Drayton Road, Leytonstone

A light-filled two-bedroom ground floor apartment in a connected Leytonstone setting, just moments from the station and a short walk from the High Road. Very well presented and with allocated parking, this is a home that feels practical, generous and easy to settle into.

IF YOU LIVED HERE…

The layout is simple and well judged, with a broad central hallway leading through to a generous reception room at the front. At just under seventeen feet in length, it is a lovely space to spend time in, with enough room to shape distinct areas for relaxing and dining. Natural light pours in through the large windows, while the warm flooring and soft, neutral backdrop give the room an easy sense of comfort.

The kitchen sits separately, neatly arranged and thoughtfully finished, with smart cabinetry, good storage and plenty of worktop space. Both bedrooms are genuine doubles, which is always a welcome find, and the bathroom is unusually roomy too. Altogether, the flat has a calm, well cared for feel, with bright rooms, pleasing proportions and a quiet spot at the back of the building that adds to the sense of retreat.

A WORD FROM THE OWNER...

"I have absolutely loved this flat. It was my first purchased home and as soon as I stepped in I immediately felt that warm energy I had been searching for. Some flats have that homely energy when you step in and this certainly has that. I refurbished the whole flat when I moved in to make it as characterful and charming as possible and due to the big rooms, I had a lot to play with. I was always hosting gatherings at the flat as people felt at home here.
It goes without saying that it is incredibly convenient. The central line is so close, as is the overground and there are so many shops around! Fillibrook on the end of the road is the best bar/restaurant in Leytonstone in my opinion so I felt very lucky to have that as my local.
There is a yoga studio just round the corner, as well as a pharmacy, Unity cafe and more.
One of the real benefits of this flat is how quiet it is! As it is around the back of the building, I get no road noise at all.
I absolutely love Leytonstone and this flat and I will be sad to leave it as I have so many wonderful memories here."
