At the end of a peaceful cul de sac on the doorstep of a popular
park and Jamaican restaurant, a well rated primary school, and
local haunts lining Leytonstone Road, this generously proportioned
apartment has something to offer everyone.
Accessed by your own front door to the side, the apartment has
been decorated in a neutral colour palette throughout to create
clean lines that pair equally well with mid century furniture or a
contemporary design scheme. In addition, an app controlled Hive
thermostat will always ensure a warm welcome home.
Stepping through the 1930s style panelled front door with
wrought iron detailing to the transom window above, youll arrive in
a spacious L shaped hallway with a storage area to one side and
wooden floorboards running into the bedrooms and living room.
Central pendant lights illuminate the way as you turn left to
discover a modern bathroom refurbished in 2022 . In here, vertical
grey metro tiles with white grout create a stylish splashback to a
bath with a black framed rainfall shower with matt black fixtures.
They also offset a fitted vanity unit integrating the basin and a
toilet cistern with a matt black flush for a clean feel. As well as
this, youll spot a chrome heated towel rail, and a frosted window
with a fitted blind for light and privacy.
At the end of the hallway, youll discover a recently refreshed
kitchen overlooking the front garden through a picture window with
casements to either side. While the lower cabinets are painted in
deep green, the upper cabinets have been kept white to reflect the
abundant natural light an effect echoed by the white metro tiled
splashback.
Integrated appliances include a Bosch oven with a gas hob and
stainless steel overhead extractor hood to match the sink and
drainer. However, youll also find space for a fridge freezer and
washing machine, plus a tall green cupboard for extra storage.
Opposite the kitchen and facing the front garden this time via a
wide window with side casements the living room enjoys character
touches, such as an exposed original fireplace with a black painted
ornate mantelpiece, dado rails, and a high ceiling trimmed with
decorative coving. Wooden blinds also complement the exposed
floorboards and the wooden bookshelves above a fitted alcove
bench.
Meanwhile, the calming cream wall tones repeat in the bedrooms
right of the hallway, which both feature big windows to draw in
light and pendant fittings. The largest is a great sized double
with plenty of room for a wardrobe, drawers and other
furniture.
Lying just beside the primary double, the second bedroom, which
also fits a double bed, would make a lovely home office, snug or
nursery, feels exceptionally bright and warm during the afternoon
when the sun streams in ideal for enjoying a coffee over your
computer, reading, or letting your little one play.
Outside, you have two gardens to choose from. Enclosed by a
timber fence and gate installed in 2021, the front garden, with its
granite sett paved area and lawn with beech hedge and lavender,
captures the sun on winter mornings and all day during the summer.
In the early spring lush wisteria and black tulips spring creating
a delightful scent.
Facing south west, the large rear garden is also a fantastic
summer sun trap. Lying at the end of a short pathway and enclosed
by fencing, its divided between a lawn, a paved terrace and a
raised brick edged vegetable patch served by a sizable garden
shed.
The perfect setting for pottering around and al fresco meals,
the rear garden also plays host to an annual cherry harvest
barbeque the cherry tree produces so much fruit youll have plenty
to share with friends.
A NOTE FROM THE OWNERS
What initially sold me on the flat was the amount of daylight.
The garden is also a huge part of why I love this place because its
so peaceful. Ive also loved the arrival of the Lizzy line, as
family arriving from Heathrow can come directly to us. Its so well
located between Wanstead Flats and the Olympic Park that were
spoilt for outdoor space.

Leytonstone, Hatfield Road combines the highlights of East London
living with easy access to various green spaces, allowing residents

For example, The Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park sporting complex is
just a mile away and offers everything from swimming, running,
cycling, and tennis opportunities to live sports events at the
