House For Sale £800,000
Recently restored by a local developer with an established legacy of Victorian renovations, this three-bedroom, two-bathroom period home sits within a stone’s throw of the vibrant community surrounding Francis Road. It’s also just a quick stroll from Leyton Midland Road Overground and Leytonstone Underground.
From the street, a front patio screened by a low brick wall, hedging, and wrought-iron railings leads to a traditional recessed front door, while white stonework to the lintels and a full-height bay window complements a typical London Stock brick frontage.
Inside, a long hallway with an understairs WC leads into a spacious living room, where white walls meet elegant coving to the high ceiling and a matching central rose.
Behind the living room is a dining room with a coved high ceiling, white-brick fireplace, and décor to match the front reception. A large awning window overlooks the side courtyard, while another central rose adorns a pendant light fitting.
The brick surround to the fireplace has also been painted white. You’ll also find plenty of room for furniture and storage space on either side of the chimney breast.
At the same time, modern laminate flooring adds a minimalist feel that goes hand-in-hand with the natural light pouring through a canted bay window with fitted blinds and frosted lower panels for privacy.
Returning to the hallway, you’ll pass a WC and a two-piece shower room before arriving in a bright, dual-aspect dining kitchen that frames a view to the garden through a wide casement window and a glazed side door.
Recessed downlights and a pendant in the dining room further illuminate both spaces, while the monochromatic design in the kitchen includes grey floor tiles and a good range of white cabinetry with contrasting black worktops. There’s also an integrated oven with a gas hob and pull-out extractor, a dishwasher under the sink, and space for a freestanding fridge-freezer.
Upstairs, you’ll discover three double bedrooms two with soft cream carpets and neutral paintwork to echo the contemporary aesthetic below. In particular, the front bedroom enjoys a lovely light atmosphere created by a spacious canted bay and an awning window. You’ll find the same wood laminate flooring here as downstairs, tall skirtings and another elevated coved ceiling that enhances the sense of space – of which there is plenty for a wardrobe and other bedside furniture.
The family bathroom lies between the middle and back bedrooms and features modern white sanitaryware to the tiled bath (with glass screen, overhead shower, and chrome heated towel rail), pedestal basin and close-coupled loo. A big window with obscured glass panes offsets the black floor tiles underfoot.
Outside, you’ll find a 28ft (approx.) fully enclosed southeast-facing garden ready to tailor to your own vision. To the side lies a paved courtyard area, while a good-sized lawn with a raised rear border and a handy lockable shed offers plenty of potential for sociable summer evenings.
