Lying in a residential area bookended by Francis Road and Leytonstone’s bustling centre, this freshly redecorated one-bedroom ground-floor apartment is just a short stroll from some of the best pubs and bars East London has to offer.

Set within a Victorian terraced home just a 10-minute walk from Leytonstone Overground and Tube, the property backs onto a south-west facing garden with lots of potential. To the front, the exterior stands out from its neighbours thanks to its attractive red-brick exterior, which contrasts with the white colonnaded bay window and the moulding surrounding a traditional recessed entrance porch.

A wrought-iron gate leads past the front patio, partly screened by mature hedging, to an panelled door with decorative glazing that opens into a shared lobby.

The door on your left opens into your private hallway, where you’ll find a useful in-built storage cupboard for coats and shoes.

The crisp white walls and cream carpet underfoot flow throughout the apartment for a modern and cohesive feel. Straight ahead, you’ll discover a generously proportioned living room, brightened by a central light and a broad canted bay window that faces east to capture the morning sunshine.

Behind the living room lies a decent-sized kitchen containing a good range of cabinetry with a white tiled splashback, an in-built storage cupboard, and space for appliances. There’s also a stainless-steel sink with a drainer, along with controls for the heating and boiler. Meanwhile, a part-glazed door and window frame a view of the garden. 

Continue along the hall to find a refurbished three-piece shower room, where a white hexagonal tiled splashback offsets a black-framed rainfall shower enclosure with gold-plated fittings to match the wall-mounted sink and pipework. A window to the side also draws in natural light.

At the end of the hall, a large casement and awning window pairs with a central pendant to illuminate the double bedroom.

Outside, the side return leads to a 46ft southwest-facing garden that enjoys plenty of sunlight. Split between a large patio and a lawn edged with shrubs, it’s enclosed by fencing and feels peaceful and private. You could easily adapt this blank canvas to any planting scheme or transform it into a fantastic space for socialising and entertaining.
