Hennessy Court, Leyton Green Road, Leyton, E10

A brilliantly situated one bedroom balcony apartment, on the first floor of a contemporary low-rise development with private parking and leafy green views. The wonderful independent gastropubs and restaurants of Walthamstow Village are just a short stroll away.

Right away the generous, proper hallway gives you plenty of incidental space, while your open plan lounge and kitchen totals over 250 square feet and gives on to that charming balcony. The apartment also comes with the gold dust London addition of private off-street parking.

You have everything you need within easy reach. Walthamstow Central station for overground and underground connections to the City and West End, Epping Forest for endless greenery and Walthamstow Village for some of the best independent bars and gastropubs for miles around.

YOUR NEW HOME

Step inside and there’s immediately a large, deep fitted storage cupboard on your right, always a welcome bonus in London apartment living. The large entrance hall adds still more incidental space for a real full house feel.

The family bathroom sits off the generous hallway, it’s home to a full size, timber panelled tub and features sleek white letterbox tiling from tub to ceiling and floor to shoulder. Smoky slate style vinyl runs underfoot, and soft pastel green paintwork completes the tranquil effect.

Next door the bedroom’s a generous double of 130 square feet, with another soft pastel paintjob, blonde hardwood underfoot, elevated rooftop views and built in, floor to ceiling mirrored wardrobes. It’s a charming sleeper.

That enormous open plan kitchen and reception is still the main event though; more than 250 square feet and full of natural light from the balcony, where double doors frame leafy treetop views of Knotts Green. 

More blonde hardwood runs underfoot, and the kitchen is elegantly set off in one corner, with top and bottom banks of honey toned timber cabinets, integrated appliances, quartz style worktops and a smart white tiled splashback.

The rest of the space sits below pendulum lighting and is large enough to easily zone for lounge and study or dining areas. Finally, step out on that balcony for leafy green views you can enjoy all year round.

YOUR NEW NEIGHBOURHOOD

You’re surrounded by a host of highlights here. Firstly, the comprehensive transport links of Walthamstow Central are just a fifteen minute stroll away. From here it’s just twenty minutes direct to Liverpool Street via the overground, and twenty to Oxford Circus via the Victoria line.

Explore a little past the station and you have the bars and theatres of Hoe Street, as well as the famous Walthamstow High Street Market.

The natural blue and green space of Hollow Ponds and Epping Forest are both just as close, just fifteen minutes and perfect for morning runs or evening strolls. You can even hire row boats to explore the waterways. Expect ducks.

For night life the enviable enclave of Walthamstow Village is barely half a mile on foot. Here you’ll find a tremendous choice of high-end wining and dining spots, from charming bistros and delicatessens to superb independent restaurants and sumptuous gastropubs.

One of these, The Castle, is barely five minutes from your new front door, with delicious food and drink, plus cosy fires in the winter months. 

Outside the village, you also have fine food and regular events at the William the Fourth pub, Portuguese & Mediterranean dining at Mar & Terra, delicious coffee at Coccole Tiramsu and lots more lively social options, right on your doorstep.
