GUIDE PRICE £525,000-£550,000 - This three bedroom flat in Leytonstone lies within easy reach of three underground and one overground stations, and has the peaceful Hollow Ponds on its very doorstep. It has wooden floors throughout, a recently fitted bathroom and kitchen, and comes with bags of potential for those who want to put their own stamp on the property.
Approaching the house you'll notice the paved garden with mature shrubbery leading up to the front door. At the end of the hallway after the front door is the internal door to the flat, which leads you straight onto the stairs to the landing; from here you have access to the entire property. The landing area is decorated in neutral beige with a brown carpet, so you could easily spruce this up with some colourful prints or just keep it simple if you prefer.
From the top of the stairs, if you head to the rear of the flat you'll find the master bedroom which has huge windows looking out over the garden. The room is full of light and has space enough for a large double bed, bedside units, wardrobes, and the current occupier has even found room for a home office. There's a wallpapered feature wall and an original fireplace creating the perfect restful sanctuary. It's a lovely haven of relaxation situated in the perfect situation for a grown-up escape.
The second bedroom is a little smaller but there's still plenty of room for a double bed and your choice of furniture. It's the perfect room for a kid's room, guest room or even a teenagers retreat. Again, there's a large, tall window filling the room with light, and the room would work well with bunk beds if you want to encourage sleep-overs, or if you have a few children in tow.
The next door along the hallway is the bathroom which is modern and bright. It's tiled from floor to ceiling for a smart, sleek look, making it easier to keep clean. There's a square shaped sink unit, a similar style toilet, and a wet room style walk-in shower unit with a lovely tiled detail. It has a boutique hotel vibe with an air of luxury about it.
Up a small set of stairs and directly ahead of you is the third and final bedroom. It may be the smallest bedroom but there's still plenty of room for a double bed a set of drawers and a wardrobe, and it benefits from the same tall windows that the rest of the flat does. Both the second and third bedroom would make an ideal guest room, home office, home gym, hobby room or nursery – just choose the set-up that best suit your own needs, and you have your perfect new home.
The final door on the landing is to the kitchen which is connected to the living room via a central door in the connecting wall. This is a lovely sized room with an L shaped unit in the corner; it has a fitted microwave, hob and oven set in to the sophisticated grey gloss fitted units. The kitchen worktop is a perfect match with the base and wall units, and the splash-back is made up of white subway style tiles.
The tall corner window is an interesting design feature and to the left of this you'll find even more fitted cupboards, meaning storage will never be a problem. The flooring here is a darker wood than the rest of the flat and there's plenty of floor space for a large dining table to entertain family and friends, enjoy a quiet meal for two, or help the kids with their homework.
Adjoined to the kitchen is the impressive living area with huge, tall bay windows, high ceilings and a polished wooden floor. There's room for two or three large sofas or a corner sofa, a coffee table, TV units, display units – and even a small dining table if you find the right configuration. The large chimney breast leaves recesses either side perfect for shelving or bookcases, or you could even set up a small work or hobby desk here. The space available in this lovely room is one of the many great benefits of this flat, and the layout overall allows you a level of versatility hard to beat.
The flat also comes with its own section of the garden to the rear of the property. Accessed via a side return the garden has not been partitioned from the downstairs garden, but would include the access leading to the rear along with a section of lawn and flower bed area, to the left as you look towards the rear of the garden (this does not include the decked area as the downstairs part for the garden forms an L-Shape).
This property has the gorgeous natural expanses of Hollow Ponds just a short walk away and The Sir Alfred Hitchcock Hotel with its popular Rear Window restaurant just two streets' walk. Whipps Cross Hospital, Leyton Sixth Form College, Leytonstone School, and Leytonstone Underground Station are all local and within walking distance, plus a large supermarket and easy access to the local shops, takeaways, cafes and bars. With its high standard of finish and perfect location, this property has everything you could ask for.
