House For Sale £650,000
Guide price £650,000-£675,000 - Approaching from a quiet residential street, the property’s small but charming cottage garden provides a warm welcome, accentuated by the bright, cheerful hallway. There’s space for coats and shoes and access to the useful cellar.
The main through-reception with its high ceilings, impressive original features and large bay window is a wonderful living space. Separated into two areas by a wide arch, the front section makes a perfect ‘formal’ sitting area, while the rear section - with access to the garden via wide French windows - would be an ideal family room or dining space.
The morning room looks out to the side-return of the garden through another, smaller bay window and has potential as a dining room, additional lounge area or could form part of a refurbishment project to create a stylish kitchen-family room.
The kitchen has a range of wall and base cabinets, an integrated double oven, a gas hob and plumbed-in space for both a washing machine and dishwasher. A small hallway provides access to the downstairs WC and also leads out to the south-east facing rear garden.
The garden has paved areas and wide beds ideal for growing your own produce or populating with your favourite flowers. A timber shed provides storage and beyond the garden are attractive mature trees.
Upstairs are three bedrooms, a family bathroom, a separate WC and a built-in storage cupboard on the landing.
Bedroom three looks out to the side garden and would make an ideal child’s bedroom or study. The second bedroom is a double room which looks out across the rear garden to the nearby trees. The main bedroom is a large double which spans the full width of the property and has large twin windows to maximise the natural light.
The family bathroom is accessed through bedroom three and would benefit from refurbishment and reconfiguration to provide separate access.

Owners Comments… ‘We moved to Leytonstone in the late 1970’s and to Norman Road in 1980. We have seen the area change a lot over the years, businesses from fashion outlets to restaurants for example but the area has a great deal of charm and features on offer, such as the excellent transport links and green open spaces of Epping Forest. In September the is a car free day and there are events like the Leytonstone festival and arts trail to enjoy, to name but a few. We have loved our time living here and have lovely neighbours so we are sad to go but we have decided to downsize. We hope the new owners love living here as much as we have’
