Just seconds from the beautiful green expanse of Wanstead Flats
on one of the most coveted streets in Bushwood, this four bedroom
Victorian terraced home would make the perfect live in passion
project for someone looking to breathe new life into a characterful
period gem.
Inside, youll discover spacious, light filled rooms with high
ceilings and original details, including intricate ceiling
mouldings, picture rails, and Victorian tiling. Meanwhile, an
enclosed and mature 48ft south facing garden offers plenty of
outdoor space for families or entertaining.
Youll find Leybourne Road nestled in a cluster of quiet, leafy
streets between the restaurant strewn high street and the southern
tip of Epping Forest. Behind a front patio screened by a low brick
wall, the smart London Stock brick exterior offsets a full height
collonaded bay window and ornate mouldings to the entrance porch,
which features original Victorian tiles.
Step through the porch into the hallway, where youll find in
built storage and access to a handy storage cellar beneath the
stairs. To the right of the hall, a large canted bay window fills
the front living room with natural light, while detailed coving and
ceiling mouldings nod to the propertys heritage.
Theres another reception overlooking the side return behind,
which, like the living room, has storage space to the alcoves on
either side of the chimney breast. Carry on to the rear of the
house to reach a smaller third reception room, lit by a large side
window. Its currently being used as a recording studio but would
make a fantastic home study or could be reconfigured with the
adjoining kitchen behind to make a large open plan dining kitchen.
The kitchen is spacious, fully functional and leads through into a
triple aspect sunroom with part glazed double garden doors.
Head upstairs onto a split level landing with an in built
storage cupboard. Brightened by the upper bay window, the primary
bedroom fills the front and comes with a three piece en suite
bathroom. The second double bedroom lies behind and features alcove
storage and a big window to the side return, but youll also
discover two further bedrooms on the lower landing, one of which
faces the garden. Theres also a separate three piece family
bathroom.
Back in the sunroom, double doors and steps lead down to a long
lawn completely screened from being overlooked by mature trees,
shrubs, and flower borders. On the rear patio, a decent sized
wooden shed provides extra storage, but theres also room for bikes,
bins, or pot plants on the patio area running down the side return.
Facing south, the garden like the house glows with potential as a
tranquil oasis from urban life.
