3 bed Flat For Sale £585,000
Detailed Description
This gorgeous three-bedroom Victorian apartment exemplifies pared-back elegance, where rich colours to the recently re-plastered walls complement the timber floors and exquisite tiling found throughout.
The interior has been improved in the last two years including a full-rewire with new power sockets, light fixtures and fuse box; replacement windows and Velux skylights; painted, sealed and refurbished sashes; and repainted doors. The bathroom and cloakroom were also refurbished and redecorated in 2019, including fully concealing the pipework for a sleeker look.
You'll find this fantastic apartment well set back from the road behind a tall hedge arching over the pretty iron gate, from where a path leads to a porch opening into a communal lobby, both with matching chequered tiles.
From here you step into the apartment's entrance hall, where stairs rise to the main accommodation that unfolds along a split-level landing with plenty of storage.
A bright cloakroom with a new washbasin and Victorian-style loo is cheerfully decorated with hexagonal tiling, light-green wood panelling and Cole & Son wallpaper. Next are the two bedrooms in the rear section: A large single (or home office) overlooking the side of the property, and, at the end of the landing, a primary double with deep-green walls contrasting with a white ceiling and skirting.
Heading towards the front of the building on the upper level, you come to a generous dining kitchen fitted with solid wood Shaker-style floor and wall cupboards separated by a metro-tiled splashback. A cooker with a stainless-steel gas hob and extractor hood are included, and there are spaces for a big fridge-freezer, dishwasher and washing machine. Home bakers and cooks will love the huge pantry cupboard in the corner and, although there's room for a breakfast table, you could dine in the living room to allow the star-pattern floor tiles to shine.
Take the next door along into the living room, where a beautiful sash bay window brightens the warm, Farrow and Ball Inchyra Blue hue to the walls, creating a cosy and inviting atmosphere assisted by bespoke alcove bookshelves.
The main bathroom is screened by a frosted sash window and features Moroccan encaustic cement floor tiles. The new white suite includes a Victorian-style bath; a washbasin and a close coupled loo, paired with white metro tiling and complemented by an iron-radiator with chrome towel rail.
White-painted stairs lead to a converted loft, where a Velux-lit galleried landing with lots of storage comes as a pleasant surprise. Up here, the fabulous double bedroom is a delightful and very private retreat with a blind-fitted double-glazed window and cast iron-style radiator.
Out of the front door and down the side of the property leads to a large garden that's fully enclosed by timber fencing. Facing south-east, it's bright throughout the day, with the sun hitting the lilac tree in the evening.
Neatly tucked away in the far corners, you'll find a greenhouse and covered storage or seating area. The rest of the garden is currently a blank canvas, offering fantastic potential to create a highly productive kitchen-garden, wildlife haven, or a landscaped urban escape of your own design.
A note from the owners
'We love the sheer amount of space - it feels like living in a house. There's more storage than we could ever need, and having a garden is a real plus.'
The neighbourhood
Just around the corner from two great neighbourhood watering holes - the Heathcote & Star pub and Fillybrook craft beer hall - Hainault Road's location is equally suited for a wander into the bustle of High Road Leytonstone or down to lovely Leyton Village on Francis Road.
Between the two, you'll find plenty of local favourites to explore, including authentic Thai cooking at The North Star, locally-brewed coffee at Perky Blenders, remarkable wines at Yardarm and excellent pastries at both Wild Goose Bakery and Albert & Francis. Or try some of the current owners' favourite spots: Italian restaurant Mora, Michael's fish & chip shop just down the road, and Masala India.
Within walking distance are Walthamstow Village and Wanstead Flats (25mins), the Olympic Park (40mins), and Hollow Pond (about a mile) from where Epping Forest offers a quick London escape to over 2,400 hectares of green open space and woodland.
Local schools include the Ofsted-rated 'Good' Gwyn Jones Primary, Norlington School & 6th Form for Boys, and Connaught School for Girls - all less than 10 minutes by foot. Excel Kids day nursery is just a few doors down.
Commuting is swift, with Leyton Midland Road Overground just 5 minutes by foot and offering a handy connection to the Victoria Line at Blackhorse Road. Leytonstone tube is a 10-12-minute walk, from where the Central Line whizzes into the City and West End, with a quick change at Stratford to the Jubilee line for Canary Wharf, the South Bank and Westminster.
