Spacious two bedroom maisonette for sale in Leyton, featuring generous living space, a private garden and potential for a loft extension.
Set in the sought-after Francis Road area of Leyton, this spacious two bedroom first floor maisonette combines generous proportions with a private garden and exciting potential to extend into the loft, subject to the necessary permissions.
A small front garden leads from this quiet residential street to a shared porch, beyond which the property has its own private entrance and ground-floor hallway.
The split-level landing creates an interesting sense of space and offers the potential to access a loft extension, subject to the necessary permissions, providing an opportunity to further expand the accommodation.
At the front of the property, the generous reception room is filled with natural light from a full-height bay window with a south-east aspect. An attractive fireplace takes centre stage, framed by twin alcoves that lend themselves to bookshelves or an entertainment unit.

Also overlooking the front, the second bedroom is a single room that could work equally well as a home office.

Alternatively, the room has space for a small table, creating a relaxed spot for everyday dining.
A part-glazed door leads from the kitchen into a vestibule, providing access to the fully tiled bathroom. The traditional suite comprises a WC, pedestal basin and bath with a shower above.
