If you lived here...

This classic Victorian home showcases handsome London stock brickwork, refined detailing, and a distinctive bay window that lends depth and character to the frontage. Crisp painted accents emphasise the period character, while a driveway provides convenient off-street parking.

Inside, a welcoming hallway leads through to a well-proportioned reception room to the rear, where soft green panelling, rich-toned flooring, and built-in shelving create a graceful yet relaxed atmosphere. The space flows naturally into a dining area, where patterned tiles and large glazed doors open directly onto the garden, filling the room with sunlight and framing lovely views of the greenery beyond.

Outside, a generous stretch of lawn bordered by mature planting creates a peaceful continuation of the home’s interior. Its seamless connection to the living space makes it ideal for relaxed summer dining or simply enjoying a quiet moment outdoors.

In the kitchen, a sense of calm and balance continues, with white cabinetry, tiled flooring, and wooden work surfaces adding warmth and contrast. A glazed door also opens to the outdoor space, maintaining a sense of continuity throughout the home.

Both bedrooms are bright and well presented, with the main room featuring a graceful bay window fitted with plantation shutters, and the second offering a soothing, neutral backdrop. The bathroom, finished in soft tones with tiled walls and a full-sized bath, completes this characterful property, a home that combines period charm with light, inviting spaces and an effortless connection to the outdoors.

A word from the expert

“I have called Leytonstone home for five years and have grown to love its eclectic character. From gastro pubs like Leytonstone Tavern and The Red Lion to bistro cafés such as The Wild Goose Bakery and Back to Ours, there is always somewhere new to enjoy. Wanstead Flats offers a peaceful green escape from city life. The area is rich in history, with Grade II listed landmarks including St John’s Baptist Church from 1832 and Leytonstone House, once home to Sir Edward Buxton. St Andrew’s Church, built in the late 19th century as a memorial to William Cotton, is another striking landmark. On quieter days, Leytonstone Library is a welcoming spot, while Leytonstone Leisure Centre is ideal if you are feeling active. Nearby Wanstead Park has walking trails, cycle paths and lakes, perfect for unwinding. With plenty of bus routes and the Central line close by, the City is only minutes away”.
