Heath Court, London E11

This bright two-bedroom apartment lies in a 1960s building on the green fringes of Leyton Flats. It occupies two levels, with living and sleeping spaces thoughtfully delineated. Contemporary details, including microcement floors and playful tiles, have been added between original and carefully reclaimed features, creating an authentic home.



The Tour



Heath Court sits on a quiet residential street opposite Leyton Flats. Its striking profile is distinctively mid-century, with a clean-lined, geometric design. Its communal spaces are similarly authentic: a period staircase ascends to the second floor, where this home’s front door lies.



Entry is to a hallway with space to hang coats and tidy away shoes. On the right is the living and dining space, a fantastic room with an exceptionally tall and wide window. Microcement runs underfoot, and white-painted walls reflect abundant light.



This room and the adjacent kitchen share a wonderfully green view. The latter has integrated appliances, including an oven, induction stove, fridge and washing machine. Plywood cabinets, Corian countertops and hung storage with pops of colour come together to combine modernity while nodding to the period.



There are two bedrooms upstairs, both with almost floor-to-ceiling windows. The principal has built-in storage and a box bay that would make for a wonderful reading nook or spot for plants. White and green square tiles (a nod to those used in the living room and kitchen) adorn the bathroom, which has a bath and an overhead shower.



The building is set in communal landscaping, shaded by mature trees. There is shared, private, and secure car parking to the rear.



The Area



Heath Court lies on Hollybush Hill, opposite the restorative expanse of Leyton Flats, a wide, open grassland that reaches up to Epping Forest. It’s known for peaceful walking, wildlife spotting, and panoramic views. Other local green spaces include Christchurch Green and, to the south, Wanstead Flats and Wanstead Park.



Wanstead High Street is a short walk away and has plenty of shops, a branch of Gail’s, The Ginger Pig, and a range of pubs. Excellent takeaway The Tiffin Tin also has a branch locally. The hub of Laytonstone is close by, home to The North Star, Homes on Donkeys and Forno bakery. Walthamstow is around 30 minutes away by public transport, as is Leyton’s Francis Road, which is home to a brilliant range of independent shops and places to eat.



There are plenty of secondary and primary schools locally. Snaresbrook station, on the Central line, is a 10-minute walk away. Leytonstone Underground station is around half a mile away (a seven-minute cycle or 20-minute walk), while Leytonstone High Road (Suffragette line) can be reached in around 10 minutes by bike. There are also several bus routes nearby.
