Two bedroom split-level maisonette for sale in Upper Leytonstone – spacious rooms, interesting features, new kitchen, great location.
Set within an attractive period property in the popular Upper Leytonstone area, this spacious two bedroom maisonette combines character and stylish contemporary updates. With great transport links and easy access to all amenities, this stunning and distinctive property presents a fantastic opportunity for East London living.
Part of a beautiful Victorian villa, the property’s façade features a classic mansard roof and ornate porch with original ceramic tiles in a colourful geometric pattern. Entering through the maisonette’s elegant, blue-painted door, you’ll find a bright entrance hall with room for your coats and shoes.
From the hallway, bedroom one to your left offers scope for separate sleeping and dressing zones, thanks to its interesting ‘L’ shape. A comfortable double room with plenty of natural light and space for your furnishings, the simple décor and light grey carpets give the room a restful feel while allowing plenty of opportunity to put your own stamp on the space.
The second bedroom would work perfectly as a kid’s room, guest room, nursery or home office depending on your needs. Like the rest of the property, it’s well presented and offers plenty of natural light from the traditional-style sash window – another lovely period touch found throughout this charming property.
Possible the best feature of the property is the dramatic staircase, leading from the hallway to the lower ground living area. Built into an original bay window, the floor between the two levels has been removed to create a remarkable double height space, beautifully illuminated by several windows, letting natural light flood into the hall above and the living area below.
Down in the living area, a lovely niche set within the sweep of the staircase would make a wonderful reading nook, study area or intimate dining space. The footprint is generous enough for relaxing seating, your entertainment unit and additional furniture, plus a large storage cupboard with sliding doors is already in situ to help you keep the space tidy. Dark wood flooring adds warmth and contrast against the crisp neutral décor, creating a clean contemporary feel while still retaining a cosy atmosphere. The room feels airy and versatile, ready for you to make it the heart of your new home. Leading through from the reception space is the newly fitted kitchen, sleek and modern with deep navy base and wall units, wood-effect worktops and beautifully textured, exposed brick-style splash-backs. Thoughtfully designed to maximise both preparation and storage space, the layout offers practicality for everyday living while maintaining a contemporary and sophisticated aesthetic. The bathroom is fresh and modern, with contemporary tiling and a soft, neutral palette. The suite comprises of WC, sink with vanity underneath and unit above, and fitted bath with glazed screen and shower above. Modern, smart fittings create a practical and comfortable space with a clean, polished finish.
Beyond the apartment itself, Upper Leytonstone’s many amenities, facilities and transport links all lie within easy access. Hollow Ponds and Epping Forest are both within easy reach, offering beautiful open green spaces ideal for walking, cycling or simply escaping the pace of city life for a while. The surrounding area is known for its attractive residential streets, strong sense of community and excellent transport connections, while nearby cafés, restaurants and local shops provide everything needed for day-to-day living.
What the seller has to say.I’ve loved living here for the past three years. It was my first property and I’ve made many fond memories. The location is unbeatable – a short walk to Leytonstone High Street or a 15-minute stroll to Wanstead where we’d often visit Ginger Pig and Gail’s. Plus, the Leytonstone tube station is just a stone’s throw away, making commuting for work a breeze.
One of the things I’ve enjoyed most about living here is the balance Leytonstone offers between city convenience and a real community feel. There’s always something happening locally, from independent cafés and pubs to the markets and events around the area, while Wanstead Flats and Epping Forest are nearby for walks, runs and escaping the city for a bit.
Another exciting feature of the property is the kitchen which we fully renovated last year. I’m selling as I’m moving in with my partner. The sale is chain-free, and I’d love for the next owner to enjoy the property and area as much as I have.
