2 bedroom duplex for sale

If we were to mention well feathered neighbours like wrens, herons, kingfishers, coots, robins and moorhens - you probably wouldn't think we were talking about Stratford. David Attenborough may have something to say, because that's exactly where we are; overlooking the blossom- lined Portlands, with it's own colourful variety of homemakers, Alexander Rose Estates presents Tayberry House, E20.

A home that allows you space to breathe, grow and stay grounded, this split-level apartment offers that and so much more. Spread over the ground and first floors, at 810sqft - it feels more house-like than most flats in the development — something the owners say was high on their wishlist.

"Our flat has always felt like the perfect balance of calm and connection. We love being so close to nature, with peaceful views over the pond and total tranquillity thanks to there being no nearby roads — yet we’re still right at the centre of a vibrant, welcoming community with everything we need just a short walk away.”

Upstairs you'll find two double bedrooms with full height windows, to fully immerse yourself in the ever changing colourscape outside, plus a three piece bathroom with mirrored cabinets. Downstairs, an L-shaped induction kitchen occupies one side of the room, and features a subway tiled splashback and sleek storage options such as a pull-out pantry and carousel cupboard.

Over into the lounge area, double doors open straight out onto your own 23ft private terrace, which is large enough for planting, catching up with friends or simply appreciating the sun as it reflects off the water, accompanied by the sounds of nature.

Within easy reach, you'll find a wide selection of artisan cafes, restaurants and shops. Tayberry House is also neighbour to world class Olympic sporting venues and the soon to be completed East Bank,- an impressive hub collating establishments in education, arts and culture. Local Ofsted Outstanding schools, Westfield Shopping Centre and all the connectivity you need from Stratford and Stratford International stations are also nearby.

The owners called it a lakeside property, but perhaps you could call it yours?
