3 bed terraced house for sale

Scotts Road, Leyton E10

A rare find and a brilliantly realised classic, this Freehold three bedroom Victorian terrace has the generous proportions and period features of the era throughout, finished with a sleek modern sensibility, freshly decorated throughout and with scope to extend (STPP). E10's premier social hub of Francis Road is on your doorstep

You have two massive social spaces with both a through lounge and substantial kitchen. Original features are in evidence throughout, from vintage floorboards to mantels, while to the rear your private garden is expertly landscaped.

Not only are the cafes and delis of Francis Road right on your doorstep, but you also have the central line transport links of Leytonstone around a half mile away on foot and a choice of green open spaces just as close.
Your new home


The handsome frontage is all classic London brick with immaculate original mouldings, while inside your through lounge totals around 250 square feet, home to flawlessly restored original timber floorboards. The bay window is dressed in timber bistro shutters, and an immaculately tiled vintage hearth and mantel takes centre stage, with a second, contemporary blank hearth towards the rear. In between you have pristine white paintwork and plenty of open shelving.

Your kitchen has a light, airy feel and lots of space for dining. Cream tilework runs underfoot while a flank of white cabinetry runs down one flank, with pewter accents, timber worktops, a stainless steel extractor hood and a Dublin sink. Lengthy and bright, there's a smart guest WC off to one side and double doors open up onto your rear garden.

Out here a striking cross hatch patio gives way to a length of lush lawn, with bespoke tiered timber planters flourishing down one side and a raised timber deck at the end. Ideal for dining al fresco.

Upstairs now for the sleeping arrangements, and your principal bedroom to the front totals an impressive 150 square feet, bay windowed and bright with tower radiators and floor to ceiling wardrobes either side of the chimney breast. A jet back vintage hearth sits strikingly at centre stage, walls are finished in soft off white and carpet runs underfoot.

Bedrooms two and three are both substantial doubles of well over 100 square feet apiece, no box rooms here, with another classic original hearth in the middle bedroom. In between is your family bathroom; a sleek designer affair with smoke grey metro tilework, floating vanity sink and a walk-in rainfall shower cubicle.

Finally, with that loft space so far unexplored, you can potentially follow in the footsteps of your neighbours and add your own whole new storey (subject to the usual permissions) making this a home that can grow with you and yours.
Your new neighbourhood


Leyton's wining and dining options have exploded in recent years, but Francis Road right on your doorstep remains the local favourite, with a fine range of independent cafes, bars and delis. Tamping Grounds serves up rare brews, Yardarm has you covered for expertly curated vintages and Marmelo Kitchen is the place to go to stock up your larder. You also have one of our best pubs at the south end of the road. The Northcote Arms is an excellent new local with regular events and a charming beer garden. There's also the new kerb Saturday street market and regular pop up events, from silent discos to outdoor cinema courtesy of Francis Road Lates.

All of that's waiting on your doorstep, but you can also take a ten-minute stroll to the arches under Leyton Midland Road station, or the growing offerings at Tilbury Yard, for still more places to eat, drink and relax.

You're equally well served for greenery, with a choice of local parks within a short stroll and the great green expanse of Hackney Marshes around a thirty-minute stroll away.

When it comes to transport not only do you have Leyton Midland Road overground around a half mile away on foot, for the Suffragette overground line, but Leytonstone tube for the central line is just as close. In around ten minutes you can be hopping on a quick direct train to the City, for an enviable door to door commute.
