2 bed Flat For Sale £475,000
Detailed Description
Located in the vibrant community surrounding Francis Road, this beautiful, airy two-bedroom Abraham maisonette reflects the era's talent for designing well-planned homes that maximise the available natural light and create a relaxing atmosphere centred around easy living.
Lovingly and completely renovated over the past three years, the interior is decorated in neutral Farrow & Ball tones to increase the sense of space. Period details such as cornicing and ceiling roses sit alongside sympathetic updates such as uPVC sash windows and engineered wood flooring, which unites the hallway to the living areas; while charcoal hexagonal tiles offer an attractive, low-maintenance surface in the rear lobby and bathroom.
From the street, a traditional tiled path leads through a hedged-screened front garden, to reveal a white-painted colonnaded bay window and smart exterior brickwork. A glazed four-panel hardwood Victorian-style front door with brass door furniture (newly fitted in 2019) then welcomes you into the hallway. Painted in School House White by Farrow & Ball, it has several useful storage cupboards under the stairs.
Head left into a spacious primary bedroom - which could easily make an elegant living room - where the Farrow & Ball All White-painted walls, chimney breast and a coved ceiling with rose are lit by the generous bay window to the front. Bespoke high alcove shelving either side of the niche feature fireplace allows for furniture to sit comfortably below.
Behind, you'll find a second double bedroom decorated in Farrow & Ball's Wimborne White, with a nicely neutral woollen oatmeal carpet, the sash window looks out onto the courtyard below.
Continue along the hallway into the open plan kitchen and living area, illuminated by side and rear windows, recessed downlights, and low hanging pendant lights to the dining area, overlooking the garden.
Installed in 2019, the elegant kitchen has been fitted with bespoke shaker-style cabinet doors by Foxstow Shaker Doors, painted in Farrow & Ball Pavillion Gray with antique brass cup pull handles and latches. These are complemented by a quartz worktop and splashback, column-style radiators, plus a generously-sized Villeroy & Boch Butler sink with stainless steel Franke mixer tap and Insinkerator boiling water tap. There is space for a fridge-freezer, with integrated appliances including a Hotpoint microwave, a Neff gas hob with stainless steel extractor hood, and a Neff electric oven. Also fitted in 2019 is a Worcester Bosch combi boiler, cleverly boxed away out of sight.
A door links to a lobby with access to the side return. Beyond lies a contemporary bathroom, where herringbone formation white tiles are paired with matte black accents, including a heated towel rail, double-sized shower enclosure with sleek black-framed door, and a rainfall showerhead with additional handheld attachment. There's also a stylish bowl basin with wood vanity, and a close-coupled loo.
Outside, decking - laid in late summer last year - leads to a north-west facing garden that captures the sun from mid-morning to late evening. There's room for some raised planters or pot plants on the easy-to-maintain artificial-grass lawn, which ends into a patio partly shaded by mature trees. The painted fencing fully enclosing the garden sets the scene for some lovely climbing plants, including a jasmine at the side of the house.
A note from the owners
We undertook a big renovation 2/3 years ago to modernise the flat and rearrange the layout to create dual-aspect living spaces. We love how light and airy it feels now and how conveniently it switches from a relaxing home to a space to entertain. The kitchen diner is a particular favourite spot of ours to nestle with a book and a coffee on a lazy Sunday. We've really loved living here and will truly miss it!
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 Yardarm, as well as lesser-known gems like Solvay Society, Gravity Well, and Perky Blenders coffee from Leytonstone tube station. Masala Indian on Leyton High Road, Yard Sale Pizza in Leytonstone and Zaxx on Francis Road are always reliable for a delicious takeaway.
When you fancy some fresh air, you'll have various 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.
