2 bed Flat For Sale £485,000
This incredibly bright two-bedroom flat, with private garden and studio, occupies the ground floor of a charming Victorian house on Newport Road in Leyton Village. Built in 1890 these characterful terraces were thoughtfully conceived by local developer J G Abraham and Company and are moments from the cafes and restaurants of this much-loved part of the East End.
Following a sympathetic renovation by Cooper Deas Studio, the apartment marries expansive Victorian proportions and original details with considered contemporary materials.
To the front of the apartment, an elegant living room is bathed in light from a large south-facing bay of sash windows. Original ornate cornicing has been preserved and at the heart of the room, a cast-iron fireplace has been introduced with ceramic white tiles at its base. Original flooring has been painted white throughout.
The master bedroom is situated off the hallway and is flooded with light from a large sash window that faces the garden. Here, a minimal pallete of eggshell white has been been employed to maximise a sense of openness.
Beyond the principal bedroom, is a beautifully considered kitchen with oak worktops, classic blue units and brass sanitary-ware.
To the rear is a second bedroom with large sash window to the garden and a family bathroom with a roll-top bath and marble flooring.
Floor-to-ceiling glazed doors open up to a side patio which leads in turn to the private garden. At the end of the garden, is an excellent insulated studio with an electrical connection.
The Abraham family operated as developers from the late 1800s until the middle of the next century. They were responsible for building around 500 properties, mostly maisonettes such as this one, for rental. These apartments are similar in many regards to the equally well-designed warner flats in nearby Walthamstow, each with their own garden and front door.
Newport Road is a short walk from both Leyton Underground station (for Central Line services to Liverpool Street and Bank in under twenty minutes). Leyton Midland Road station is also nearby for London Overground connections.
Nearby, the green open spaces of Jubilee Park lead onto Hackney Marshes. There are a variety of independent cafes, bars, shops and restaurants (Marmello and Yardarm are both noteworthy). Walthamstow Village is an eight-minute cycle away.
Within a short walk or cycle are the green spaces and facilities of Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and the canal-side restaurants, bars and workspaces at Here East. The River Lea is also nearby, as are the Hollow Ponds which lead into Epping Forest, one of the largest expanses of common land in London. The Wanstead Flats also have a number of established walks, with wonderful views of the city.
