Barclay Road Leytonstone , E11 3DQ

F YOU LIVED HERE...

You'll be stepping through your jet black front door and on up the stairs to your beautiful new pad. Built around 1869, the interior of this Barclay Villa's a masterful blend of eras and aesthetics. Let's start in your substantial 240 square foot lounge - in here streams of south-facing light pour in through a triple set of sash windows. A ceiling rose sits overhead, timber floorboards underfoot, and a vintage onyx fireplace nestles in the fireplace.

Next door and your kitchen/diner's home to a serving hatch, so natural light flows throughout the storey. Pine cabinets flank the walls, tiled backplashes sparkle against stained timber worktops, and French doors open up to a Juliet balcony for the lushest canopy of foliage. Next up and the bathroom comes with a rainfall shower over the tub and vessel sink, while two sublime double bedrooms complete the first floor. Lastly, up on the second storey you'll find your versatile 185 square foot loft room complete with skylights and beams spanning the vaulted ceiling.

Outside and Leytonstone tube station's just a five minute stride away for speedy shuttles to central London courtesy of the Central line. You're just two stops from Stratford if you fancy a swap to the Elizabeth line, DLR or Jubilee line. The shopping mecca of Westfield Stratford City's here too, whenever some retail therapy's in order. Closer to home and the ancient woodland of Bush Wood is six minutes' stroll east and ideal for exploring all of Wanstead's green spaces. If you really want to stretch your legs then wander north into the endless acres of Epping Forest.
