Description

This bright and spacious two-double bedroom apartment sits on the second floor of a well maintained development, all enviably located in the much sough-after Upper Leytonstone neighbourhood. This means it has access to excellent transport links, green spaces and top class amenities. As well as resident-only parking, communal heating and hot water is provided within the building. And just as the building is warm in a literal sense, so is the feeling of the friendly community - one of the reasons we love E11 so much. IF YOU LIVED HERE… With around 520 square feet of internal space, this is a home you can really enjoying settling into and adding elements of your own personality when you’re ready. Due to the generous window and soft colour palette, the reception room has warm and sunny ambiance. The second floor positioning not only provides skyline views, but also adds a touch of energy efficiency. On top of that, communal heating and hot water is provided within the cost, so you’ve no gas bill to pay and no boiler to maintain. There’s plenty of room for working or socialising, and the separate kitchen will be extra convenient, especially with its breakfast bar. The bedrooms are both spacious with more neutral decor, while the contemporary bathroom has a smart over-tub shower. Just beyond your 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? Meanwhile, around the Leyton Midland Road arches, you’ve got some brilliant choices, including the much lauded smokehouse Burnt (‘dreamy’ according to the Guardian), as well as the ever-popular Gravity Well Taproom. A similar distance away, the Grove Green Road area has been buzzing with activity for a few years and is now a hangout in its own right. The Filly Brook, Heathcote & Star and the brilliantly eclectic Northcote Arms there and sure to become faves. Leytonstone station is around 10 minutes on foot to give you access to the Central Line. You’ve got a good selection of bus routes nearby too. WHAT ELSE? - As well as being close to Leytonstone tube for the Central line, Leyton Midland Road is a similar distance for the Gospel Oak to Barkingside line - handy if you want to nip to the Essex seaside. - 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. - You’ll enjoy having the greenery of Abbotts Park so nearby, but you’re also only a stroll from the glorious Hollow Ponds at the tip of Epping Forest.

"Leytonstone is a unique, eclectic area, home to great gastro pubs like Leytonstone Tavern and The Red Lion, as well as bistro cafés like The Wild Goose Bakery and Back to Ours. There’s also the open green space of Wanstead Flats, a serene getaway from the hustle and bustle of urban life. The area is rich in history, with interesting and beautiful Grade II listed buildings such as St John’s Baptist Church (built in 1832) and Leytonstone House, the 18th-century home of Sir Edward Buxton, a notable MP and conservationist. There’s also St Andrew’s Church, built between 1886 and 1893 as a memorial to local philanthropist William Cotton. Leytonstone Library is a great place to visit if you’re feeling studious, and Leytonstone Leisure Centre is close by for the more active-minded. Wanstead Park, in the former grounds of Wanstead House, features walking trails, cycle paths, and several ornamental lakes — a fantastic place to relax, exercise, and soak up some local history. With an array of buses and the nearby Central Line underground station, you can be in the City and surrounding areas in just minutes."   JOSEPH EARNSHAW E11 BRANCH MANAGER
