This well thought out and refreshed Victorian home lies in a
peaceful group of residential streets just a short stroll from
Leyton town centre, with its global food shops, excellent eateries,
and popular pubs. Inside, vertical cast iron radiators and heated
towel rails warm generously proportioned living spaces and
bathrooms, while the southeast facing garden is both private and a
breeze to maintain.<⁄p>
From the front, a low brick wall complementing the yellow brick
exterior screens a gravelled patio with a handy bike shed. Opening
the gate painted light grey to match the lower bay, sash windows,
and arched entrance follow the tiled path to an elegant recessed
front door with decorative glazing and chrome
furniture.<⁄p>
The outdoor pendant above lights your way into the hallway,
further brightened by a transom window, neutral paintwork, and a
soft cream carpet that runs up the stairs onto both landings, where
the exposed brickwork to your left continues.<⁄p>
Turning right, youll discover a spacious living room enjoying
lots of natural light thanks to a fabulous canted sash bay window
trimmed with gold fixtures. While a crisp white coved ceiling, dado
rail, and light herringbone flooring fuse original features with a
modern palette, striking blue panelled walls offset an exposed
brick chimney breast to draw the eye all anchored by a stylish
central pendant.<⁄p>
Continuing along the hallway, youll pass a contemporary
downstairs cloakroom with a heated towel rail. Here, a bottle green
metro tiled splashback backdrops a blue grey vanity unit
incorporating the toilet cistern and a basin with a black tap and
mirrored cabinet above.<⁄p>
The open plan dining kitchen extends to the rear of the
property. Featuring slat wall panelling to one side and herringbone
flooring to echo the living room, its illuminated by recessed
spots, two skylights, dual aspect windows, and a glazed door to the
garden.<⁄p>
Bright white walls with dado rails, ceiling coving, and sleek
handless cabinetry with white metro tiled splashbacks and
worksurfaces reflect the sunlight to create a vibrant atmosphere
for cooking and entertaining at any time of year. Integrated
appliances include an oven with gas hob and extractor hood, a
concealed fridge freezer. There is also a freestanding washing
machine.<⁄p>
Upstairs, the neutral carpet on the landing flows into two
double bedrooms, the smaller of which has a view of the garden
through a sash window. The largest shares its light, airy d©cor,
while twin sashes with gold fittings face the front, and the
exposed chimney breast and central pendant coordinate with the
living room below.<⁄p>
Both doubles have access to a family bathroom, where
monochromatic beehive tiling to the rainfall shower enclosure
harmonises with the floor tiles and the white metro tiled
splashback.<⁄p>
At the same time, a chandelier style fixture and coving create
an elegance that accentuates a roll top double ended bathtub with
Victorian style taps and a shower attachment beneath the frosted
window. Scandi style mounted shelving units, and a double basin
vanity unit with mirrored cabinets above also offer
storage.<⁄p>
From the landing, a second full staircase rises to the top
floor, where youll find two additional bedrooms, again featuring
neutral paintwork and neutral carpets. Lit by large dual aspect
windows and recessed spots, the rear single would make a lovely,
quiet study.<⁄p>
Across the landing, the final double also feels fresh and bright
thanks to a huge garden facing awning window and a Velux, backed up
by more downlights. Theres room here for a big wardrobe, while the
modern and stylish en suite shower room also lit by a Velux window
follows the black and white tiling scheme in the main
bathroom.<⁄p>
Outside, a slate tiled terrace extends from the garden door in
the dining room to a neat southeast facing lawn, all surrounded by
black painted slatted fencing with mounted outdoor lights. The shed
in the corner has been painted to coordinate, while floodlights to
the extension provide more security and allow you to enjoy this
easy to maintain space well into the evening.<⁄p>
