YOUR NEW HOME

First stop is the picturesque red brick frontage, accented in white trim and making for superb kerb appeal, all nicely set back behind a neat front yard.

Inside, your front lounge totals around 200 square feet, naturally bright from the bay window with those pristine walls making the most of the illumination. Original timber floorboards, artfully restored, flow underfoot. It's a fine, expansive social space, with open shelving either side of the chimney breast.

Move on down the hall, finished in striking royal blue, and your bedroom awaits on the left, a 160 square foot double, finished in pale smoky grey up to the picture rail. The original floorboards flow on in here, and there's a large window with a leafy garden view.

Across the hallway there's a couple of substantial dedicated cupboards for storage – always a welcome bonus in London apartment living – while at the end you come to your dining room.

At 140 square feet, this is another substantial hosting option, pristinely finished in white once again, with engineered blonde hardwood floors underfoot and more leafy green views. 

Your kitchen is laid open and decked out with a comprehensive suite of seamless cabinets in palest grey. Complementary white countertops and a vivid green letterbox splashback complete things, An archway to the rear leads onto the secondary hallway, and your bathroom, flawless in white, with a vessel sink and a shower over the tub

Finally, step outside for the secluded, leafy side return, expanding into a neat courtyard, flanked by  thriving greenery. South facing down one flank, it's a lovely outdoor retreat.

YOUR NEW NEIGHBOURHOOD

Francis Road is less than five minutes away at the end of your street, and still the premier social hub for Leyton, even as E10 goes from strength to strength.

Among the many highlights are Yardarm, serving up fine wines to enjoy in or takeaway, as well as delicious deli delights. Marmelo Kitchen, Albert & Francis and Dreamhouse Records are all also well worth a visit, providing the area with its enviable character.

There's also the new Saturday street market, KERB, great for fresh produce, and live events from silent discos to outdoor film screenings courtesy of Francis Road Lates.

Just a half mile away on foot you'll find Leyton Midland Road overground, for the Suffragette line and direct trains to Barking Riverside for the River Thames.

Even if you're not getting on a train it's still well worth the stroll. Explore under and around the arches for Gravity Well Taproom, Perky Blenders cafe and Burnt Smokehouse, while just a little further up the road you have Tilbury Yard, with regular pop ups.

Leyton tube is just fifteen minutes on foot for the Central line, and fast direct connections to Liverpool Street (ten minutes) and Oxford Circus (twenty). So whether you're heading into town for work or play you have a door to door trip of around half an hour.

When it comes to greenery, both Coronation Gardens and Sidmouth Park  are barely five minutes away, excellent options for morning runs or evening strolls. And if you really want to stretch your legs, you can choose between Epping Forest or Hackney Marshes, both around a half an hour away.

An exceptionally well appointed one bedroom garden apartment, with a distinctive wealth of hosting options, flawless finishes throughout and a lush but low maintenance garden. Sat just off Francis Road, there are plenty of options for transport, nature and nightlife nearby.
