2 bedroom ground floor maisonette

Guide Price £475,000 - £500,000. This beautifully presented ground floor, two bedroom Abrahams flat lies in the heart of Leyton village, a welcoming community with transport links and amenities on-hand. With a private rear garden and a range of features - including stunning oak flooring - it’s the perfect property for those seeking a sophisticated suburban home.

Entering the property through your private entrance, you’ll be surprised at the size ofthe hallway, which has been left neutral with the oak wood flooring taking centre-stage. The first door to your right leads to your good-sized reception room – the perfect place to start your tour…

The first thing you notice here is the abundance of natural light, quickly followed by its source – a large bay window looking out onto the street. The light painted walls and warm wooden flooring make the most of the airy atmosphere, while the black cast-ion style feature fireplace brings the space together with a touch of classic charm. The bay recess would make a lovely seating area, or a small indoor jungle if you like an organic touch indoors, and there’s plenty of room for your sofa or suite, a coffee table and your home entertainments. Either side of the chimney breast you have a handy recess which could easily be fitted with storage, shelving or display cases to suit your personal needs.

The next door along, also to your right, is bedroom one, an equally good size room – perfect for your cosy double bed and all your storage requirements, with the current owner using the space to house two double wardrobes and a large chest of drawers. The light eggshell blue walls and pale beige carpet offer a ready-to-move-into space, which could easily be personalised with your own artworks, bedding and perhaps a rug in your chosen colour accent. Tidy and bright, the room overlooks the rear garden and is a gorgeous spot to relax and unwind in after a busy day.

Back in the hallway and to your left before you enter the kitchen/diner up ahead, you’ll note a very useful storage cupboard, which is large enough to accommodate for your cleaning equipment, spare bedding… well, whatever you need it for!

The characteristic oak flooring continues through into the spacious kitchen/diner, offering a well-planned complement to the matching oak worktops. The natural wood elements are brightened and brought to life by the stylish cream base and wall units, and a large butler’s sink, while the pale blue walls add a little touch of colour to create a harmonious finish to this gorgeous space. The area by the window is the ideal spot for a dining table, and there’s room enough to entertain family or friends should you wish to show off your new flat to your favourite people.

Straight ahead, across the kitchen from its hallway entrance, lies the second bedroom in this property, is filled with plenty of natural light and decorated in the same charming blue with engineered wooden floor. This would make a cosy kid’s room or nursery, a handy guest room a fantastic home office depending on your situation and lifestyle needs – or with a sofa bed and desk, you could make it a multi-purpose space.

The next room, also leading from the kitchen, is your smart, modern bathroom – which you enter through your small side entrance lobby (more on that soon)… Well-designed and super-stylish, the three piece white suite of WC, sink and bath (with overhead shower and screen) works wonderfully with the grey cupboard and painted accents, black floor tiles and large subway tiles above the bath. A small but serviceable space that is clean, tidy and in great condition.

Stepping out of the bathroom, take a left into the small lobby area separating it from the kitchen, and you’ll see a half-glazed external door which takes you to your 21ft private rear garden – the ideal retreat on finer days. Leading first into your side return, follow the path up and you’ll find yourself on a small patio area, perfect for a table and chairs for lunch al fresco or a sundowner on a summer’s evening. The garden then climbs up a level, with a couple of small sets of steps running alongside the shrubbery borders and leading to a useful shed at the very top of the space.

Along with its inherent charm, this two bedroom flat comes with gas central heating and double glazing throughout, and the current owner will be leaving the fitted blinds in both the reception room and main bedroom.

In terms of location, this property is situated in the popular ‘Leyton village’ area, giving you easy access to neighbouring Leytonstone with all its amenities plus a range of popular pubs, bars and restaurants such as Marmelo Kitchen, Strange Brew, The Northcote and the Heathcote & Star. For getting around, the area is served by many bus routes and just a 15 minute walk to Leyton Midland Road and High Road Overground stations, plus Leytonstone Underground too, and there’s a nearby nursery and primary school.

For lovers of the outdoors, buying this two bedroom property would put you close to both Leyton Flats and Wanstead Flats, along with Hackney Marshes just a little further afield.
