Albert Road, Leyton, E10

Passionately designed and curated, this is an especially striking two bedroom ground floor apartment, impeccably appointed throughout with a professionally landscaped rear garden. Sat just off Francis Road, your location is equally enviable.

Every single space is unique and expertly crafted for its own arresting aesthetic. The colour palette ranges from soft pastels to striking blacks and immaculate whites, while original features and contemporary designer flourishes are everywhere.

The independent shops, cafes and delis of Francis Road are just five minutes from your new front door, the pedestrianised heart of Leyton's cafe capital and an especially, friendly and welcoming community. You're also well served for transport, schools and greenery.

YOUR NEW HOME

Nicely set back from the street and screened by a neat hedge, your classic frontage is all brick and ornate original mouldings. Inside your hallway features whitewashed vintage floorboards and some handy understairs storage on your right.

Turn left into your lounge for more walls and floors of pristine white, high period ceilings and a bright airy feel. There's a large bay window and a striking jet black chimney breast taking centre stage, inset with a dark, glossy vintage hearth.

At 150 square feet, it's an elegantly appointed social space and a superb introduction.

Next door your principal bedroom features custom-made floor to ceiling wardrobes and storage in soft touch dusky rose with pine trim. There's a matt black vintage hearth at the centre, more white washed original floorboards and palest green paintwork completing the look. Bedroom two is next, a generous single finished in lively yellow and white stripes.

Your kitchen is especially sleek, with seamless flanks of gloss white cabinetry top and bottom, divided by letterbox splashbacks and timber worktops. The backdrop is more dusky rose, there're more whitewashed vintage floorboards underfoot, and your stainless steel oven, hob and extractor are set in a charming alcove of exposed brick.

Natural light flows in through double patio doors leading out to the garden. We'll explore there shortly.

To the rear, off the kitchen, your bathroom completes things; utterly immaculate with letterbox tilework running from floor to ceiling, a chrome heated towel rail and shower over the tub.

The garden is artfully landscaped into an extension of the apartment itself, your sheltered side return paved and home to well selected plants, ideal for morning coffee.

Stepping into the garden proper, you have a sunken patio, BBQ perfect and home to more carefully curated plantlife before ascending to a substantial length of lawn, barely overlooked and ending in a substantial shed. A gold dust storage solution for London apartment living.

YOUR NEW NEIGHBOURHOOD

Step out of your front door and Francis Road is the immediate highlight. The much loved Albert & Francis cafe sits on the junction at the end of your street, marking the start of the pedestrianised stretch and making this an especially excellent spot for families.

Other highlights include Yardarm for expertly curated vintages, Marmelo Kitchen for a range of deli delights and the ever popular Northcote Arms, a great community pub with regular live events. There's also the new Saturday KERB street market.

Leytonstone tube will get you to Liverpool Street in a little over ten minutes and to Oxford Circus in around twenty via the Central line. It's less than half a mile on foot for speedy, direct, door to door trips whether you're heading out for work or play.

Leyton Midland Road overground is just as close for the Suffragette line to the River Thames. Explore under and around the arches here for more eating and drinking spots including Gravity Well Taproom, the original Perky Blenders Cafe and the new market at Tilbury Yard.

Abbotts Park, Coronation Gardens and Sidmouth Park are all less than half a mile away on foot, for morning jogs and evening strolls. If you really want to stretch your legs you have both Epping Forest and Hackney Marshes around a half hour away.

Finally, local schools are excellent, with a wide choice of primaries including Newport, Riverley and Willowbrook, all rated 'Outstanding' at their latest inspections.
