This beautifully presented ground floor, one bedroom flat with south-facing garden is a great find in the heart of Leytonstone. In the neighbourhood you'll find Leyton Flats and Hollow Pond, Leytonstone Underground station and a host of local and high street shopping outlets – plus plenty of bars and eateries on your doorstep.
The property has its own private entrance and as you enter through this you'll find the lobby, providing access to every room in the apartment. The first door you find on your right is the sophisticated and striking bathroom, let's take a look...
The suite consists of a long end-fill bath with overhead shower fitting, oval shaped sink and toilet, but the real star here is the royal blue tiling which sits wonderfully next to the white walls. The bath and shower area, the side of the bath, and the splash back of the sink are all tiled giving the room a fabulous pop of colour without being overbearing, and making a real eye-catching statement.
The next room you find is the bedroom which is a light, airy and spacious affair. A chimney breast feature leaves space either side that the current owner has used for curtained wardrobes, which could easily be transformed into a fully-fitted feature unless you prefer to utilise either or both recesses for a dresser and some shelving instead. It would easily take a large double bed and bedside units too. Either way, the room is large enough to enable change, and swapping things around to suit your lifestyle flow would be pretty simple to do. The exposed wood flooring is well treated and gives the room a very sophisticated vibe against the neutral decor. There's ample wall space for extra shelving, photographs, artwork or even a TV, and while it's ready to move straight into, it's also the ideal blank canvas to dress or decorate in your own signature style.
The wood flooring carries through to bring that sophisticated ambience into the lounge too, where another chimney breast feature leaves room for shelving and units in the recesses either side. Here though, the chimney breast houses a log burner – a fabulous extra touch that will keep you cosy while hunkering down through the winter months. The high ceilings throughout the apartment come into their own here, with the magnificent bay window stretching across the front wall providing swathes of natural light. The window recess would make a perfect little reading nook and installing some extra seating here, perhaps with some under-seat storage, could make a lovely addition to the atmosphere of this room.
Just off from the living room you'll find the kitchen, which is certainly not short of storage. Below the white worktop and above it on the wall, you'll find a plethora of modern looking deep navy blue fitted cupboard units. There's a fitted hob and oven with extractor hood, while white tiling adorns the wall across the entirety of the worktop making the colour of the cupboards stand out with style. There's room for a small table on the wall shared with the lounge area, plus the kitchen also offers direct access to your patio area, which is perfect for outdoor dining and family gatherings in better weather, or for having a few friends over for pre-drinks for a night out in the nearby town.
As well as the patio seating area for entertaining, the garden itself has small lawn area but is mainly low maintenance and offers sunshine from midday until evening thanks to its south-facing aspect. The well developed and mature shrubbery is easy to tend to for the beginner but planters would be perfect for growing flowers or vegetables for the more green-fingered buyer. There's nothing more satisfying than taking the literal fruits of your labour into the kitchen, and cooking up a storm; there's also a greenhouse, perfect for enabling such endeavours!
This fantastic one bedroom flat in Leytonstone comes available with a share of the freehold, and puts you right in the heart of one of London's most popular, friendly and thriving East End suburbs. The peace and quiet of Hollow Ponds and Epping Forest is only five minutes away, and there's a local shop just over the road if you need any extra bits for dinner or to stock up on any essentials. A Tesco Superstore – complete with pharmacy - not much further away will easily cater for your larger, weekly shop. With excellent connections for trains and buses, central London is just an easy 20 minutes away for commuting or nights out.
Echoing the community feel of the local area, the immediate neighbourhood around the property is also very welcoming and friendly, and the seller speaks highly of their neighbours which makes this an even more appealing purchase.
What the seller says…
We have lived here for three years and we've absolutely loved it! It's a great place for first time buyers or someone who is looking to downsize. It truly is going to be hard to leave this place, we love everything about it! It's a great area and the neighbours are so nice and welcoming.
The location is perfect: It's so convenient to have the shops nearby if you need some extra bits for dinner, want a beer after work or are craving a tub of ice cream in the evening. The high road and Tesco are only a stone's throw away and you are well connected with the tube less than 10 minutes away. If you want some peace and quiet you are only 5 minutes from Epping Forest and Hollow Ponds where you will find some great walking, running and cycling routes.
The flat is organised very well with a spacious kitchen with direct access to the garden (which is great when you are having a BBQ) and lots of daytime light. We're really going to miss having a chat with the neighbours, picking fresh herbs and vegetables from the garden and cozying up by the fireplace on a cold Autumn evening.
