Francis Road, Leyton, E10

This is a superbly placed two bedroom first floor apartment, in the sought after Abraham style, right in the heart of Francis Road. Everything's smartly finished and move in ready, plus you have a dedicated entrance and private garden.

The classic Abraham design not only means you have a dedicated front door, sat below that signature arch, but there's also a private rear garden accessed via a wrought iron staircase. Other sought after bonuses includes a utility space and sun room, and it's all chain free.

You're in the very heart of E10's cafe capital here, with the much loved Albert & Francis right across the road, and the pedestrianised centre of Francis Road spreading out to either side. You're also just ten minutes from the speedy Central line connections of Leyton tube.

YOUR NEW HOME

The handsome frontage is all classic London brick and immaculate original mouldings, with your dedicated entrance under that signature arch.

Step inside and climb the stairs to find a proper broad landing, pristine in white and full of light. Your living room sits to the front, 125 square feet of social space with smoky grey carpet underfoot and more boxfresh white paintwork.

A charming blank hearth of exposed brick takes centre stage, below a dark timber mantel. The space is lit by a pair of double glazed sash windows, sitting above a striking gun metal radiator.

Next door bedroom one is a generous single of sixty five square feet, with more smoke grey carpet and white walls. Bedroom two is a substantial double of 125 square feet, and similarly styled.

Moving to the rear, your kitchen diner is a bright and generous 130 square feet, with smoke grey engineered hardwood flowing underfoot, and top and bottom flanks of seamless white cabinets. Immaculate as ever and another great spot for welcoming guests.

Next we get to see the much loved Abraham layout at its best. Stroll through the kitchen diner and you have a dedicated utility space on the right, great for laundry. The secondary hallway then blooms out into a skylit, south facing sun room.

In here you have floor to ceiling sliding patio doors giving onto a glazed Juliet balcony overlooking the garden. There's more smoky engineered hardwood underfoot, it's a unique space for morning coffee.

Or you can just step outside and descend the cast iron staircase to your private garden, a forty four foot length of tiered decking and lawn, perfect for creating your own outdoor retreat and sun room view.

Back inside and things are completed by your bathroom, effortless once again in white and grey, while your handily separated WC sits off to one side. A sleek and sophisticated two bedroom Abraham, and all chain free.

YOUR NEW NEIGHBOURHOOD

You couldn't be closer to the heart of things here, Francis Road remains Leyton's premier social hub even as the area evolves dramatically.

Right across the street you have Albert & Francis, one of the most well established and much loved choices for a great cup of coffee and delightful pastries. Explore further for fine wines and deli delights at Yardarm, classic vinyl at Dreamhouse Records and the always welcoming Northcote Arms community pub.

There's also the Saturday KERB street market and regular pop up events courtesy of Francis Road Lates.

And there are plenty more choices nearby; take a stroll to the railway arches of Leyton Midland Road or the market at Tilbury Yard and you'll find a whole new range of wining and dining spots, from the critically acclaimed Burnt Smokehouse to the original Perky Blenders Cafe.

Leyton Midland Road is half a mile on foot and will get you to Barking Riverside via the Suffragette line, for direct runs to the River Thames. Alternatively, Leyton tube is about the same distance, and the Central line will get you directly to the City in ten minutes or the West End in twenty.

Finally, greenery; there's a range of parks less than ten minutes away, from the elegantly landscaped grounds of Coronation Gardens to the pitches and playgrounds of Leyton Jubilee Park. You also have endless Epping Forest or the true wilderness of Hackney Marshes just half an hour on foot anytime you want to lose yourself and forget you're in London.
