Albert Road, Leyton, E10

Sparklingly finished, naturally bright and generously proportioned, this two bedroom, first floor period conversion is perfectly placed in the heart of Leyton, between Francis Road and Leytonstone tube. You also have a freshly landscaped rear garden.

With over 650 square feet to stretch out in, and a layout flexible enough for a variety of needs, this is a superb find for couples and families alike. Finishes are sleek, bright and modern, there's plenty of social space and you have scope to expand still further into the loft (STPP).

Francis Road's enviable range of independent bars, cafes and shops are just five minutes on foot and you also have speedy Central line links to the City and West End around half a mile away. There's also a great choice of nearby parks, schools and wide open greenery.

YOUR NEW HOME

Climb the stairs for a sizeable, softly carpeted landing. To the front, your principal bedroom is an impressive 120 square feet, all illuminated by that large bay window. Soft smoke grey carpet runs underfoot, offset by a sage green Farrow & Ball paint job.

Bedroom two is next door, a double of around 100 square feet with more soft carpeting, natural light and a tranquil cream colour scheme.

Your reception room features a garden view, soft blush paintwork, another high end Farrow & Ball finish, and a working log burner nestled in a charming exposed brick hearth, all sat below a reclaimed timber mantel. Totalling over 120 square feet this is a splendid social space.

To the rear, your dual aspect kitchen diner is generous enough to serve as a second hosting option, or your principal spot for welcoming guests if you decide to turn the lounge into a third bedroom. In here you have blonde hardwood running underfoot, and a vintage hearth overseeing the nice bright dining area.

Your kitchen's artfully zoned with a view of the garden, and decked out in classic cream cabinets below solid granite worktops and sky blue letterbox splashbacks. Next door your bathroom features a walk in shower cubicle and tower chrome towel rail.

Out into the garden now where everything's been recently landscaped to create a South East facing outdoor solace. Patio gives way to lawn, which in turn leads to a lovely timber decked suntrap, all surrounded by high fencing.

Finally you have direct access to the loft space, and can potentially follow the lead set by some of your neighbours and add your own whole new storey by developing here, subject to the usual permissions, making this a home that can grow with you and yours.

YOUR NEW NEIGHBOURHOOD

There's lots to love about your central Leyton location, but first of all let's explore Francis Road, still E10's premier cafe hub and just five minutes away at the end of your street. Albert & Francis sits on its namesake intersection, offering up speciality brews and delicious pastries.

There's also Yardarm for an expertly curated selection of wines and deli treats, served up at regular tasting events, and Dreamhouse Records, where you can rediscover the lost art of flipping through racks of vinyl.

Finally, the new KERB street market, and silent discos and cinema screenings courtesy of Francis Road Lates add still more reasons to love this charming micro community.

You also have not one but two superb new locals just a half mile away on foot. The Northcote Arms and The Heathcote & Star are both much loved local favourites with delicious food and drink, regular events and a lovely beer gardens.

Whenever you want to venture further afield, Leytonstone tube station is around ten minutes from your new front door, for speedy Central line connections to the City and West End. Liverpool Street is about twenty minutes away, door to door.

Leyton Midland Road is just as close, for the overground Suffragette line plus its own range of eating and drinking spots, under and around the arches.

And in yet another option for getting about, you have a secure bike hanger just down the pavement, so cyclists can take advantage of East London's growing network, offering a practically seamless ride all the way to Hackney and Whitechapel.
