2 bed Flat For Sale £475,000
Detailed Description
Located just off Francis Road, this immaculate two-bedroom ground floor Victorian maisonette is surrounded by a vibrant community teeming with restaurants, cafés, and shops - all within a 15-minute radius of Leytonstone tube, Leyton Midland Road and Leytonstone High Road stations.
Inside, beautifully chosen Farrow & Ball colours work together with chrome flush-fitted switches and sockets, column-style radiators, oak laminate flooring and high coved ceilings for a light-filled, welcoming and stylish home.
Numerous improvements and upgrades have been made to the property in the last four years. After a complete rewire in 2016, the current owners have installed a new kitchen and bathroom, radiators, pipework and an a-rated gas boiler; as well as new double-glazed windows. The garden was also completely renovated in March this year.
On arrival, an original tiled path leads to an elegant panelled sage green front door, newly fitted in 2018. Step through into the airy hallway with high ceilings, column-style radiator, oak laminate flooring and a useful storage cupboard.
Turn right into the living room, illuminated by a sash UPVC bay window fitted with full-height hardwood shutters. Here, Farrow & Ball Sulking Room Pink walls complement the reinstated Victorian-style cast iron fireplace with custom tiled mantlepiece, framed by bespoke floating alcove shelves and cabinets.
Behind, you'll find the principal bedroom overlooking the courtyard garden; a calm and relaxing space with Farrow & Ball Green Smoke painted walls that change with the light. Wooden shutters to the large window create a feeling of privacy but make the most of the morning sun, while custom floor-to-ceiling shelves provide plenty of storage.
Continue along the hallway to the bathroom, with flat white metro tiling to the walls, a double-glazed window and a porcelain wood-effect tiled floor. There's a frameless glass-screened bath with overhead rainfall shower and handheld attachment; as well as a good-sized vanity basin with crosshead chrome taps; a heated towell rail and a close-coupled loo.
The bright and spacious dining kitchen lies between the bathroom and the second bedroom. Charcoal grey walls are paired with a white metro tiled splashback and Shaker-style cabinets with wood laminate worksurfaces for a modern, fresh feel.
Integrated appliances include a full-height fridge-freezer, dishwasher, oven, and gas hob. A door leads to the adjacent utility - featuring bespoke inbuilt shelving, a chrome electric towel rail (which can be operated independently of the central heating) and plumbing for a washing machine.
Meanwhile, the sunny second bedroom doubles as a peaceful home office, with olive painted walls, a column-style radiator and a lovely view over the garden through the large window.
Outside, the easy-to-maintain rear south-facing garden has new fencing along its generous 68ft length; and has been thoughtfully landscaped to create distinct areas that capture the sun from early morning to late afternoon. A decked courtyard with storage cupboard extends from the side return to a purpose-built raised sun deck and seating area; then follow the steps down to a white Cotswold stone chipping path, to reach raised planters and vegetable beds sown with tomatoes, chilis, and a variety of greens.
At the bottom of the garden, outside electrics have been installed ready to accommodate a garden pod or home office (planning permission approved April 27th 2021).
A note from the owners
'We love how the kitchen looks out onto the courtyard and garden. It's great in summer when the doors and windows are all open, the light floods in, and we can listen to music while cooking and entertaining.'
In the neighbourhood
The welcoming and creative community surrounding Francis Road is renowned for its plethora of pubs and cafés such as Heathcote and Star, Northcote, and Yardam, and lesser-known gems like Solvay Society, Gravity Well and Perky Blenders coffee from Leytonstone tube station. Masala Indian on Leyton High Road, Yardsale Pizza in Leytonstone and Zaxx on Francis Road are always reliable for a delicious takeaway.
When you fancy some fresh air, you'll have several open green spaces to explore - from Jubilee Park, Leyton and Hackney Marshes to the many canal paths stretching from Limehouse basin to Tottenham Hale reservoir and beyond.
Leytonstone tube, Leyton Midland Road and Leytonstone High Road stations are all within a 15-minute walk, while easy access to the A12 provides a straightforward route to the M25 and on to Essex.
