Bursting with equally generous helpings of expertise and love, this is a boutique, designer, four bedroom family find in the heart of Leyton. Laid out over three storeys, offered chain free and within easy reach of transport, nature and nightlife. A superb family find.
There's a smart, contemporary aesthetic running across all 1400 square feet here, taking in individual room to room character as well as a host of original features, with lovingly restored floorboards to cast iron radiators retained throughout.
You're just a couple of minutes on foot from Leyton Midland Road overground station and its growing array of surrounding bars, restaurants and cafes. You also have Francis Road and Leyton High Road a short stroll away, and there's plenty of greenery within easy reach.
YOUR NEW HOME
That impressive, frontage sets the tone early on, with flawless brickwork and stately grey timber trim. Inside, perfectly restored vintage hardwood floors run underfoot in the broad entrance hall.
On your left is the first reception, 150 square feet with more original hardwood floorboards, a jet black vintage hearth and a smooth sandstone paintjob all the way up to pristine white original cornicing. Finally, the box bay window is home to bistro shutters and a striking cast iron radiator.
There's a handy spare WC in the hallway, before you come to the substantially extended rear kitchen/diner, totalling over 400 square feet and an undoubted highlight.
Restored original flooring continues in here, flowing below a pair of huge skylights and past a statement tiled wall in the dining area. Your kitchen's neatly marked out by a chef's island clad in dramatic marble style from top to bottom.
The marble theme continues across the surrounding countertops, complementing deep grey cabinetry, jet black fixtures and a full suite of integrated appliances. A rear wall of sleek Crittall doors and floor to ceiling windows let still more natural light flood in, framing views of your garden.
Out here, everything is equally immaculate, with a stretch of Trulawn framed by spotless white walls and dark timber fencing, and a bespoke seating area at the end.
Back inside, and the vintage timber floorboards flow on throughout all three first floor bedrooms, similarly stylish but distinct in character. The master to the front is finished in tranquil sage green, with bistro shutters and original overhead mouldings.
Next door there's a substantial single, ideal as a nursery, home office or even a luxurious dressing room, while to the rear there's another double with a garden view. Completing the storey, your family bathroom is a masterpiece in staggered vertical letterbox tilework, terrazzo floor tiles and standout brass fittings including a rainfall shower over the tub.
Upstairs again, and your loft suite is softly carpeted in grey, with complementary timber panelling down one side, all sat dual aspect between twin skylights and a Juliet balcony. Your en suite is another boutique masterpiece, with floor to ceiling window and tilework, graphite fittings and another rainfall shower.
