Set within the heart of Bushwood s characterful residential
streets, just a few minutes from Leytonstone High Road s buzzing
caf s and restaurants, a 24 hour gym and a live music venue, but
only 9 minutes from Leytonstone Tube and just across the road from
serene open space of Wanstead Flats, the location of this first
floor flat perfectly fuses tranquillity with convenience.
Featuring two double bedrooms, a separate living room and a good
sized kitchen and bathroom, the property is ready to move into yet
offers a rare opportunity for someone looking to buy a blank canvas
to realise their design dreams. It also comes with a share of
freehold, with the current lease remaining for the next 900
years.
You ll find Bushview at the quieter cul de sac end of Mornington
Road. One of the smaller blocks of brick built apartments in the
vicinity, it s surrounded by period homes that give the street a
peaceful, family friendly vibe. Tucked around the back, you ll find
a private driveway belonging to the building and individual garages
for each flat, but there s also permit parking available on the
street.?
Opening the wrought iron gate in the low brick wall, you ll pass
a well kept front lawn and a paved path leading to a secure
canopied entrance with individual letterboxes and an intercom
system.
On the first floor, a front door with a chrome letterbox and
peephole opens into a hallway with a handy integrated storage
cupboard for coats and shoes.
Brightened by an internal glazed wall, the neutral paintwork and
cream carpet underfoot flow into the adjoining living room, which
feels lovely and light thanks to the large east facing picture and
awning windows with blinds and curtail rail to the rear. A modern
central light fitting further illuminates a footprint that can
easily accommodate a dining table alongside a big sofa and
television.
Adjacent, you ll find a generously sized wrap around kitchen
with a tiled floor and splashback to offset plenty of wall and base
cabinetry with chrome handles and a contrasting black worktop.
There s an integrated double oven to one side, a gas hob to the
other, a stainless steel sink, and space for an undercounter fridge
and a laundry appliance. A big, in built cupboard also provides
storage for essential household items.
Return to the hallway to find a fully tiled bathroom containing
a bath with a handheld shower attachment, folding glass screen, and
extractor; a vanity basin unit with a mirrored cabinet above; and a
close couple toilet.
Fitted with cream carpets, the double bedrooms face the west via
large front windows that capture the evening light. They re both
lit by pendant lights, while the main double also features two
integrated wardrobes, along with an in built dressing table and
drawers.
Outside, the building s residents can enjoy an east facing
communal lawn screened by high fences and filled with vibrant and
colourful flowering plants and shrubs to the borders. A lovely
seating area for moments of quiet reflection also overlooks the
garden.
