1 bedroom maisonette to rent

Set on a quiet residential street in the highly sought-after Abrahams Estate, this lovely Victorian first-floor one-bedroom maisonette is just moments from the thriving Francis Road and within easy reach of excellent transport links and green parks, gardens, and marshland.

STEP INSIDE

Neutrally decorated throughout, the property combines period features with modern finishes. The large living and dining room features exposed wood flooring, a generous bay window, fitted shelving within the alcoves, and a Victorian fireplace. The separate dining kitchen includes a modern fitted kitchen, tiled flooring, and its own Victorian fireplace, creating a practical and well-laid-out space.

The carpeted bedroom also benefits from a Victorian fireplace. The modern shower room has just been renovated and is finished with microcement for a clean, contemporary look and includes a vanity unit for additional storage.

OUTDOORS

Outside is a private, 55-foot, low-maintenance garden with artificial lawn, patio seating area and planted borders, providing an enjoyable outdoor space.

GETTING AROUND

The Tube at Leyton or Leytonstone – both are under 15 minutes' walk. Alternatively, the Overground at Leyton Midland Road is around a 13-minute stroll and has a swift change to the Victoria line at Blackhorse Road, making light work of getting to the City, West End, Canary Wharf and South Bank. Just two stops away, Stratford hosts the beautiful Queen Elizabeth Park and serious retail therapy at Westfield.

IN THE NEIGHBOURHOOD

Just moments from Francis Road, Albert Road is situated in one of Leyton’s most constantly in-demand locations, thanks to its urban village of independent local businesses. Firm favourites include Marmelo Kitchen for coffee, delicatessen treats and pastries, Yardarm for wine, Phlox bookstore, Dreamhouse Records, Edie Rose florist, and Pause yoga studio. Nearby are the Filly Brook craft beer hall, the Heathcote & Star pub, Gravity Well Taproom brewery and bar, and Coach & Horses, which also serves a fantastic roast.

Ten minutes around the corner is Leyton County Cricket Ground with its wonderful Edwardian pavilion, while Coronation Gardens is around a 12-minute walk. The location is perfectly placed to enjoy the beautiful green spaces of Wanstead Flats and Hollow Pond – both within around 30 minutes’ walk (or a short cycle ride), with Epping Forest stretching beyond.

You can reach Stratford by foot, with Hackney Marshes and Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, with the Lea Valley Hockey and Tennis Centre, VeloPark and London Aquatics, easily accessible, along with Westfield shopping centre. The development around the park is on the rise, with the new East Bank cultural hub opening up world-class cultural experiences, including Sadler’s Wells East theatre, the BBC, UAL’s London College of Fashion and the V&A East Museum.
