Leslie Road, Leytonstone, E11

A smart and substantial two bedroom ground floor garden apartment, sat between Leyton and Stratford with transport, nightlife and world class shopping leisure within the easiest of strolls. Room sizes are generous, and you have a private garden to the rear.

The generous period proportions are in evidence throughout; both bedrooms are substantial doubles and you have a generous lounge to the front. Everything's smartly finished, yet still with plenty of scope for you to add your own designer flourishes.

Leyton tube is enviably close, just five minutes for the Central line. Stratford and its surrounding Olympic landmarks are also within easy reach to the south, while head into Leyton itself for the High Road, Francis Road and plenty of parks.

YOUR NEW HOME

Your front lounge comes in at a generous 125 square feet, bay windowed and bright, with soft grey carpet underfoot and a jet black vintage hearth taking centre stage. A simple cream paintjob completes the effect, while the high ceilings of the period make for a light airy feel.

Bedroom one is a solid double of around 100 square feet, finished once again in soft carpet and cream, with a view over your side return. Bedroom two is next door, another double, similarly sized and styled.

Your family bathroom is home to a full size tub sat against a backdrop of white tilework all the way up to the ceiling, split by an aqua tile strip. Slate grey style vinyl runs underfoot, and the space is completed by a classic white suite.

To the rear there's more of that smoky grey vinyl tiling running underfoot in your nicely bright kitchen diner. Flanks of cream cabinets fill one corner, split by dark quartz style worktops and a dark mosaic splashback.

Step out to your garden here, a zero maintenance outside space awaiting a scattering of pots and planters to turn it into a lovely outdoor solace.

YOUR NEW NEIGHBOURHOOD

You have both Leyton and Stratford within easy reach here. First and foremost, Leyton tube station is just five minutes on foot. From here the Central line will get you directly to Liverpool Street in nine minutes, or the West End in eighteen.

East London's social and transport hub of Stratford, home to the endless shopping and leisure opportunities of Westfield, a huge range of high end bars and restaurants and endless onward underground, overground and international transport connections, is just a one stop hop or twenty minute stroll away.

The bars, restaurants and pop up events of East Village (formerly the Olympic Athletes' Village) are closer still, just half a mile on foot, with the endless open greenery of the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park just a little further.

Meanwhile, Leyton's premier social hub of Francis Road is fifteen minutes away; home to a whole host of much loved local pubs, cafes, shops and delis, as well as the Saturday KERB street market.

Leyton High Road, just past the station, also has plenty to offer, and is home to one of our best gastropubs, The Leyton Engineer, sat in the sumptuous surroundings of the Grade II listed Old Town Hall.

Finally, when you're looking for lovable local greenery, Coronation Gardens and Sidmouth Park are both just a half mile on foot.
