If you lived here...

Behind that handsome frontage, stretched out across the first floor, you’ll find 857 square foot of smartly designed space. The decor is fresh, and you’ll love how the contemporary updates sit alongside the original features.

At the front you have your bright and spacious reception room, where features include the striking fireplace surround, smart parquet flooring, column radiator and inky blue timber panelling. Towards the rear, your kitchen is sleek and stylish, with shaker-style units, integrated appliances and marble-esque splashbacks. The bathroom is just as contemporary, with the perfect sprinkling of tradition courtesy of the washstand basin and vintage-style towel rail, while both bedrooms have been spotlessly decorated, with soft carpeting underfoot.

You’ll love the fact that you have your own detached garage at the rear - a rarity for such a central location. As for greenery, you’ll be pleased to discover that you’re only a short stroll from Jack Cornwell Park. In that same area, you’ll find the Leyton Midland Road arches where, as well as the station, you’ve got some brilliant food/drink options, including the much lauded smokehouse Burnt, Gravity Well Taproom, Bamboo Mat, Perky Blenders, Leyton Calling and Swirl. Even closer to home, you’ll find the part-pedestrianised Francis Road, which is now recognised across the capital as a hub thanks to its eclectic mix of eateries and stores. There’s loads to choose from there, but how about starting with wine bar Yardarm or independent book store Phlox?

Jump on a bus for a few stops and you’ll in find yourself in the iconic Olympic Park, and just beyond that, Westfield Stratford. Nearby there’s also East Bank, a unique collaboration between world-leading universities, arts and culture institutions, including Sadler’s Wells, BBC and V&A.

A word from the expert...

"Leyton is a well-hidden gem that people haven’t yet fully explored. Francis Road is one of area’s most celebrated spots and it never disappoints. It’s buzzing with cafés, delis, shops and restaurants — the perfect afternoon or weekend destination.
The Olympic Park is just around the corner, great for all the amazing concerts, sporting events and festivals that are held there all year round.
Getting into central London couldn’t be any easier, with Leyton Midland overground station as well as the Central underground line both right on the doorstep.
And did I mention that Jubilee Park, with its café, outdoor gym and pirate-themed playground, is perfect for a relaxing Sunday walk?"
