Bright and modern, this first-floor converted Victorian apartment sits within a traditional terraced street just a short walk from Francis Road’s thriving community of independent shops, fantastic eateries, and popular pubs. Leytonstone’s Tube and Overground stations are also reachable within 10-12 minutes, while the southern tip of Epping Forest, Hackney Marshes, and the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park all lie within cycling or walking distance.

From the front, bay windows with decorative foliage capitals stand out against a sandy-hued brick frontage typical of the Victorian terraces in the area. A low white rendered with railings and a matching gate opens to a chequered tiled path, which leads to a black-painted front door with obscured glazed panes and a transom window above.

Step through into a hallway leading to your first-floor apartment. To the front, you’ll discover a good-sized coved living room illuminated by central pendant fitting and a big picture window and canted bay with fitted blinds. The crisp white wall tones pair with a practical grey carpet – a neutral theme that continues throughout the flat, allowing you to easily personalise it to suit any design scheme.

Returning to the hallway, you’ll pass a storage cupboard before reaching the first double bedroom, which features plenty of plug sockets and a view of the garden from a large awning window with a fitted blind.

Continue along to find the bathroom. Large white tiles with contrasting grouting surround a bath with a glass screen, a shower attachment, and contemporary chrome taps to match the basin vanity unit. There’s also a chrome heated towel rail and a modern close-coupled loo, while an obscured side awning window offers light and privacy.

The galley-style kitchen lies just beyond, where a white tiled splashback backdrops grey cabinets and worktops. While there’s already an integrated oven with a gas hob and extractor hood on hand, you’ll also find space for a freestanding fridge freezer and a washing machine beneath a stainless-steel sink and a partly obscured side window. The boiler is also housed here.

Finally, you’ll arrive in a second bedroom enjoying a leafy view from a casement and awning window with a fitted blind. If desired, this double would also make a great guest room or home office.

IN THE NEIGHBOURHOOD

Heading into the neighbourhood, you’ll discover a local lifestyle that’s varied and full. The wonderful village scene on Francis Road is just a few minutes' walk away with shops, bars and delis, including Marmelo Kitchen for coffee and fresh bread; Morny bakery for an amazing selection of sweet and savoury treats; Yardarm for lunch or dinner and a fantastic wine shop; Phlox bookstore; Edie Rose florist and Pause yoga studio. Four great pubs – The Northcote, Leyton Technical, Heathcote & Star and The Fillybrook – and High Road Leytonstone's pubs and cafés are all within a short wander.

With so much local transport, including plenty of bus routes stopping on nearby Grove Green Road, the house is extremely well connected. Leytonstone Tube and High Road Leytonstone Overground stations are both 12 and 10-minutes’ walk away, respectively, making it easy to get to Central London and Canary Wharf, as well as for trips to Camden, Hackney, Hampstead and – for retail therapy at Westfield and wide-open space in the Queen Elizabeth Park – Stratford.

There are several local parks in the area, as well as good running routes through to Hackney Marshes, Wanstead Flats and Epping Forest. For local walks, head to Hollow Ponds or Walthamstow Marshes and Wetlands, which are both nearby.
