If you’re looking for a unique property full of charm and heritage, you’ll find it here in one of Leyton’s most distinctive landmark buildings. Set on the ground and first floor of a striking Grade II listed Victorian building, this smart studio apartment spans just under 300 square feet. Finished to an immaculate standard and filled with natural light throughout, it’s a welcoming, well-balanced space with plenty of character and the freedom to make it your own. Perfectly positioned, you’re close to the convenience of the High Road, with the pedestrianised calm of Francis Road a short stroll away. Leyton tube station is just a four-minute walk, keeping the rest of London comfortably within reach.

IF YOU LIVED HERE...

This landmark Grade II-listed Victorian building has a rich past. Completed in 1896 in an ornate Italianate style, it served as a civic institution for more than a century before being converted into 32 individual apartments in 2011.

Even from the outside, the building makes an impression, with its bold brick façade and confident proportions. Inside, that sense of stature continues. Original details have been carefully preserved from the polished wooden handrails, finely worked iron spindles and a sweeping staircase, all reflect the building’s craft and history.

A secure entry system adds peace of mind, before you enter into your own private hallway where steps take you past clever built-in storage (shelving recessed into the wall and a cupboard under the staircase) with a glass-panelled balustrade allowing light to flow and providing a contemporary twist, before opening out into your main studio room.

Warm wooden flooring runs underfoot, paired with crisp white walls for a clean, cohesive feel throughout.

In the main living space, three large sash windows pour in natural light. Its double aspect and southwesterly orientation is a real bonus, ensuring you get the best of the sunlight all day. The kitchen sits neatly to the rear, fitted with shaker-style units, rustic tiling, timber worktops and streamlined, integrated appliances. With high ceilings adding an extra lift, the entire space feels bright, calm and easy to live in. There's even another large walk-in storage space off this main room - perfect as a pantry or even a discreet office set-up

You'll find the bathroom set on the next level, finished with polished concrete–style tiling, bringing a subtle industrial note that sets off the sleek white suite beautifully.

And for a spot so well connected, there’s plenty of greenery close by. Coronation Gardens, Hackney Marshes and the Olympic Park are all within walking distance, offering space to slow down when you need it.

WHAT ELSE?

Effortlessly connected not just to the tube but also to bus routes, and cycling paths, ensure you’ll have seamless travel into the City and beyond. The central line takes you to Stratford in 3 mins, Liverpool Street in 12 mins and the West End in 30 mins. The Suffragette line from nearby Leytonstone High Road station is also easily accessible.
The popular Leyton Mills Retail Park is also just around the corner, which has an abundance of supermarkets and stores.
Equally, Westfield Stratford City has all your favourite brands under one roof, and the Olympic Park is a short distance away, providing the perfect opportunity for those who love running, walking or cycling in nature.

A WORD FROM THE EXPERT.......

“Leyton has that rare mix of grit and warmth that makes everyday life feel a little richer. On Francis Road, Saturday mornings turn into catch-ups over coffee, while the High Road hums with the scent of everything from Peruvian fusion to fresh-baked bread. I love that you can be in Jubilee Park with the dog one minute, picnicking in Coronation Gardens the next, or heading to the Olympic Park for something completely different. It’s a place that gives you room to breathe without ever feeling sleepy.
The homes here have real soul; Victorian terraces with bay windows, Edwardian conversions full of character, and just enough quirks to make each one unique. Add the quick Central Line dash into town, schools you can count on, and a community that still says hello on the street, and it’s hard not to feel anchored here. Leyton isn’t trying to be perfect, it’s real, evolving, and exactly where I want to be”.
