A well-maintained and stylish three bedroom terrace house for sale in the sought after area of Leytonstone. With well considered and executed design features inside and out, there are 3 bedrooms, a fantastic living/dining area open to a high quality well-planned kitchen, a sophisticated bathroom and a smart low-maintenance garden.
Standing out with its art deco inspired architecture, this property makes a real statement as you approach. Set on a quiet, limited-access street which benefits from residents’ only parking, the property has the unusual benefits of being in a peaceful neighbourhood while still having easy access to all of the fantastic local amenities offered by Leytonstone.
The white rendered façade has an eye-catching stepped roofline, a double-height bay window to one side and an unusual box bay window which integrates into the roof of the porch. There’s a low-maintenance front garden - with the potential to be transformed into a welcoming cottage garden - leading to the glazed porch.
The fully-glazed porch provides a useful vestibule for the storage of outdoor coats and boots and functions well to isolate the interior of the property from the delights of the British weather. Through another glazed door, you’ll find yourself in the bright and airy hallway, where you’ll note additional space for shoes and coats, as well as a useful built-in understairs cupboard. Decoration is fresh and modern with white walls and paintwork, complemented by stripped pine floorboards which extend throughout the whole of the property’s ground floor. There’s also a central heating radiator to ensure a warm welcome home.
Straight ahead is the door which leads to the fabulous L-shaped open plan living area. The first area you encounter is the cleverly designed kitchen which, with its u-shaped and peninsular layout, succeeds brilliantly in being a separate working space – while still feeling like an integrated part of the overall design of this wonderful family living area. There are modern low-profile, high quality white base and wall units with solid timber worksurfaces, and below the wall cabinets, integrated task lighting enhances the already abundant natural light from the large window which looks out to the rear garden. There’s additional storage space provided by built-in cupboards under the stairs which have been imaginatively designed to feel like an integral part of the kitchen. There’s an integrated oven and an inset glass panel hob, with tiled backsplashes extending behind the sink and the wall beyond. The peninsula provides lots of additional storage and workspace making this a very practical, functional and stylish kitchen.
From the kitchen, we move to the spacious dining area, which is easily large enough for a family-sized dining table as well as some additional storage or display furniture. Large sliding patio doors lead out to the rear garden, which we’ll explore later. As is the case with the rest of the living space, decoration is simple with white painted walls and woodwork – a neutral backdrop that you can personalise in no time at all.
The final area of this open plan family space is the lounge, which opens from the dining area. Although open to the dining area, a small section of the original wall has been left in place to provide definition for the space, ensuring that there are three distinct zones. The lounge is spacious enough to accommodate a large settee, a comfortable armchair, an entertainment unit and additional storage such as bookshelves. The highlight of this space is the large bay window which looks out to the front garden and is framed by its own squared arch. Bay windows always make great focal points, particularly when occupied by a piece of statement furniture which can emphasise your own stylish design ideas. A modern chaise longue or a classic Eames chair might be the ideal choices in this case, which would perfectly highlight the architectural style of the property. The simple decorating choices leave scope for some of your own design touches too, such as your favourite art work, lavish indoor plants and colourful accent rugs.
Next, we’ll head back through the dining area and out through the patio doors to the rear garden. This is a lovely private and secure space enclosed with high quality fencing and enhanced by mature shrubs and trees. There’s a beautifully maintained decked seating area immediately beyond the patio doors with an extension of this decking forming a path to one side of the garden which leads to a gate providing rear access to the property. A lovely space ideal for enjoying relaxing time with family and friends.
We’ll return inside and to the hallway now and take the stairs up to the first floor. The staircase and landing area follow the simple decorative theme of the rest of the property and also benefit from a luxurious deep pile, dark grey carpet which offers a cosy, more intimate feel to the first floor.
The first door on the right takes you into the cleverly designed and stylish bathroom, which really does make full use of the space available. There’s a bathtub with shower above and a glazed shower screen, plus a bespoke bulkhead in front of the large window, which contains the cistern for the WC and the plumbing for the basin. The bulkhead functions as an extension of the windowsill, on top of which sits the stylish ceramic wash hand basin – a clever piece of design which is both elegant and practical. The low flush WC sits in front of the bulkhead, and white bevelled tiles provide a full height backsplash for the shower and extend below the windowsill and around the bulkhead in an elegant running bond pattern. The remaining wall area is finished in a rich, contrasting slate blue, and the design is completed with a mirrored wall cabinet and a combined towel rail and radiator in chrome.
The next room along the landing is bedroom two which looks out onto the rear garden. This is a bright double room benefitting from a large set of wardrobes which will be staying for the new owner. The wardrobe doors have been finished in a shade of sage green to match the wall finish in the room – a clever way of enhancing the sense of space. The room is spacious enough for a cosy double bed, bedside cabinets and additional storage furniture depending on your needs. There’s a large radiator under the window and a warm tone fawn coloured carpet to finish things off.
Back to the landing and the next room, on your right, is bedroom one. As you enter the room, note the original panelled door, one of several in the property. With its bay window overlooking the front garden, this is a bright and spacious feeling room, enhanced by the light coloured walls and complemented by the dark grey carpet, continued from the landing. Once again, there’s room for a large double bed and associated furniture and there are bespoke plantation blinds which are a practical modern touch, enhancing the simple design theme.
The final room on this floor is bedroom three. This is a single room, which would work well as a nursery, hobby room or study. The unusual shape of the bay window in this room would make the ideal location for a built-in desk, making best use of the space and allowing a view out to the front garden and beyond. Walls are decorated in a warm cappuccino colour and there’s a large radiator for those colder months.
The house is located on a quiet residential street with no through traffic which is also a designated school zone, meaning that no vehicles are allowed to drive along the street during school picking up and dropping off times, other than residents. The area is well served by public transport, with Leytonstone High Road Overground station being a five minute walk and Leytonstone Central Line underground station around ten minutes. The nearest bus stop is less than a five minute walk and there’s easy access to the A12 which will get you to the North Circular and M11 in just a few minutes. There are good schools close by, including the Ofsted “Outstanding” rated Davies Lane Primary School and the popular Buxton School which caters for ages from nursery through to secondary.
High Road Leytonstone, with its many shops, hospitality businesses and other amenities is close by, including the quirky Mammoth Tap, Leytonstone Tavern and La Rioja London tapas restaurant. The impressive Westfield Centre with its huge array of retail and leisure facilities is also easily accessible. Leytonstone Leisure centre, with its gym, swimming pool and fitness classes is just a ten minute walk.
If you’re keen on outdoor activities, the wonderful Wanstead Flats are literally one minutes’ walk away at the end of the road, with Hackney Marshes, Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and Walthamstow Wetlands nature reserve within easy reach.
Sellers comments….
We have absolutely loved living here over the past five years. The location has been perfect for us with an abundance of nature on our doorstep but also close to main transport links into central London. It really is the best of both worlds.
The area has a strong community vibe with lots of independent shops on the high street. Our favourites include the fantastic wines from Theatre of wine, Back to Ours coffee shop for the best cardamon buns and great coffee and the newly opened wine bar Joyau. The fields nearby are always buzzing with activity including a weekly Park Run every Saturday. The local pubs like the Leytonstone Tavern and the Holly Tree do award winning burgers and Sunday roasts! There's also plenty of activities for parents with babies and toddlers. When we first moved in, we made updates to the entire house including a complete replacement of the central heating system and electrics. This was later followed by a brand new bathroom, kitchen and a low-maintenance back garden which catches the sun nicely. We are sad to be moving on from the house and incredible area as we look to relocate closer to family.
