Description

A bright and spacious one-bedroom first-floor flat for sale in the popular area of Upper Leytonstone. Set within a small, modern block, the property offers generously proportioned rooms, a practical layout and a well-maintained finish, with excellent local amenities and transport links close by.

Located on a quiet residential street lined with well-maintained properties, the building is approached through a beautifully manicured front garden. A brick arched porch leads into the shared entrance, while the flat’s own private entrance opens into a welcoming hallway with useful storage for coats and shoes.

The bedroom is positioned to the left and is notably well equipped with built-in furniture, including bedside tables, display niches and a generous run of wardrobes. There is still plenty of space for a comfortable double bed, making this a practical and restful room with little need for additional storage furniture.

The bathroom has a modern suite comprising a bath with shower attachment, WC and pedestal basin with mirrored cabinet above. A south-east-facing window brings plenty of natural light into the room, complementing the attractive wall tiling and pearlescent mosaic border.

The reception room is particularly impressive for a one-bedroom flat, with a full wall of windows overlooking the front garden bringing in plenty of natural light. Modern decoration and carpeting provide a neutral backdrop, while the generous proportions allow plenty of space for comfortable seating, an entertainment unit, bookshelves and even a dining area.

The unusually large separate kitchen provides an excellent amount of storage and preparation space, with long runs of gloss white cabinets and drawers, brushed chrome hardware and contrasting dark granite-effect worktops. Smoked glass display cabinets and a useful larder unit add further storage, while the kitchen also houses the washing machine and has space for a dishwasher. A generous window above the 1.5-bowl sink looks out over the front garden, adding to the light and airy feel.

To the rear, the property benefits from access to a large shared garden, with paved patio areas, lawn and planted borders providing plenty of space to enjoy outdoors. A private garage, accessed via James Lane, is another valuable addition.

Upper Leytonstone is popular for its combination of attractive residential streets, excellent amenities and convenient transport connections. Leyton and Leytonstone High Roads are close by, offering a wide choice of shops, cafés and hospitality, while local favourites including Burnt Smokehouse, Gravity Well Taproom, Peaky Blinders and The Heathcote and Star are all within easy reach.

Leyton Midland Road Overground station is less than a ten-minute walk away, while Leytonstone Central Line station is around 15 minutes on foot, providing straightforward connections into central London.

There are also plenty of opportunities to escape the city, with Hackney Marshes, Walthamstow Wetlands Nature Reserve and Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park all within easy reach.

In 2021, during the height of the Coronavirus pandemic and its many challenges, we decided to give our team a boost, a bright new future, something to look forward to... and it was also about time Trading Places got a fresh look too, one to reflect the wonderful and vibrant local community we love so much.

Over the past two decades we've grown and evolved as people and as a business and watched the fantastic neighbourhood we live and work in do the same. So, while our core values and exceptional service standards will never change, we really hope you like our brand new look.

And with a fantastic mix of distinctive Edwardian and Victorian properties, charming cottages full of character, snug terraced houses and smart, modern flats, this beautiful London suburb really does have something for everyone - you just need the right support to help you find it!

Whether you're looking for a quiet and cosy home to really settle in, or a vibrant pad in the heart of the 'hubub', our local estate agents know every part of Leytonstone and the surrounding hidden gems of East London... and we promise that we'll always offer you 100% honest advice.
