Canberra Path, Leyton

A charmingly characterful, surprisingly spacious, one-bedroom freehold house set within easy reach of Leyton Midland Road, the much-loved local life of Leyton and open green spaces nearby. Smartly decked out and with its own patio and roof terrace, this is a beautiful home right in the very heart of things.

IF YOU LIVED HERE…

You’d be welcoming friends and family into your gloriously unique 120 square foot lounge with sleekly engineered timber floorboards underfoot. A skylight beckons in streams of natural light and patio access gives the room an easy indoor-outdoor feel, with a beautiful black staircase leading to your private roof terrace. But more about that later.

Your ground floor’s also home to a bathroom brimming with personality and original designer flair, with a tub and rainfall shower, heated towel rail and wealth of storage, as well as your generous kitchen/diner. Coming in at over 170 square feet, it’s handsomely attired in a suite of walnut cabinets and comes with a full complement of integrated appliances. There’s room to dine, cook and settle in, with a thoughtful layout that feels practical without losing its charm.

Upstairs and your bedroom’s a huge 180 square foot double with six doors of built-in storage, a tower radiator and another skylight, all with a calm, pared-back finish. Lastly, your aforementioned roof terrace is a massive 220 square feet of private timber-decked space; a brilliant extra spot for a morning coffee, evening drinks or a quiet moment in the sun, and the perfect finish to this innovative and striking home.

A WORD FROM THE OWNER....

"I fell in love with this gem of a house when I first stepped inside, and still feel the same way every time I come home – the clever design, masses of storage and stylish fixtures and fittings have made it a comfortable and beautiful place to call home. The outdoor terrace is a huge bonus, whether for a morning coffee or having friends over on a summer evening, and the light-filled living room doubles up as my home office. Leyton has really evolved since I moved here; Leyton Midland Arches (a 5-min walk) is now full of cool bars and bakeries, Francis Road's bookshops and cafés are a few minutes' further, and it's not far to Walthamstow Village's boutiques and pubs (and the contentious Gail's!). The newly opened Soho Theatre is within walking distance, and the V&A East in Stratford is a cycle away. I've loved having so much green space a short cycle away (Hackney Marshes, Wanstead Flats, Leyton Jubilee Park) and for getting into town, there's easy access to the Victoria and Central lines on foot or via a short bus ride if it's raining; Clapton, Dalston and Hackney are also served by direct buses a minute from the door. In the immediate vicinity there's a big Tesco and Aldi as well as plenty of corner shops and the odd deli, bakery and wine shop. It's a real sweet spot for anyone looking for proximity to culture, parklife and routes into central London, and I'll be sad to leave!"
