If you lived here...

If you don’t already know this part of East London, you’ll quickly see why it’s so well loved — think leafy streets, a warm neighbourhood feel, and a cosy position nestled between the buzz of Leytonstone and the calm of Epping Forest.

At home, your reception room is bright and inviting, with considered contrast decor, soft carpeting, generous windows, and charming period features like the fireplace surround and tiled hearth.

At the rear, the dine-in kitchen is smart and contemporary, with plenty of storage and integrated appliances. The bathroom blends modern convenience with classic character, featuring both a clawfoot tub and a walk-in shower.

Upstairs, both bedrooms are good-sized doubles, each with a polished finish — the perfect retreat at the end of the day.

As for the location, you’re perfectly positioned to enjoy the eclectic spots found around the nearby Grove Green Road hub, including the Filly Brook, Heathcote & Star and the Northcote Arms - one of our faves. Or foodie highlights off the Leytonstone High Road include hidden gem Panda dim sum and sensational taqueria Homies on Donkeys, which won BBC2’s Britain’s Top Takeaway. But there’s plenty more to explore, from Leyton’s Francis Road to Forest Gate’s Winchelsea Road.

Leytonstone tube is only eight minutes away, ensuring you can easily nip to central London on the Central line.

What else?
- As well as being a few minutes to Leytonstone tube for the Central line, Leyton Midland Road station is slightly further in the other direction for the Suffragette line - handy if you want to nip to the Essex seaside or Hampstead Heath.
- Despite the thriving amenities, there’s a surprising amount of green space nearby. For instance, head south-east via the Bushwood area - renowned for its wide, tree-lined streets of grand Victorian and Edwardian homes - and you’ll find the Wanstead Flats, once the favoured hunting ground of Henry VIII.
- Hop on a bus for a few stops and you’ll in find yourself in the iconic Olympic Park, and just beyond that, Westfield Stratford, which won’t need an introduction. 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 owner...

"We’ve absolutely loved living here. This flat has been the perfect first home — the rooms are big, and the light that floods in makes it feel so warm and uplifting, even on grey London days.

It’s tucked away on a quiet street, but you’re only a short walk from Leytonstone tube, so getting into the city is super quick. We’ve spent countless weekends wandering Epping Forest, and some of our favourite pubs, restaurants, and coffee spots are just around the corner — there’s such a good local vibe.

The living room has been our little cosy hub for nights in, and there’s plenty of space to host friends too. It’s a really comfortable, easy place to live, and we’ve made so many good memories here. We’ll miss it a lot — but we know the next owners will love it just as much as we have."
