Forest Road, Leytonstone, London, E11 1JT

Spacious and beautifully presented three-bedroom cottage for sale in Leytonstone, with a large south-facing garden, a fantastic location in the conservation area and close to all local amenities, it’s the perfect family home, and great potential for redevelopment.
Situated on a street with resident-only parking, the smart façade and cheerful blue front door welcome you into the entrance hall. Decorated in a grey and white palette, with grey multi-tone flooring, the initial impression is modern, fresh and cosy. The hallway also features a good-sized storage cupboard, and the contemporary flooring runs through into the reception and dining rooms.
The lovely open-plan reception and dining area benefits from lots of natural light, thanks to a large window at the front overlooking the street and French doors to the rear, opening out into the garden. There’s plenty of space for a large sofa or suite, entertainment unit and storage or display furniture, with the dining area easily accommodating a family-sized table. This is a fluid and flexible space, with the potential to be purposed and zoned according to your needs.
Heading into the galley-style kitchen, there is a vast range of beech base and wall cabinets and sprawling grey granite-style worktops. Vibrant red-tiled splash-backs and black and white checkerboard floor complete the look, and the kitchen is fitted with an integrated oven, hob and extractor. Beyond the kitchen is a small utility room, plus a full family bathroom fitted with WC, sink, and bath with a shower above and a glazed screen. Décor is white tile and fittings, with checkerboard flooring.
The garden itself is a real bonus, measuring in at over 27ft and facing south for those long summer days. A paved patio area and side-return provide space for outdoor furniture, and the long lawn area is easy to maintain – or could be re-designed to your vision. A shed sits at the very end of the garden, and privacy is provided by high grey/blue fencing to all three sides.
Heading up the carpeted stairs, the split-level landing offers space for a chair or perhaps a bookcase, and leads to all three bedrooms. Bedroom one, to the front aspect, features dual windows and a full wall of built-in wardrobes with storage above. Grey carpets and warm yet neutral décor finish this welcoming adult space, and there’s room for a comfy bed and additional furnishings.
Bedroom two is another good-sized double with similar carpeting and colour palette to the main bedroom. To the rear of the property lies bedroom three – suitable for a double bed, office space or a nursery – with neutral fawn walls and a beautiful wooden floor.
Leytonstone is a popular and vibrant area of London with a fantastic selection of bars, cafes, pubs and restaurants all within walking distance. The Sir Alfred Hitchcock Hotel opposite Hollow Ponds is a popular destination with delicious food, and the Out of the Woods cafe are only a short walk away. Plus, you are well located for Hollow Ponds as well convenient access to a range of supermarkets, home-ware stores, GP surgeries and all the amenities you could need. The area is serviced by several reliable bus routes as well as Leytonstone Underground Station, and there are some great schools in the vicinity, too.
