1 bed Flat For Sale £325,000
Detailed Description
This ground-floor apartment in Upper Leytonstone is the perfect blank canvas for someone to test their interior design skills and talent for landscaping in the extensive rear garden.
Featuring high ceilings and original Victorian coving, floorboards, skirtings and picture rails, the property's period charm could form the perfect backdrop for a completely bespoke, high-end contemporary residence. With central heating and a fully functional bathroom and kitchen already installed, you can move in right away and continue renovations in your own time.
The apartment sits well back from the street within a double-front detached house with a full-height bay window and an arched front entrance. Follow the paved path into a shared lobby that opens into your private entrance hall.
Turn left into an elegant living room with ornate ceiling rose and coving complemented by dark wood floorboards with matching skirting boards and picture rail. These attractive original features are further enhanced by a sweeping canted sash bay window overlooking the front garden, creating a cheerful and social space for relaxing and entertaining.
Return to the hall, locating a spot-lit bathroom opposite the front door. Here, tiling sympathetic to the property's heritage combines with a wood-panelled bath with overhead shower, chrome heated towel rail, pedestal basin and close-coupled loo.
Overlooking the garden, the open-plan dining kitchen has low-maintenance laminate flooring to the seating area, where there is room for a good-size table and chairs. Tiles to the kitchen floor and splashback pair with Cream Shaker-style cabinets and a wood-effect worktop, with appliances including an integrated oven and gas hob with extractor. There's also space for two appliances beneath the counter, while a big window illuminates the stainless-steel sink with mixer tap.
Adjacent to the kitchen is a bright double bedroom with a coved high ceiling and a view over the garden - accessed via a part-glazed, barn-style door from the kitchen.
Outside, the garden begins from a raised terrace where steps lead down onto a lawn pleasantly shaded by trees and enclosed by timber fencing and mature shrubs. The paved patio houses a shed, while a gate provides access from the back.
In the neighbourhood
Kingswood Road occupies a convenient spot in Upper Leytonstone, about six minutes' walk from Leytonstone Underground station (Central Line - 24 hours at weekends) and the town centre, where you'll find such local favourites on the High Road as The Red Lion pub, Wild Goose Bakery, Panda Dim Sum, Yard Sale Pizza and plenty more besides.
Some of the wonderful open green spaces within walking distance include Leyton Flats (c.10mins) or Henry Reynolds Gardens, with Wanstead Flats and Park extending beyond.
Alternatively, hop onto the A12 and head down to Stratford for shopping and to enjoy sporting events and concerts at the London Stadium; continue to Canary Warf; or take the A11 into the heart of the City.
