House For Sale £595,000
Detailed Description
Thoughtfully designed, this three-bedroom Victorian gem sits on a quiet, well-located street close to parks, shops, and restaurants and comes with a lush garden to the rear.
In 2019, the current owners extended the kitchen, converted the loft, and replaced all the windows to the front and rear with uPVC sashes. Other improvements included replacing all the internal doors and handles, fitting new radiators, and installing energy-efficient LED lighting throughout.
Set behind a beautifully kept box hedge and a low wall, the house welcomes you with a London brick exterior punctuated by a bay window and detailed stonework above a panelled, part-glazed blue front door.
Inside, an attractive monochrome tiled hallway leads you to a bright and tastefully decorated living room. A tall bay window with frosted privacy lower panes and bespoke dusky blue blinds softly illuminate a new herringbone sisal carpet and white walls.
Follow the hall past the central carpeted staircase to find a useful storage and utility space containing a washing machine. The clever layout continues in the bathroom next door, where large format grey tiles line the walls and floor, setting the scene for a generous walk-in shower with a brushed chrome waterfall head and handheld attachment. There's an anthracite heated towel rail, a niche for toiletries, wall hung basin, and concealed cistern loo.
Beyond lies an open plan kitchen and living space, bathed in light from six large Velux windows (three with integrated sun diffuser blinds), LED spots, and anthracite aluminium bifold doors to the garden.
Stylish teal gloss handless units offer plenty of storage, complemented by white metro tiles and bespoke Italian black granite worksurfaces with hob splashback. You can comfortably seat four barstools around the island. Integrated Neff "hide and slide" electric oven, Bosch microwave, dishwasher, fridge-freezer and induction hob with an AEG extractor complete the kitchen.
The room continues with a versatile living area overlooking the garden - perfect for curling up on the sofa, watching TV or enjoying the warmth from the cosy woodburning stove in the corner.
On the first floor, find a front-facing double bedroom left of the landing. Spot-lit, with crisp white walls and neutral carpet, it also features two sash windows with lower frosted privacy panes and bespoke blackout blinds. There's also room for bedside tables and clothes storage.
To the right of the hall is a second double bedroom with a similar colour scheme and two sash windows with bespoke blinds offering a garden view.
A door on the landing leads you to a second staircase - with a clever built-in storage cupboard - revealing a double-aspect master bedroom on the second floor. With two Velux windows and anthracite aluminium French doors with integrated blackout blinds opening to a rear Juliet balcony, it feels light and airy throughout the day. An en suite with a roof light and pale grey tiles contains a shower, vanity basin, shaver point, heated towel rail and a loo.
Outside, the garden has been lovingly landscaped to create a private oasis of calm featuring a good-sized terracotta tiled terrace and borders with wooden sleepers and raised beds.
The wide variety of foliage and shrubs include young Jacquemonti silver birch trees, two types of bamboo, various ferns, evergreen clematis and scented jasmines - a haven for robins, blackbirds and redwings, who are attracted by the berries from the mature Holly tree at the end of the garden. An integrated drip-feed system around the perimeter ensures the garden helps care for itself, with a beautiful bespoke cedar wood greenhouse (installed in May this year) with built-in automatic temperature control to the rear.
A note from the owners
"We love sitting in front of the cosy wood burner in winter and enjoying the quiet privacy of the garden in summer."
In the neighbourhood
With three neighbourhoods to explore, Blenheim Road benefits from a wealth of cafés, bars and restaurants within walking distance alongside the vast international shopping, cinema and food operators of Westfield Stratford City, just one stop (two mins) by train.
Local favourites include The Wild Goose Bakery for bread and pastries; Mora for Italian cuisine; Asado for steak; Marmelo on Francis Road in Leyton; The Rookwood Tavern, Wanstead Tap and Leytonstone Tavern for excellent pints and food; and The Holly Tree for its Sunday roasts and beloved miniature railway.
For dog walks, running and exercise, the nearby Forest Lane and Langhorne Parks both have lakes, walking paths and playgrounds, while the wonderful reserve of Wanstead Flats is just at the end of Ramsay Road.
There are numerous Ofsted-rated 'Good' schools in the neighbourhood, including Maryland, Jenny Hammond and St Francis primaries, St James junior, Buxton secondary, and Hafs Academy.
Maryland station is just 2 minutes by train from Stratford and nine from Liverpool Street, while Leytonstone High Road (Overground) and Forest Gate (an upcoming stop on Crossrail) are also within walking distance. If you want the tube, hop on a bus for the 6-minute ride to the Central Line stations at Leyton and Stratford.
