2 bed Flat For Sale £450,000
A beautifully presented two bedroom Abrahams flat on the peaceful Richmond Road.
Stretching to 740 square feet, and with a recently renewed lease, this property is the perfect first home. To the front of the first floor is the reception room. It’s wonderfully light, thanks to the large sash windows, which include a bay. This serves to highlight the high ceiling with its original coving, beautiful stripped wood flooring and the feature fireplace. It’s a room easily able to accommodate both dining and relaxing, making it eminently practical.
Directly behind the reception room, off the landing (where you’ll find the drop down ladder for loft access), sits the main bedroom. A solid double, it offers views to the rear, an has ample space for free standing storage.
The mid-point kitchen is kitted out with modern fitted units and work surfaces, and there is space here for a table – the ideal spot to enjoy that morning cup of coffee whilst deciding on the day’s agenda.
At the rear of the property are the second bedroom and the bathroom. The former is a generous single, and would in our view make a fabulous home office, whilst the latter has a three piece Villeroy & Boch suite, including a shower over the tub.
Outside there is a private garden accessed via internal stairs. It has mature border planting a two decked areas for al fresco relaxation.
Living Here...
This delightful flat enjoys the perfect location, whether for work or leisure. The many pubs, eateries and other independent businesses on Francis Road and the High Road itself are a short stroll away and offer the perfect excuse (if an excuse is needed!) to indulge in some great food and wine. Why not nip in to Yardarm for a bottle of wine for that night in, or maybe pop into the restaurant next door or Marmelo for a meal. If you'd prefer, hop on the bus or tube to Westfield, where you can hit a shop or two (or more!), catch a film at the cinema, or take the plunge in the Olympic Pool. Want to go further afield? The excellent local transport links (both Leyton and Leytonstone Central Line stations, plus Leytonstone High Road Overground station) mean you are just a short journey from central London. So whatever you are planning, be it fun or work, we think this really could be the flat for you...
In This Area...
Leytonstone, or Leyton-St-One as my friend calls it when she’s trying to sound posh, is the birth place and former home of Alfred Hitchcock. It gets its name, or the stone bit at least, from the Highstone mile marker which stands on Hollybush Hill. Bordering Walthamstow, Wanstead, Epping Forest, Leyton and Stratford, Leytonstone has a lot going on. If you are a fan of Thai food, wander down the High Road to Singburi - the Pad Talay is all kinds of amazing. The Northcote Arms, which is technically in Leyton, is a great pub with a real community feel, or on the High Road there’s The Birds (spot the Hitchcock link?) or The North Star, tucked away in Bushwood. And If you want amazing views of the City, go on a tower tour at St John the Baptist Church. The tours don’t run all year around, so you’d need to keep an eye on their website for dates, but it’s well worth doing. The views are simply spectacular, especially at sunset with the lights of the City set against the darkening sky.
In The Owners Words...
"I have lived in my lovely home for more than 20 years. People always comment on the feel of my home, it’s both spacious and light and it's also very comfortable and cosy. Shops are on my doorstep and it is a short walk to either Leyton or Leytonstone tube. The garden has been a place of sanctuary and a wonderful space to entertain family and friends. There is lots of storage space including a loft, very useful for extra storage."
