If you lived here...

You'll be welcoming friends and family into your charming 125 square foot lounge. It's a characterful space that, like much of the rest of the apartment, takes its lead from the lovingly tended greenery and verdant vista of the entrance; there's a gorgeous sense of bringing the outside in here ñ a quality you're bound to wish to conserve. Aside from the leafy flourishes the space counts original timber floorboards, a vintage ebony fireplace, dining space and wealth of storage space among its many charms.

Next door your kitchen comes dressed in gleaming white metro tiles, contrasting black marbled work surfaces, smoke grey walls and on trend open shelving. The bathroom's a sparkling white affair with a traditional white suite and heated towel rail, while lastly your bedroom's a dual aspect and generous 120 square foot double enjoying pristine white walls, more handsome wooden floorboards and a home working space.

You're wonderfully located for the wild, wide open green space of Leyton Flats. Just seven minutes from your front door, it's perfect for morning jogs and evening strolls. Just a little further are the tranquil blue waters of Hollow Ponds (made famous by local boy Damon Albarn), where you can hire a row boat and explore in the company of friendly ducks, be sure to buy some bird food from the kiosk. Another famous son lends his name to the nearby Sir Alfred Hitchock Hotel, the bar here is the perfect place to watch the sun go down over the forest.

What else?

- You're handily placed for sourcing last minute supplies for the gatherings you're all set to host with a local shop just up the road and a huge twenty four hour Tesco supermarket just five minutes away on foot.
- A long lease means you'll have no renewal worries.

A word from the owner...

"My time living at Chessington Mansions over the last five years have been a joy. With good sized windows on all sides, the flat gets a huge amount of natural light throughout the day. It's located at the back of the building on the top floor, facing a quiet residential culdasac, with lots of greenery and no traffic. In the distance you get a great view of central London. The flat has some lovely features, like a working fireplace and original hardwood floors. The sense of community in the building is also really incredible - we have a whatsapp group to keep in touch and support each other. It's a short walk to the Hollow Ponds and Epping Forest on one side and the high street on the other that has loads of lovely restaurants, bakeries and pubs. I have a lot of love for this place, you'll be really happy here!"
