House For Sale £975,000
Detailed Description
Set in a coveted residential pocket between Francis Road and Leyton High Road, this newly-renovated four-bedroom Victorian house lies equidistant from Wanstead Flats, Hackney Marshes, and the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, within easy reach of everything East London has to offer.
The striking two-tone London Stock brick frontage has been carefully restored, providing a lovely contrast with the white-painted sills and stone entrance porch. Follow the traditional black-and-white tiled path to a pale sage green four-panelled front door trimmed with a polished brass letterbox and weathering bar.
Inside, you'll discover immaculate living spaces decorated in subtle shades, with clean, elegant lines and well-considered design details.
Begin in a bright hallway, where glazed panels to the front door, a transom window and a pendant fitting work in tandem with a high ceiling and neutral wall tones to hold the light. Underfoot, a fitted coir doormat transitions to beautiful herringbone parquet flooring, which flows throughout the ground floor.
Ahead, a painted staircase runs in parallel with the dado rail as it rises to the landing, while a concealed entrance behind the stairs leads to a useful cellar measuring approximately 13ft by 4ft 9in.
The door to your left opens into a spacious modern living room, filled with light from a tall, canted sash bay window. A soft grey feature wall complements the warm wood of the floor and neutral pendant fittings above, with a rear alcove creating plenty of room for storage, artwork or a reading area.
Continue along the hall to reach the cloakroom, where Monochrome Décor porcelain tiles by Mandarin Stone combine with matte black fittings and a white wall-mounted basin and loo for a playful, contemporary scheme.
The stylish grey and white palette continues in the open-plan kitchen and living space. Here, two-tone fitted cabinets and a central island (with space for a trio of bar stools) are topped with a white quartz worktop and splashbacks, complemented by statement half-moon brass handles and a brass mixer tap by Dowsing & Reynolds. The room is flooded with natural light thanks to three large skylights, a rear window by a cosy seating area, and black-framed sliding doors to the garden in the dining area. In the evening, recessed downlights and pendant fittings give plenty of lighting options.
Integrated features and appliances include a 1.5-bowl undermounted Franke sink, an AEG oven and microwave, a five-ring gas island hob with overhead extractor, a concealed dishwasher, fridge and freezer. Step up into the separate utility, where you'll find yet more storage and workspace, plus room for an appliance.
Moving up to the first floor, you'll arrive on a split-level landing with a fitted oatmeal carpet flowing into all four bedrooms. At the rear of the house, with a window overlooking the garden, the second double bedroom has a vaulted ceiling and fresh dusky green feature wall.
Echoing this scheme, the adjacent bathroom pairs mint green wall tiles with terrazzo porcelain floor tiles by Mandarin Stone, together with bespoke birch ply shelving, stylish black fittings and a white suite, consisting of a double walk-in rainfall shower with black-framed glass screen, a square vanity basin, and a wall-hung loo.
The attention to detail continues in the main bathroom, accessed from either the upper landing or via pocket doors from the master bedroom. A calming mix of blush pink vertical wall tiles, terrazzo floor tiles and brushed brass taps is given a contemporary edge with the addition of a matte black heated towel rail, flush plate and vanity basin. There's also a luxurious double-ended bathtub, bespoke birch ply shelf, wall-hung loo and a useful mirrored cabinet.
Head into the master bedroom to enjoy plenty of floor space for cosy seating beside another large sash bay window. Twin custom fitted wardrobes with brass handles create a mini walk-through dressing area to the bathroom beyond.
A second staircase brings you to a smaller double bedroom, with storage - overlooking the garden it's a peaceful spot for a home office or nursery.
A few more steps lead to a fantastic dual-aspect good-sized double bedroom with Velux and awning windows, recessed downlights and eaves storage. The airy ensuite shower room next door is lit by a large Velux window, with sky blue wall tiling, terrazzo floor tiles, and black and brass fittings to the corner shower, counter-top vanity basin, and wall-hung loo.
Outside, the southeast-facing garden extends to almost 32ft, with timber fencing enclosing a paved terrace and a neat lawn. The terrace wraps round to the side return to create a handy storage space for bikes, outdoor toys or garden equipment.
