Description

This perfectly formed one-bedroom apartment enjoys a fantastic location in Leyton, moments from the buzz of Francis Road, but still in a residential spot, with plenty of greenery a short hop away, too. Highlights on the inside the ground floor home include the bright and spacious reception room, dine-in kitchen and cellar, while on the outside you’ve got a private south-facing garden. Leytonstone tube is around 16 minutes away on foot, so nipping into the City or West End is easy, while Leyton Midland Road is even nearer for the Overground. IF YOU LIVED HERE… Behind that charming bay frontage, you’ll find 537 square foot of space (not including the cellar) which was fully renovated as recently as 2023. As well as re-wiring, re-plumbing and a new boiler, there are more noticeable updates you’ll appreciate, such as the immaculate decor, bespoke storage and furniture - it’s all ready for you to enjoy. Your reception room has been tastefully decorated, with lovely features like the fire surround, custom carpentry and column radiator, all bathed in light from the generously-sized bay windows. The bedroom is a good size with more spotless decor and bespoke shelving. The dine-in kitchen is charming and characterful but also smart and practical, much like the bathroom, where you’ll find glossy tiling, sleek fittings and a walk-in shower. Outside, you’ll find your own private section of the south-facing rear garden - perfect for catching rays. Just a few minutes beyond your front door, you’ll come across the part-pedestrianised Francis Road, which is now recognised across the capital as a hub thanks to its eclectic mix of eateries and stores, ranging from upmarket deli Yardarm and independent book shop Phlox, to top rated deli Marmelo Kitchen and independent store Dreamhouse records. In the other direction, around the Leyton Midland Road arches, you’ve got some brilliant new choices, including the much lauded smokehouse Burnt, as well as Gravity Well Taproom. A similar distance, you’ve got some great bars around the Grove Green Road, including the Filly Brook, Heathcote & Star and the Northcote Arms. You really are in the heart of the action here. Head south-west (or hop on the bus if you’re in a hurry) 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. WHAT ELSE? - Leytonstone tube station is around 16 minutes on foot to get you into central London via the Central Line. Or hop on to the Overground at Leyton Midland Road for the Gospel Oak to Barking line, a short nine minute walk away. -As mentioned, there are some excellent pubs and bars nearby, but the Northcote Arms is sure to be a favourite with its eclectic events calendar and great food and drink menu. Look out for the fortnightly Music Bingo night. - Even if you’re not a follower of footballer, it’s worth checking out the nearby Leyton Orient, who encourage people of all ages to come along to take in the sights and sounds of a game.

"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?"   KENAN KRKIC E10 SENIOR SALES ADVISOR
