This completely refurbished two bedroom Victorian apartment on the top two floors of a Victorian terraced house is within easy walking distance of both the shops and tube in central Leytonstone and the green spaces of Leyton flats and Wanstead Flats.

IF YOU LIVED HERE

The property has been refurbished throughout to a high standard, and is decorated in a monochrome palette, with white walls and ceilings, wood floors, grey carpets and tiling, and a black feature fireplace. Both the bathroom and kitchen have been completely renovated, with contemporary fixtures and fittings.

Entering the apartment on the first floor, you come straight into a bright hallway with doors to the living room, kitchen/diner and bathroom. The two bedrooms are on the second floor, built into the loft space.

The main living room is huge, measuring 17’4” by 15’11”, with two west-facing windows to the front of the property, including a large bay. This handsome room has plantation blinds, a wood floor and an impressive fireplace. It’s a great space for relaxing or entertaining.

The rear kitchen diner is almost square at 13’3” by 11’3” and has a comprehensive range of fitted light grey high gloss handless fitted wall and floor units with neat integrated appliances, and light grey high gloss floor tiles. Double glazed French doors with garden views open onto a Juliet balcony, and there’s plenty of space in the middle of the room for a dining table and chairs.

The bathroom is beautifully finished, with grey metro-tiled walls and a modern bathroom suite that includes a bath with an overhead shower and glass screen and a heated towel rail. It also has a large opening window.

The two double bedrooms are both built into the roof space. The larger front bedroom is over 17 feet long, and the second double bedroom measures a generous 13’3” by 11’6”. Both rooms have a dormer window with built-in storage below a window seat.

A WORD FROM THE EXPERT...

"Leytonstone is a unique, eclectic area, with great gastro pubs like Leytonstone Tavern and The Red Lion to bistro cafés like The Wild Goose Bakery and Gray, along with the open green space of Wanstead Flats, a serene getaway from the hustle and bustle of urban life.
The area is full of history, with interesting, beautiful Grade II listed buildings like St John’s Baptist Church (built in 1832) and Leytonstone House, the 18th-century home of Sir Edward Buxton, notable MP and conservationist. There’s also St Andrew’s Church, built in 1886–1893 as a memorial to local philanthropist William Cotton.
Leytonstone Library is a great place to visit if you’re feeling studious and Leytonstone Leisure centre is close by for the more actively minded. Wanstead Park, in the former grounds of Wanstead House, takes in walking trails, cycle paths and several ornamental lakes — a great place to relax, exercise and soak up some local history.
With an array of buses and the Central line underground station close by, you can be in the City and surrounding areas within minutes."
