IF YOU LIVE HERE…

Step inside and you’ll find period character sitting comfortably alongside sleek, modern design, all arranged across two floors of beautifully planned living space.

The reception room is a great example of this balance, with sash bay windows bringing in plenty of light, while the engineered parquet flooring, immaculate decor and touches like the antique-style radiator and bespoke carpentry add real personality.

Head through to the rear and the kitchen/diner presents a fantastic heart of the home. It’s been thoughtfully designed with brass fittings, sleek units, integrated appliances and a sociable island-style breakfast bar. There’s also the added bonus of a separate utility room and a ground floor WC.

From here, Crittall-style doors lead out to a beautifully landscaped, wonderfully secluded garden, just the spot for relaxing when the weather warms up.

Upstairs, you’ll find three stylish bedrooms, all finished to the same high standard, with the front room also benefiting from built-in storage. The family bathroom is just as well considered, featuring charming tiling and an over-tub shower.

Because you’re nicely nestled between Leytonstone, Leyton and Forest Gate, you have plenty of choice when it comes to amenities. Start with a very short stroll to Wanstead Flats. Hungry? Head to the nearby Winchelsea Road, a thriving hub with some fantastic eateries located in the old railway arches. Look out for Pretty Decent Beer, The Wanstead Kitchen, Wild Goose Bakery and Joyau.

Or head north towards Leytonstone where you’ve got the much lauded Le Regret and FORNO, as well as other top rated restaurants.

You’ll never be stuck for essentials since there’s an abundance of convenience stores nearby, plus you’re only a short journey on the bus or tube for Westfield and the Olympic Park.
