Moments from High Road Leyton, this wonderful two bedroom
converted flat features a stylised design scheme that uses natural
materials, tones, and textures to highlight its bright, well
proportioned rooms.
Outside, colonnaded bay windows with foliage capitals and a
decorative arched entrance to the recessed front door complement a
traditional Victorian brick frontage. But once you step into the
hallway and come to the split level landing, a chic aesthetic
presides in the form of white painted floorboards, stripped wooden
handrails, and copper light fittings.
In the bathroom to your left, a frosted awning window illuminates
large white tiles offset by black grouting. The chrome heated towel
rail echoes the taps and fixtures to a deep bath with glass
screened overhead shower, a pedestal basin, and a close couple loo,
with stripped wooden shelves and wall hooks attractive and
practical touches.
Straight ahead in the kitchen, grey floor tiles subtly pair with
the sherbet tones to the wall cabinetry, while lush green base
cabinets and open wood shelving inject a natural flavour to the
scheme. A stainless steel sink and a gas hob with overhead
extractor sit above a white worktop with tiled splashback, with a
Zanussi oven and space for a fridge and laundry appliance beneath
the counter. The kitchen also feels very bright and cheerful thanks
to the large rear window and high ceiling.
From the upper landing, turn right to find a rear facing double
bedroom with recessed shelving and a copper pendant light fitting.
The living room lies at the front of the apartment, where a canted
bay window bathes the high ceiling, white walls, and the beautiful
exposed brick fireplace and stove in a warm glow. A second window
overlooks the dining area, with a stylish mounted bulb and copper
fittings completing the cosy effect.
Return to the landing, where lemon sherbet risers to the second
staircase invite you up to the loft conversion. From a big picture
window and three skylights offering fantastic city views to a soft
cream carpet, wooden accents, and ample wardrobes and eaves
storage, the top floor is an exclusive space that perfectly suits a
principal bedroom.
