A spacious, beautifully presented four bedroom terrace house for sale in the sought after Francis Road area of Leytonstone. The spacious accommodation includes an extended dining-kitchen, incorporating a stylish informal family living space, plus a loft conversion to provide a total of four large bedrooms and two bath/shower rooms.
Sat on a popular street with residents’ only parking, this well-maintained property retains many original features, such as the beautifully preserved original front door. The hallway features stylish timber trim and herringbone patterned hardwood flooring which extends into the reception room and family room extension. A door leads to useful storage cellar. The reception room at the front has beautifully crafted built-in storage, an attractive fireplace and feature bay window. The spectacular extended kitchen-dining-family room offers a U-shaped kitchen with an array of high-quality cabinets and a large 6-ring gas hob built into the original fireplace – backed by unique multi-hued tiles to match the backsplashes. There’s also an integrated fridge-freezer, a built-in high-level double oven, an inset Belfast sink and plumbed-in space for a dishwasher and washing machine. Alongside the kitchen area is a generous family dining space with built-in storage, beyond which is the stylish family room extension with a yellow brick feature wall, a large skylight and a set of full height industrial windows and matching crittall-style French doors. The French doors lead out to the 35ft south-east facing garden, with a stone paved terrace and mature borders leading to a second terrace with a built-in booth-style dining area, plus useful covered storage. The first-floor landing has been cleverly re-designed to incorporate access to the second-floor loft extension. The stylish family bathroom has a traditional style WC, a large basin set on a brass stand, a large bathtub with rain and hand-held showers and attractive glazed screen, as well as recently installed under floor heating. Unusual iridescent tiles in multiple tones of dark teal provide the finishing touch to this sophisticated and well-designed space. Bedroom two is a good-sized double with built-in storage and an original cast iron fireplace. Bedroom one is a large double with built-in wardrobes, a Victorian style timber fire surround and a small bay window overlooking the front garden. The stairs to the second floor, which have a skylight above, lead to a small landing providing access to the shower room and two additional bedrooms. The shower room has a WC, a wall-mounted basin and an enclosed shower cubicle. Bedrooms three and four are both generous single rooms, one with a window looking out to the rear and the other with a pair of skylights looking to the front. The Francis Road area of Leytonstone is well known for its many small independent businesses, including shops, cafes, restaurants and pubs, in the beautifully preserved pedestrianised area all of which is just a five-minute walk from the property. Local hospitality highlights include the Yardarm, the Northcote Arms and the Marmelo Kitchen, with its popular supper clubs. Many other amenities can be found in the immediate area, including supermarkets, retail parks and many other businesses, as the property is located perfectly between Leyton Village and Leytonstone. Leyton Central Line tube station and Leyton Midland Road Overground stations are both less than a fifteen-minute walk. This is a perfect location for lovers of outdoor activities, with some of London’s best green spaces within easy reach, including Hollow Pond, Leyton Flats and Wanstead Flats, along with Hackney Marshes and the Walthamstow Wetlands Nature Reserve. Leytonstone Leisure centre, with its gym, swimming pool and fitness classes is a fifteen-minute walk.
What the seller has to sayWe moved into the area 12 years ago and it's fair to say it has been transformed in that time. We have had two children here (now 11 and 6) and are now looking for more space as they become teenagers - not going too far so we can pop back to E11 to visit friends. We will really miss the area with its great pubs, cafes and outdoor spaces!
The neighbours on both sides are lovely - multigenerational families who have lived in the area for longer than we have. There is a real community feeling to this neighbourhood.
We love this house, it's our only idea of home, and we have put years of love and care into it including a loft extension, new kitchen, new bathroom, extended family space and multiple iterations of the garden.
We would love the house to be loved by whoever lives here next!
