2 bed flat for sale

Albert Road, Leyton E10

A generously proportioned period conversion, naturally bright, light and airy and finished to an immaculate standard throughout. There's also a garden to the rear and you're just steps away from E10's premier social hub of Francis Road, greenery and transport options.

The high ceilings and generous room sizes of the original architecture are very much in evidence, particularly in the substantial, bay windowed spaces that bookend the property. In between, your kitchen and bathroom are both finished to an impressive standard.

Francis Road is just a couple of steps away, with the much loved Albert & Francis cafe marking the intersection, and a wealth of independent coffee spots, delis and bars within easy reach. You also have a choice of parks within a short stroll.
Your new home


Step inside and you're immediately in the 190 square foot front lounge, with artfully restored original timber floorboards underfoot and soft smoky paintwork up to the picture rail. The broad bay window is half frosted for privacy, and lets in a wealth of natural light, while an original hearth and mantelpiece take centre stage in the statement sage green chimney breast.

Bedroom one is next door, a 100 square foot double with striking violet and white colour scheme, more vintage floorboards, high ceilings and a garden view. Your bathroom keeps the standard high, decked out in classic metro tiles from top to bottom, chessboard vinyl underfoot and a shower over the tub.

Move on down the hallway, light and airy with pastel mint green paintwork and more original blonde floorboards and the kitchen is on your left. It's another striking space, with more glorious metro tiles from floor to ceiling, and also serving as an eye catching splashback above the chunky timber worktops.

Here's also where you access the garden, a south east facing suntrap, with a raised timber deck descending to a lush length of lawn, flanked by beds and timber fencing. It's barely overlooked, thanks to your end terrace status, and is the perfect spot to enjoy a morning coffee.

Back inside, and everything's completed by your second bedroom, another sizeable double of over 120 square feet, full of light thanks to the large bay window, handsomely dressed in bistro shutters.

Soft carpet runs underfoot, grey paintwork runs up the picture rail and you have a wonderful view of the garden.
Your new neighbourhood


Francis Road is still Leyton's premier social hub. Even as more and more great pubs and restaurants pop up all over E10, Francis Road offers the original array of independent cafes, bars and delis, all right on your doorstep.

Yardarm is a tremendous wine bar offering an expertly curated range of vintages as well as regular tasting evenings. Dreamhouse Records lets you sip a coffee as you browse the vinyl racks, and the Saturday kerb street market is great for street food and fresh produce.

There are also regular pop up events, from outdoor film screenings to silent discos, courtesy of Francis Road Lates. It's one of our favourite, friendliest micro communities.

Your new home is handy for so much else as well. Coronation Gardens, Sidmouth Park, Abbotts Park and Jack Cornwell Park are all around a ten minute walk away, featuring playgrounds and tennis courts as well as a great choice of picnic spots and running routes.

For transport connections, you have Leyton tube just a half mile away on foot, for the Central line and direct runs to the City and West End. From here you can get to Liverpool Street in just nine minutes direct. An enviable door to door commute.

Alternatively, Leyton Midland Road Overground is just as close, for the Suffragette line running to Barking Riverside and the Thames. Explore under and around the arches here and you'll find plenty more wining and dining spots, from Gravity Well Taproom to the award winning Burnt Smokehouse.
