House For Sale £1,950,000
An exemplary example of an Arts and Crafts home developed for the modern day, utilising the same principals of the initial movement; wide rooms, open plan living and exposed timber framing. The setting of this magnificent home is equally appealing – Upper Leytonstone is a tranquil spot positioned just over ten minutes' walk (0.5 Miles) from Leytonstone Central Line Station and around five minutes' walk from the expansive Leyton Flats that border Leytonstone, Wanstead and Walthamstow. The conveniences of Leytonstone High Road are just under ten minutes on foot, with a Tesco Superstore providing ample opportunity for the weekly shop, whilst a range of fantastic bars, cafes and independent shops lie just beyond, including Bocca Bocca, the recently opened 'Homies On Donkeys' and much anticipated 'Mum Likes Thai Food' which was born in Bethnal Green soon to make its Leytonstone debut.From beginning to end this property exudes charm and offers authenticity in abundance. The property's deep frontage, a pretty mix of neat brickwork and shingle bordered by smart hedges cottage style planting, offers plenty of parking space and provides a charming approach to what is a very handsome home. Upon entry you are lead through a handy entrance porch into a stunning entrance hall with original stone fireplace, exposed beams and deep, rich parquet flooring which runs throughout the ground floor of the property. Large enough to be used as an additional reception area, the entrance hall is a wonderfully versatile space that in true Arts and Crafts style flows seamlessness into the kitchen/dining room and formal reception by way of wide openings. The main reception is a beautiful mix of new and old, where original shutters and striking inglenook fireplace sit alongside the more recent additions of school style radiators and huge sliding door which allows the room to become a separate, more intimate space if desired. The kitchen, a bright and modern space which lies central to the ground floor layout, has been beautifully designed providing a solid stone topped island with breakfast bar sink, adjacent to a run of units housing two ovens, gas burner and space for a wide American style fridge freezer. A later addition to the home, a beautiful modern extension with hardwood beams made from South American Green Heart Trees, is a majestic space flooded by natural light from the surrounding wall-to-wall glass in the form of bi-fold and French doors and full height windows. The substantial extension houses the dining and second reception area and leads into another smaller but equally bright space with exposed brick feature walls, perfect for a home office or play room. There is also a handy downstairs W.C to this floor.
The first floor is accessed by a beautiful dark wooden staircase, leading first to a wide furnishable half landing dominated by a pair of striking original leaded stained glass windows. Four double and one single bedroom are available to the first floor, one with a handy en-suite shower room and all with gorgeous, large leaded windows. In addition to a separate W.C there is an exceptional family bathroom offering large cubicle with rain shower, separate bath with overhead mood lighting and matching white suite. The second floor offers access to a loft room perfect for handy storage and a principal bedroom suite providing bespoke inbuilt wardrobes, W.C and en-suite shower area.
To the rear the landscaped garden has an incredible feeling of privacy with established trees and shrubs running along the entirety of all boundary walls. A large patio and raised decking area with surrounding lights and power provide ample seating and take in views of the immaculate central lawn. Unusually there is also an existing bomb shelter which is now used as an underground store in the grounds in addition to a storage shed and good sized attached garage.
