Guide Price £575,000 - £625,000. This lovely three bedroom house for sale in Leyton has tons of potential, and would make a perfect family home thanks to its size, location and beautiful garden. With easy access to Leyton Midland Road, Walthamstow Queen's Road and Wood Street train stations - plus Leytonstone tube - it's also ideal for commuters.
As you enter the property you'll need to imagine this space with your chosen décor – it's a blank canvas just waiting for you to put your own personal stamp on it. High ceilings coupled with a view straight through to the glass rear door of the kitchen and a staircase snugly lying to the left-hand wall creates a lovely sense of space and light, as does its generous proportions.
To the right of the stairs you'll find the door to the open plan living/dining room which stretches all the way from the front to the rear aspect of the property. The rooms are connected by a lovely archway feature and the huge bay window ensures this room is bathed in natural light all day long. The dining area contains a chimney breast with a gas fire with space either side for storage units and bookcases. There's ample space for a family dining table and as you dine, you can look out through the patio window over the beautifully landscaped garden.
Through the large patio doors we find a large private decking area, an attractive and well kept lawn, and shrubs and plants that are both established and well kept. The garden faces south and is a charming sixty-five foot long sun trap. It would be superb for family barbecues and entertaining friends, with plenty of space for the grown-ups and the kids.
From the garden we can enter back into the property via the second external door, leading you directly into the perfectly formed and recently renovated kitchen. With smart, subway-style tiled walls, it's sleek, modern, well kept, light, and has room for all your essential modern appliances. There's a wide range of gorgeous gloss-finished base and wall units for stowing away your food, pots, pans and plates, and the black contrasting counter-tops add to the shiny, contemporary look.
Back into the hallway, there's a built-in cupboard under the stairs for stashing your vacuum and cleaning equipment away, and when we reach the top of the stairs, on the left you'll find your modern, recently fitted bathroom.
This room is fully tiled in a monochrome style and contains pearl white end-fill bath with overhead shower, sink, toilet and a tall heated towel rail. The large south facing window fills the bathroom with light, and it's been cleverly fitted to make the most of the available space.
The rest of this floor is dedicated to the three family bedrooms. To the left of the bathroom along the landing is the first of the two larger bedrooms, both of which are very similar in size. It has pine, fitted wardrobes either side of the chimney breast providing plenty of storage space, and a substantially sized window, which overlooks the garden and gives a lovely sense of brightness.
The next door on the landing, to the left as you exit the bathroom, leads to the master bedroom with a huge bay window ensuring you'll never have a dull moment in this space! There's room enough to install built-in wardrobes should they be required and the high ceilings leave plenty of wall space for feature wallpapers, a selection of artwork or full length mirror. It's a wonderful space with so many options, you could even fit a super-king bed in here for the ultimate in luxury.
The third bedroom is the smallest of the three but the high ceilings and full window afford it a lovely feeling of breathing space despite its lesser dimensions. It currently serves as a guest room but could easily be switched into a home office, kid's room or even a nursery for that growing family.
The attic is unused at the moment, but could easily be converted into a fourth bedroom or simply boarded out for extra storage. The property is fitted with a new boiler and central heating throughout.
The three bedroom house may require some redecoration in order to bring it up to standard, but with a little imagination you could soon turn this wonderfully spacious house into a stylish, functional home to suit your family. For a more extensive upgrade, there is of course the option for a loft conversion.

What the owner says… 'We have lived here for 41 years, our family have many happy memories here. We like living here because you have access to good transport links, hospital and good school in the area, also close to the M11 and M25. Our neighbours are lovely, one we have know for the 41 years we have been here and the other for 13 years. We have recently updated the bathroom and kitchen but as we are both retired now we are selling to be closer to our daughter who now lives in Essex'.
