3 bed flat for sale

Kings Close, Russell Court E10

A spacious and substantial two bedroom apartment, split over the first two floors on a modern development just off Jack Cornwell Park and moments from Leyton Midland Road station. Some modernisation will be required here and there, but the size and fundamentals are strong.

As well as gardens front and back, you have more than 850 square feet arranged across two storeys, mostly finished in simple white with some works required to the kitchen and bathroom. Both gardens are substantially sized, and you're on the end of the development with side access.

Leyton Midland Road overground station, for the recently renamed Suffragette line, is less than a half mile on foot, also featuring a choice of bars and cafes. You're also surrounded by greenery, with three parks just moments away, and Epping Forest within walking distance.
Your new home


A lengthy front garden leads up to your door, setting you back nicely from the road. There's a lush lawn waiting here, after a bit of trimming.

Inside and first on your right is a handy, spare WC. Stairs rise to the right and your kitchen is further down on the right.

In here you have white tilework and timber cabinets, there's work to do, but it's up to you if you just tidy things up as they are or take the opportunity to create your dream kitchen from scratch.

To the rear your lounge comes in at an impressive 180 square feet, with a patio door and long bank of windows to the rear, overlooking your second garden. Walls are simple and white to make the most of the natural light. Hardwearing chocolate carpet runs underfoot.

Step out into the rear garden and its even larger than your front, over forty five feet deep, a generous length of lawn and timber fencing down one side, with side access. Its all overseen by mature trees and you have a handy shed at the end.

Once again, some light landscaping here will be highly rewarding.

Inside and upstairs, where your three double bedrooms range from 90 to 130 square feet, all finished in simple, pristine white walls and plush brown carpet underfoot. The larger two also both feature integrated storage.

Finally your family bathroom features large format, marbled tilework from tub to ceiling. Once again there's work to do in here, but once again you can simply update what's already in place or implement your own dream vision.
Your new neighbourhood

Leyton Midland Road overground is around half a mile on foot, for trains from Gospel Oak to Barking Riverside. As well as a direct line to the Thames you can ride two stops to Blackhorse Road and a quick swap to the Victoria line.

Alternatively, Leyton tube station is around a twenty minute walk for the Central line, and speedy connections to the City and West End.

Keeping things local, both Francis Road and Leyton High Road are around a half mile away on foot. Between them, these local landmarks are home to a generous range of cafes, bars, restaurants and gastropubs. Try Yardarm on Francis Road, and the Leyton Engineer on the High Road.

Or, explore under the arches at Leyton Midland Road station for Gravity Well Taproom and Burnt Smokehouse. Well worth a visit even if you're not getting on a train.

Finally, current or prospective parents will be pleased to find twenty five primary and secondary schools all less than a mile away on foot. Riverly, Willowbrook and Newport Primaries are all especially close and all received a rating of 'Outstanding' at their last Ofsted inspection.

A well located, generously proportioned three bedroom family maisonette. Work is needed here and there but both location and fundamentals are strong, with plenty of square footage inside and out. An excellent find.
