Leslie Road, Leytonstone, E11

A two bedroom first floor garden apartment, just five minutes from Leyton tube and moments from the bustling nightlife of the High Road. You've got more than 650 square feet to play with, as well as a reassuringly long lease.

Finishes are smart and naturally bright, with everything move in ready and vintage features here and there. You can also potentially follow in your neighbours' footsteps and extend into the loft space, subject to the usual permissions.

Leytonstone High Road is less than half a mile on foot, for a range of cafes, bars and restaurants. Other social highlights within walking distance include Francis Road and Forest Gate Arches, and you're exceptionally well served for parks and green spaces.

YOUR NEW HOME

Climb the stairs and your substantial lounge sits to the front, 150 square feet, naturally bright and lit by twin sash windows. Soft grey carpet runs underfoot, walls are pristine and simple in white, and there's a striking burnished pewter hearth and mantel in the chimney breast.

Your first bedroom sits next door, a softly carpeted double with lots of natural light. Here's also where you'll find access to the loft. Even before any further development, it's a great storage solution and a gold dust addition to London apartment living.

Bedroom two is another double, rounding out the sleeping arrangements at eighty square feet, similarly styled and naturally bright. Your family bathroom's just as bright and generous, smartly finished in white tilework with an aqua strip above the full sized tub.

Your kitchen diner is big enough to serve as another social space, coming in at 110 square feet, decked out with pine cabinetry and smoky quartz worktops, with recessed spotlights sitting overhead.

Outside, and a dramatic wrought iron staircase leads down to your private, south facing rear garden. Lush and lengthy, home to mature greenery and surrounded by timber fencing, this has all the makings of a superb outdoor solace.

YOUR NEW NEIGHBOURHOOD

Sitting just to the south of Leyton tube, your location ticks a lot of boxes.

There's a wealth of greenery nearby, with a choice of parks less than ten minutes from your new front door. Wanstead Flats, once the favoured hunting ground of Tudor Kings and Queens, is barely twenty minutes on foot and well worth the stroll. You'll forget you're in London.

And that's before you start exploring the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park with its world class sporting facilities and international landmarks, all less than twenty minutes on foot.

Stratford itself is just a little further, for the Westfield Shopping Centre, a huge range of onward underground, overground and international transport connections and superb nightlife.

Staying even closer to home, Leyton tube is just a five minute walk for the Central line, direct nine minute connections to the City, and twenty minute runs to the West End. Stratford, incidentally, is just a one stop hop if you don't fancy the walk.

Local Leyton nightlife to enjoy includes Francis Road, around fifteen minutes away for a wide range of independent bars and cafes, plus the Saturday KERB street market.

There's also Leyton High Road, starting just past the station and home to one of E10's finest gastropubs, the Leyton Engineer, nestled in the Grade II listed surroundings of the Old Town Hall.

Finally, you have an excellent range of schools, with a choice of nearby primaries all rated 'Outstanding' at their latest inspection.
