a substantial studio. Leyton's ever expanding social hub of Francis Road is right on your doorstep, with transport, nature and nightlife all within easy reach.

Everything's finished to a high standard with a variety of luxurious touches from sanded floors to Farrow & Ball paintwork to underfloor heating. Your front lounge is especially generous, and the rear garden with office is a standout London addition.

E10's cafe capital, Francis Road, is just a few steps away at the end of your street for delis and coffee spots, bars and the KERB street market. You're also well placed for greenery with a choice of parks within easy strolling distance as well as underground and overground transport connections.

YOUR NEW HOME

Step inside and your hallway's bright and resplendent in Farrow & Ball California Collection paint, with blonde sanded floorboards running underfoot. On your left a reclaimed 1930s door with original stained glass, leading into your 170 square foot front lounge.

In here you have floods of natural light from the oversized bay window, a striking tower radiator  and exposed brick hearth, with downlit open shelving and custom made cabinets either side of the chimney breast.

Next door your principal bedroom is a 130 square foot double, carpeted and with mint green paintwork from floor to ceiling.

From here the hallway blossoms out into your 150 square foot kitchen diner, home to artfully arranged flanks of smoky grey cabinetry, timber worktops and a sleek splashback of white metro tiling.

The centrepiece is a five ring stainless steel Smeg range oven with matching extractor hood. There's also another imposing tower radiator plus integrated fridge and freezer and dishwasher. A great spot for culinary adventures, as well as the best part of any party.

Bedroom two, a sparkling sizeable single and the perfect nursery, sits to the rear, while your family bathroom's next door. Here you have Spanish-style underheated floor tiles, elegant dimmable downlighting and a rainfall shower over the tub, with tilework running all the way to the ceiling.

Finally, step out into your garden for an even mix of BBQ perfect patio and a lush lawn, with timber fencing either side. It all leads to a wonderfully unique home working space; your fifty square foot, Siberian larch clad garden studio with cork flooring. Fully insulated, heated and connected. Great for that all important work/life balance.

YOUR NEW NEIGHBOURHOOD

Just a handful of steps away from your new front door, Leyton's much loved Francis Road will be a welcome part of your new routine. Tamping Grounds coffee shop is your first stop, for artisanal coffee and pastries.

A couple of doors further down, Yardarm Wineshop continues to go from strength to strength with tasting evenings, deli delights and an expertly curated range of vintages.  There's a whole host of other new favourites to explore, and the area continues to grow with the recent addition of the new KERB street market (great for fresh produce).

Sidmouth Park and Coronation Gardens are both less than a half mile on foot, anytime you want to relax in greenery. Great for morning runs and evening strolls. If you prefer your nature more wild, then the great wide open expanses of Hackney Marshes are just thirty minutes on foot or ten by bike.

On that note, not only do you have a lockable custom built bike shed with secure ground anchor in your front garden but you're extremely well placed for East London's growing network of protected cycle paths, offering an almost clear and seamless ride to Hackney and the City.

Alternatively Leyton tube is just fifteen minutes on foot (or a trivial four minute bike ride) for the Central line. From here you have nine minute connections to Liverpool Street, while Tottenham Court Road is less than twenty minutes. That's both the City and West End just a speedy door to door trip away.

Finally you have still more transport and social options around Leyton Midland Road station, less than half a mile from your new home.

As well as connecting you to the overground Suffragette line you can check under the arches for Gravity Well Taproom and Burnt Smokehouse, while across the way you have Perky Blenders cafe and the ever growing offerings of Tilbury Yard just up the road.

Lovingly appointed and expertly finished, this is a fine two bedroom find, with plenty of social space and that gold dust addition of a proper garden office. Perfectly placed just off Francis Road, you have E10's premier social hub on your doorstep, as well as easy access to transport, parks and cycle paths.
