You have over 1900 square feet of artfully appointed living space here, refurbished and renovated to an incredibly high architectural standard. Sat at the end of the terrace, you're effectively semi detached, and exceptionally well placed for greenery, nightlife and transport. The property features effective length and breadth that's very uncommon even by the generous standards of the period, with the original architecture artfully adapted and expanded upon. Designer finishes are everywhere and every bit as high end as the structural choices. You're around half a mile on foot from both E10's cafe capital of Francis Road and the burgeoning new social hub of Tilbury Yard. As well as a huge number of independent cafes and restaurants within easy reach, there's a choice of green spaces right on your doorstep. YOUR NEW HOME The original architecture has been artfully expanded upon, to deliver height, depth and breadth beyond the period proportions. Your front lounge awaits on the right, bay windowed and bright, and coming in at a shade under 200 square feet in its own right. Lovingly restored original floorboards run underfoot, and a handsome vintage hearth and mantel. Classic bistro shutters sit on the bay window, and an elegant sage green colour scheme rises up to the original picture rail. Next door there's a second reception, similarly styled and ideal for use as a dedicated home office. But the undoubted highlight of your new home sits to the rear ready to wow visitors old and new; a wonderfully skylit, superbly expansive open plan kitchen and reception, totalling around 500 square feet. A pair of vast oversized skylights illuminate blonde herringbone hardwood floors, along with natural light flooding in through the rear wall of Crittall style doors and windows. A generous suite of Cobalt blue kitchen units run down the left hand side, with brass fittings, timber worktops and a centrepiece stainless steel range oven, all sat against a backdrop of vintage tilework. Step out into your garden views for a lush length of lawn, flanked by timber fencing and raised planters, and nicely secluded at the end by mature greenery. A mature Cherry tree stands on the boundary blooming in Spring to provide an abundance of organic cherries. Back inside and the ground floor is completed by a handy guest WC, in white and Victorian green tilework Upstairs your first two bedrooms are substantial doubles of around 130 square feet, finished in soft pastel tones. Bedroom number three is a generous single, while your first floor family bathroom echoes the glossy Victorian green and white tiling from below, with a tub and dedicated walk in shower cubicle. Finally, your loft suite is especially expertly finished, dual aspect between twin skylights and a Crittall framed Juliet balcony. Engineered blonde hardwood runs underfoot throughout the 250 square foot space, and there's a striking white en suite off to the side with a generously sized shower cubicle. YOUR NEW NEIGHBOURHOOD Step out your front door and you're just a short walk from a choice of Leyton's bustling social hubs. Francis Road is around a fifteen minute stroll away. Here you'll find regularly rave reviewed local stars like Yardarm, Marmelo and Albert & Francis, plus an ever evolving further choice of independent cafes, bars and delis. The Saturday KERB market and regular Francis Road Lates add still more local flavour, offering street food and regular pop up events respectively, while off Lea Bridge Road to the north, Blondies Brewery and the Hare & Hounds are both fine choices for a new local. Leyton Midland Road station is around a half mile on foot, for the overground Suffragette line running from Gospel Oak to Barking Riverside. Ride two stops to Blackhorse Road for the Victoria line, and speedy underground links to Oxford Circus and King's Cross. Even if you're not getting on a train, the station is still worth a visit for craft beer experts Libertalia and Gravity Well Taproom, plus the original Perky Blenders cafe across the road and an ever growing choice of wining and dining options between the station and Tilbury Yard. For another travel option, Leyton tube is around twenty minutes on foot, for speedy, direct connections to Oxford Circus and Liverpool Street via the Central line. Finally, excellent local schools include the Willowbrook, Riverley and Newport primaries, all rated 'Outstanding' by Ofsted at their latest inspections, as well as a great choice of secondaries. A one of a kind family find, with unique, expertly extended architecture and a real showstopping centrepiece. The best of Leyton old and new are both just moments away, along with excellent schools and expansive green space.
