IF YOU LIVED HERE…
Handsome brickwork, ornate detailing, and a striking bay window give the home its distinctive Victorian presence. A pastel-toned entrance, framed by an arched porch and decorative corbels, leads to the front door, while a tiled pathway completes the elegant approach.

Inside, the hallway features rich wooden flooring, pristine walls, and lofty ceilings, softened by daylight from the glazed door. The front reception blends period character with modern elegance, where a grand fireplace and bespoke shelving sit against deep tones. At the rear, another reception offers versatility, with a decorative fireplace and generous sash window creating a warm, inviting atmosphere.

The kitchen/diner is flooded with light from a bay window and skylight. Herringbone flooring complements the soft hues and bespoke cabinetry, while a central island anchors the space. The adjoining dining area is ideal for family life or entertaining. Beyond, the garden (designed by Butler & Parker, recent Chelsea Flower Show award winners) is a leafy retreat with paved terraces, lawn, and lush planting, perfect for outdoor dining or relaxing in greenery.

Upstairs, the main bedroom combines generous proportions with refined detailing, its bay window drawing in morning light. Two further bedrooms share this floor, each bright and restful, one with a cast-iron fireplace and both with leafy outlooks. The bathroom, tiled in warm stone, includes a bath with overhead shower. The top floor provides a self-contained bedroom with en suite, enjoying daylight from skylights and a wide window. Spacious yet calming, it feels like a private retreat, ideal for guests or a luxurious main suite.

You really are in the heart of the action here… Just a few minutes away, 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 to independent book shop Phlox.

Around the Leyton Midland Road arches, there are some brilliant new choices, including the much lauded smokehouse Burnt and London Calling. Closer to home, you’ve got some great bars around the Grove Green Road, including the Filly Brook, Heathcote & Star and the Northcote Arms. Head north towards Leytonstone High Road for even more great options like FORNO, Homies on Donkeys, Mum Likes Thai Food, and Panda dim sum.

WHAT ELSE?
- Leytonstone tube station is a short walk to get you into central London via the Central Line. Or hop on to the Overground at Leytonstone High Road for the Gospel Oak to Barking line, even closer.
- We’re barely even scratching the surface with the local amenities. Forest Gate’s Winchelsea Road is a short hop on foot and has an excellent selection of drinking and dining spots, including Pretty Decent Beer, The Wanstead Kitchen, Joyau Wine and Wild Goose Bakery.
