"I absolutely adore this house! It's been lovingly restored, rewired, replumbed and renovated by me! This big bright airy house is full of period features and charm and it's ready to move in to but also has room to add value if you'd like to add a big fourth bedroom and a bathroom in the full height loft. It's in the most amazing spot, a 5 minute walk to Francis Road with fabulous cafes, shops, pilates studios and hairdressers. It's also so close to Leyton tube which is so helpful for getting around on the central line. A short bus ride to the Olympic Park, Westfield Stratford and Walthamstow Village. The house has been featured in lots of advertising campaigns, music videos and Architectural Digest and The Times Magazine. I have felt nothing but pure joy living here and I hope the buyer will love it as much as I do!"
