Attractive, spacious three bedroom house for sale, in the vibrant and popular area of Upper Leytonstone. With generous and stylish internal accommodation and a large garden with potential for a garage (subject to permissions), this is a practical, comfortable and welcoming family home.
Set on a quiet residential street, the charming front garden and attractive façade hint at the property’s spacious and elegant interior. The bright entrance hall provides a cheerful welcome and there’s a downstairs cloakroom with a WC and a modern, wall-mounted hand basin. The large reception room with its tall twin windows and original features - including useful built-in storage - offers a relaxing living space with room for all your furniture and entertainments. The spectacular kitchen/diner has space for a large family dining table, as well as the option to sit at the kitchen island. The kitchen area features a large array of high quality shaker-style cabinets in a duck egg blue, contrasting beautifully with dark granite work surfaces. There are two ovens, microwave, gas hob with stylish extractor above, separate fridge and freezer, and a dish washer. Stylish hardware and light fittings complete this attractive and efficient kitchen. French windows and an additional glazed door provide an abundance of natural light and lead out to the impressive rear garden, with a sunny paved terrace and retractable awning to provide shade in the summer. An extensive lawn leads down to the end which backs onto Forest Road, providing the potential for a garage, a large timber shed offers plumbing for a washing machine and there’s a separate out-house which contains the boiler. Upstairs, the spacious landing, with its contemporary striped carpet, has a built-in storage cupboard which also provides access to the useful attic storage area. Bedroom three is a single room at the front of the property which would make an ideal child’s bedroom, nursery or home office. The main bedroom is a large double with twin windows and built-in wardrobes either side of the chimney breast – useful and still leaving plenty of space for your bed and other furniture. The second bedroom is another comfortable double, again offering built-in storage and looking out to the rear garden. The family bathroom has dark teal walls contrasting with white fixtures including an Edwardian-style sink unit and matching WC with traditional high level cistern. There’s also a state-of-the-art jacuzzi bath with a wrap-around glazed screen, massaging shower heads and a touch screen to operate the radio and steam function. Upper Leytonstone is, for good reason, a very popular location. The quiet residential streets provide a peaceful and friendly neighbourhood, whilst all the amenities you could ever need are close by. This area was home to the great Sir Alfred Hitchcock and many local hospitality businesses have used this as their inspiration, including The Rear Window Restaurant, The Birds Pub and The Hitchcock Hotel. There’s a large supermarket within half a mile, a local M&S Simply Food store and many other shops and amenities very close by on the popular Leytonstone High Road. The area has excellent transport links, with Leytonstone Central Line Tube Station being less than a 15 minute walk. The Leytonstone Community Sports Centre and good local primary and secondary schools are also all within just a few minutes’ walk. This also a perfect location if you enjoy the great outdoors, as some of London’s best green spaces are close by. Hollow Pond and Leyton Flats are a 5 minute stroll and Wanstead Flats, Hackney Marshes and the Walthamstow Wetlands Nature Reserve are within easy reach.
