1 bed Flat For Sale £255,000
A charming and characterful one bedroom apartment on the first floor of a low rise mid twentieth century development in Upper Leytonstone. You're in an enviable sweet spot with both underground and overground stations, Leyton Flats and the social hub of Francis Road all within an easy walk.
Leytonstone tube station is just eleven minutes away on foot, and will get you directly to Liverpool Street in fourteen minutes, or Tottenham Court Road in twenty three, via the Central line. Leyton Midland overground is even closer for trains on the Gospel Oak to Barking line for the delights of Hampstead Heath and a host of other landmark destinations.
If you lived here…
You'll be relaxing in your 140 square foot lounge with plush cream carpet underfoot, plenty of room for dining or home working and a wealth of built-in storage. With some canny carpentry this could even be seamlessly integrated to open the space up still further. Your kitchen's next door and beautifully pristine with its splendid sparkling white letterbox tiled backsplash, timber worktops and full complement of appliances.
Continue through and the bathroom's glossy wall tiles and traditional white suite (including shower over the tub) contrast beautifully with black floor tiles. There's some handy storage in here, too. Lastly, your south-facing bedroom's a very generous 150 square foot double enjoying a lovely leafy dual aspect, more soft neutral carpet and another home working spot, should you need it.
Catching up with friends? Our treasured destination of Francis Road is a twelve minute walk away. Part-pedestrianised, this increasingly sought-after neighbourhood is brimming with independent artisan shops, cafes and bars. If you fancy a treat then Morny Bakehouse, the brand new bakery from Marmelo Kitchen, is well worth a visit; it's making waves with its delectable concoctions to sate the sweetest of teeth. Get there early to avoid queues.
What else?
- You're just two stops away from Stratford for the myriad delights of the shopping mecca that is Westfield Stratford City.
- A long lease means that you can forget about any renewal worries.
- Your new local is Filly Brook. Its crowd-funded leafy oasis of a beer garden is in its early stages of opening, plus they're serving up authentic Japanese okonomiyaki as well as Belgian ales in collaboration with another local hotspot Solvay Society Taproom.

A word from the owner...
"I have really loved living in this flat with my partner and will be sad to say goodbye. The bedroom windows let in a great amount of light, which is lovely to wake up to every morning, and my plants love it! I never expected to cook so much over 2020, and the well-organised kitchen was a real pleasure in this regard.
The location has been an absolute life-saver during lockdown, with the Hollow Ponds and forest only a stroll away. Recently we have been enamoured by two small foxes in the evenings, and we even spotted a deer!
The council has just added a bike hangar outside the building, allowing me to get a bike. It's been so nice to go a bit farther with ease, such as to the Lea Valley, Walthamstow Wetlands, Hackney Marshes and the Olympic Village.
Francis Road is a short walk away and we often go to Yardarm for wine, Marmelo for fresh bread, the new Morny Bakehouse for the most amazing pastries and Unity Cafe for coffee. Walthamstow Village, Wanstead and Forest Gate are all also a walk away and have some excellent shops, bars and restaurants."
