Just a short stroll from independent shops, breweries and
restaurants alongLeyton High RoadandFrancis Road, yet also within
striking distance of Leytonstones popular eateries and bars, this
beautiful contemporary apartment sits in the heart of it all.
Cosy and bright throughout, the split level interior combines
fresh white walls with engineeredwooden flooring, bespoke joinery
and quality tiling to make the most of the Victorian penchant for
spacious rooms and high ceilings.
Bulwer Road is part of a cluster of residential streets between
the thriving hubs of Leytonstone and Leyton Village, while the flat
itself occupies thefirstfloor of a Victorian terraced home with an
attractive yellow brick exterior and an original tiled pathway
leading to the traditional recessed entrance.
Double glazed windows and thick brick walls insulate the home
from the outside world for a warm and quiet atmosphere thats
apparent as soon as you enter the apartment, finding an area for
hanging coats and storing bags beneath an exposed pendant bulb.
The engineered wood flooring begins here before flowing into the
living room and bedrooms for a cohesive flow. On the lower level,
youll discover thekitchen dinerand bathroom, while a bespoke wooden
mini half landing staircase with in built bookshelves leads to the
living room and both bedrooms.
Fully tiled with stone effect two tone format tiling, the
bathroom is a serene retreat lit by a central fitting and a frosted
window for privacy. Above the bath, with its stylish chrome taps, a
glass screen shields a square headed rainfall shower, served by a
chrome heated towel rail. Youll also find a modern close coupled
toilet, a pedestal basin with taps to match the bath, and a
mirrored medicine cabinet above.
In the kitchen, grey and white walls echo a good range of glossy
two tone Howdens cabinetry, along with the white metro tiled
splashback and the grey format tiles with contrasting grout
underfoot.
A large rear window with storage for recipe books besideit
bathes the dining area in natural light. At the same time,
integrated appliances include aLamonaoven with gashob and extractor
hood, a concealed A Sharp dishwasher, and room for a freestanding
fridge freezer and laundry appliance beneath astainless
steelsink.
Continuing into the living room, the high ceiling and large rear
window, fitted with a Venetian blind, maximise the sense of light
and space, while a bespoke wooden built in bookcase adds a
practical, contemporary touch.
Beyond, the main bedroom is large enough to accommodate a
freestanding wardrobe, bedside tables and drawers, but it also
features a fabulous double awning window with space for window
boxes.
A perfect guest room, nursery or home office, bedroom two shares
a2.8mceiling with the primary bedroom to create a light, airy
