Murchison Road, Leyton, E10

A truly exceptional two bedroom, purpose built Victorian garden apartment. Finishes are bespoke, thoughtful and high end, with a whole host of extra designer details throughout. Leyton's cafe capital of Francis Road is just a few steps away.

From the bespoke Hill + Hurl cabinetry to the original pine flooring, period fireplaces and replica Victorian front door, you have a superb blend of vintage style and modern designer flourishes here. Your rear garden is at once low maintenance and elegantly landscaped.

Francis Road, still E10's most sought after social hub, is just steps away at the end of your street, while the speedy Central line links of Leyton tube are around a half mile on foot. You're surrounded by excellent parks, lovely pubs and superb public transport.

YOUR NEW HOME

Step inside and you'll immediately appreciate both the high ceilings and generous proportions of the period, as well as the work that's gone into preserving the vintage features and adding plenty of new contemporary twists.

Your front lounge comes in at around 150 square feet, with glossily restored original timber floorboards underfoot, and an oversized bay window inset with replica sashes. Walls are finished, as throughout, in Lick paint; in here a simple pristine white to make the most of the natural light.

Next door, your principal bedroom features the original cast iron fireplace. A substantial double of around 120 square feet, it's once again high ceilinged and bright. Out in the hall there's some handy storage and a door nicely separating the front and back halves for an effective multiplication of space.

Your kitchen features soft closing cabinets white, seamless and separated by downlit timber counters and a Blue backsplash. The original floorboards are especially effective in here, contrasting nicely with the sleek modern cabinetry.

Bedroom two sits to the back, a generous single ideal for a child or home working space, and featuring another original fireplace. Your family bathroom sits next to it, a gorgeous boutique affair with striking Yorkshire Tile Company 'Breccia Viola', marbled style tilework and a vintage rainfall shower over the tub.

Step out into the garden for a new resin bound stone patio, giving way to a generous length of Trulawn bordered by beds and high timber fencing, and ending in a second raised patio. Perfect for morning coffee or an evening glass of wine. There's also a solid and substantial timber storage unit.
