This spacious and well presented five bedroom terrace house sits in the popular neighbourhood of South Leytonstone on a quiet residential street close to a wealth of local amenities. With two reception rooms, a large kitchen/diner, two bathrooms and five bedrooms set over two floors, this really would make an ideal family home.

Situated on a quiet tree-lined street with residents’ only parking, the house retains the attractive façade typical of this type of property. As you pass through the small front garden, which provides privacy from the street, take time to admire the original features including an impressive bay window with columned mullions and dental mouldings, alongside the arched outer porch with its intricate pilasters and keystone.

Pass through the outer door into the original porch and then through a second door into the bright internal hallway. The clever layout of the property gives a feeling of space, as the hall opens up into the second reception room - which also provides additional natural light. The overall impression is of a welcoming area to receive friends and family into your home. Decoration is simple with warm cream walls and a high quality timber laminate floor. There’s also a large radiator and plenty of storage space for coats and shoes.

The first door to the right leads into reception room one. This is a light and airy room emphasised by the large bay window which acts as a charming focal point and would be the perfect spot for a bespoke window seat or statement armchair. The room can accommodate large settees, bookcases or display shelving and an entertainment unit - perfect for family chill out time. Decoration mirrors the theme from the hallway with soft cream walls and quality timber laminate flooring. It will be easy to bring this room to life with the addition of a stylish rug and artwork adorning the plentiful wall space. There’s also a large radiator and modern double glazing, cleverly designed to mimic what would have been the original sash windows.

Return to the hallway now and you’ll see that it opens up into the second reception room, further highlighting the spacious feel of the property. Currently used as a dining room, this could easily be configured as a second sitting room – or any purpose that suits your lifestyle. Looking out towards the south-west facing rear garden, this is a peaceful room with abundant natural light. Being open to the stairs enhances the sense of space here, which is further heightened by the continuation of decoration and flooring from the hall - with the flooring’s contrasting light and dark shades being a real feature of the room. There’s a built-in storage cupboard under the stairs and a large radiator for those colder months.

Through the door at the far end of reception room two, you’ll find the spacious kitchen/diner… but before we explore this area, open the door to your left, where you’ll find a cleverly designed shower room, with a W.C., pedestal hand basin and shower cubicle. The walls are fully tiled in white, with an attractive mosaic tiled border in multiple shades of blue, and there’s a contrasting black tiled floor, making this a practical space and a real bonus to have a second bathroom in a large family home of this period.

Back into the kitchen/diner and you’ll be struck by the space on offer and the amount of light flooding the room from its large windows and a partially glazed door. The gloss black floor tiles and light cream walls reflect the light, making this the ideal hub for family life. There’s space for a dining table and free standing storage at one end of the room (which overlooks the side return area of the garden) and there’s a practical

L-shaped kitchen at the other end, overlooking the rear garden. There’s a range of base and wall cabinets and drawers in a modern beech

veneer, with satin chrome handles and dark granite effect worktops. Upper cabinets have a bullnose trim below and an extended horizontal crown moulding above which extends over the extractor in a single span providing a nice design touch. Backsplashes are formed from bevelled tiles in a stylish running bond pattern, primarily white with a single row of black, and there’s room for a large fridge freezer and plumbing for a washing machine.

From the kitchen, the side door leads into the side return area of the garden, which is ideal for storage or could be developed as an intimate seating area ideal for a morning coffee or evening cocktail. The main area of the garden is set to a combination of brick pavers and a gravel seating area, and there’s currently an extensive collection of potted plants for easy maintenance. An enthusiastic gardener could bring a

touch of the tropics to this space, with its south facing aspect and tall fences providing shelter from the elements.

We’ll return to reception room two now and take the stairs to the first floor. The stripped pine newel posts, handrail and balusters draw you up to the large landing, which provides access to all the rooms on the first floor and the stairs to the second floor attic conversion. The stairs and landing are laid with mocha coloured carpet and there’s also a small additional storage space on this level.

Straight ahead at the top of the stairs is bedroom three, which faces out onto the rear garden. This is a good sized single room, with a small entrance vestibule that ensures all the space is usable. Ideal for a child’s bedroom or nursery, it would also make an ideal study or home office depending on your needs. The sloping ceiling lends an air of country cottage to this room, making it a cosy space to spend time relaxing or working. Decoration matches the rest of the property with cream walls and practical laminate flooring.

Back to the landing and the next room along is the family bathroom. Here you’ll find a white three piece bathroom suite, comprising of a W.C., pedestal hand basin and a bathtub with shower and shower rail. Walls are fully tiled in large cream ceramic tiles with a complementary mosaic border and matching floor tiles. There’s also a combined radiator and towel rail.

Return to the landing and further along, on the left, you’ll find bedroom two. This is a double room facing on to the side return of the rear garden and benefits from good natural light from a large window. There’s space for a double bed, wardrobes and otherstorage furniture. The simple decoration could easily be enhanced with the addition of some artwork or a feature wall mural.

The final room on this level is the main bedroom, situated at the front of the property. This a large double room which spans the full width of the property and has lovely symmetrical proportions provided by its twin windows. There’s room here for a large double bed, a full range of bedroom furniture and a dressing table. With its views outto the trees which line the road, a comfy armchair and side table in one corner

would make a lovely reading nook, perfect as a retreat after a hectic day at work. Once again, simple decoration of soft cream walls would make the ideal backdrop for some imaginative wall art or a large mirror to emphasise the proportions of the room.

Return to the landing once again and take the stairs to the second floor. The access to the attic conversion has been cleverly integrated to make it feel like an original feature of the property and the small landing on the second floor provides excellent access to the two second floor bedrooms. The attic conversion has been built using large dormers to give these spaces traditional vertical windows and high ceilings, making the rooms feel bright and spacious.

Bedroom five, the larger of the bedrooms on this floor faces out to the rear garden, with the large window benefitting from the south-west facing aspect and also has two additional rooflights to further enhance the sense of light and space in this room. This is a large room with multiple layout options and would make an ideal teenager’s room with its quirky feel and sense of some separation from the first floor bedrooms.

The final room on this floor is bedroom four, which is currently configured as a study, but is large enough to be a good sized child’s bedroom with plenty of natural light and views across the neighbouring rooftops. Subject to the necessary approvals it might be possible, if desired, to transform this room into an ensuite bathroom or dressing room for the neighbouring bedroom to convert the entire second floor into an impressive master suite.

Leytonstone is a vibrant area with fabulous amenities on your doorstep. The well-loved High Road, with its many shops and hospitality businesses and other amenities is right on the doorstep, plus you have Leyton Mills Retail Park just a few minutes away, offering a large supermarket and other retail outlets.
