Description

A bright and surprisingly spacious studio flat for sale in sought-after Upper Leytonstone. Set on the ground floor of a small, stylish block, this well-planned home combines a generous living and sleeping space with a separate kitchen, private garage and access to a large shared garden. It’s also well placed for the amenities and transport links of both Leyton and Leytonstone.

Set on a quiet residential street lined with well-maintained properties, this attractive home makes a great first impression, with a beautifully manicured front garden and brick arched porch leading into the shared entrance.

A small private hallway, with access to the fully tiled bathroom. Finished in a modern style, the bathroom features a white suite comprising a WC, vanity unit with inset basin and mirrored cabinet, together with a glazed shower enclosure.

The main living and sleeping space is a particularly bright and versatile room, with full-width south-east facing windows overlooking the front garden. Light grey walls, pale carpeting and white trim create a calm, contemporary feel, while the cleverly designed sleeping arrangement allows the room to work equally well as a living space during the day.

A double Murphy-style bed is concealed behind bi-folding, part-glazed doors which, when closed, have the appearance of an attractive display cabinet. There is also a triple built-in wardrobe with additional storage above the bed, while the generous floor space allows for comfortable seating, further storage and a small dining area.

The separate kitchen is another surprisingly spacious part of the apartment, arranged in a practical U-shaped configuration to make excellent use of the available space. A good range of white handleless units and drawers is paired with dark granite-effect worktops, creating a clean and contemporary finish. A window overlooking the front of the property brings in natural light and adds to the sense of space.

To the rear, the large shared garden provides plenty of room to relax or entertain, with paved patio areas, a lawn and established planted borders. A private garage, accessed from James Lane, provides valuable additional storage and parking space.

Upper Leytonstone is popular for its combination of residential surroundings, independent businesses and excellent transport connections. Both Leyton and Leytonstone High Roads are within easy reach, offering a wide choice of shops, cafés, restaurants, bars and everyday services. Local favourites include Burnt Smokehouse, Gravity Well Taproom, Peaky Blinders and The Heathcote and Star.
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 across London.
For outdoor space and leisure, there is plenty nearby too, with Hackney Marshes, Walthamstow Wetlands Nature Reserve and Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park all within easy reach.

As a husband and wife team with over 50 years' collective experience in property sales and lettings, we've been your local estate agents since the late nineties.

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.

We're able to combine our passion for property and our deep affection for the area to help people find their next happy home. 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.
