A well-situated one-bedroom conversion flat for sale in the sought-after Carnarvon Road area of Leyton. Occupying the first floor, the property offers a particularly spacious living room, a double bedroom, modern kitchen and bathroom, as well as a share of the freehold.
The property is situated on a pretty, leafy street with resident parking. It’s an attractive, grey-painted terrace, with well-proportioned bay windows to both floors, enhanced by period detailing to the surrounds of the windows and door. There is a small front garden with a quarry tiled path, which leads to the shared porch and the part-glazed period wooden front door, complete with fan light. You’ll make your way into the shared entrance hall, then through your own front door.
There’s room for coat and shoe storage here. Then, making your way up your private staircase, with its stripped pine original banister and neutral colour scheme, you’ll reach the first floor with its bright landing. From here, there’s easy one level access to all of your rooms. Currently presented throughout in restful, neutral tones, you have ample scope to put your own decorative stamp on the property.
Your large reception room is a true highlight, affording a generous living space with the benefit of not only a beautiful bay, but also an additional sash window. Light floods in here, and there’s plenty of flexibility to arrange it according to your needs. There’s ample room for comfy seating for you and your friends and family to kick back and relax, as well as potential storage and dining options. There’s even space to set up a workstation, too.
Back to the landing, and it’s through an original stripped wooden door with period brass fittings into your bathroom. It’s a white, modern suite comprising WC, a bath with overhead Victorian style shower, and a basin. There’s a splash of colour and warmth from the tiles here and plenty of natural light from the obscured glass window, which also provides a handy sill for storing any potions and lotions you might need while showering.
Next to the bathroom is your bedroom, a good-sized double, with plenty of space for storage. A large sash window overlooks the rear of the property to the gardens below. The south-facing aspect brings an abundance of light to this airy, calm sanctuary.
Back out onto the landing and heading towards the rear of the property, you’ll find your generously-sized kitchen. With another large window – again south-facing – this is a bright, light cheerful space, with plenty of room in which to conjure up culinary feasts. A range of contemporary shaker-style base and wall cabinets are complemented by dark granite-effect work surfaces. There’s a laundry area, with plumbing for washing machine and space for a tumble drier. The kitchen also has room for a fridge-freezer.
An additional advantage of this property is the possibility of purchasing a share of the freehold.
Carnarvon Road is a fantastic location, only ten-minutes stroll from the ever-popular Walthamstow Village. You’ll be close to the heart of the village, with its many great places to shop, socialise and eat, like The Village Pub and Orford Road Tapas, or new favourite, HUCKS coffee shop. Leyton itself has its own delights to offer, from the Gravity Room Taproom to the Burnt Smokehouse in the shadow of the railway. Talking of transport, this property is brilliantly situated, giving you a wealth of travel options into Central London and beyond. Walthamstow Central and Leytonstone Underground stations, as well as the Overground, are all just a matter of minutes away by foot.
This area is popular with young families, who are attracted not only by the easy-going social atmosphere, but also by the number of highly-regarded schools. There are no fewer than four Ofsted-rated ‘Outstanding’ schools within easy reach of the property.
And in terms of what to do in your leisure time, as well as the obvious draw of the bright lights of Central London, there’s plenty to do locally too. The fresh air and woodland walks of Epping Forest are on your doorstep, as well as Hollow Ponds. You’re also close to the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and Lee Valley Park, with all the sporting and cultural activities they offer, as well as the much-loved Leyton Orient FC, if football’s your thing. This area offers so much to see and do in London’s thriving East End and beyond.
