Capworth Street Leyton , E10 7BA

IF YOU LIVED HERE…

You’d have a huge amount of space to play with. In its current configuration the property comprises commercial spaces on the ground and basement floors, and a three bedroom apartment on the ground and first floor.

The property is in a good condition throughout, but there’s considerable scope for adding value by extension or change of use (or both), subject to obtaining planning permission.

The 27’9” by 16’9” commercial space has a large glass corner frontage with double doors and partly frosted NE and NW facing windows that provide fantastic natural light without too much solar gain. There’s a small kitchenette tucked away at the rear and double glazed doors to the garden. All-white décor complements a large feature exposed brick wall, and an open stair leads down to the basement space, which measures a huge 31’11” by 16’1”. This has a small WC.

The apartment occupies the rear section of the ground floor and all the first floor. It’s accessed via a street door on Leasowes Road that leads directly into a hallway with a door to the main living space, a stair to the first floor, and a built-in storage cupboard. The open-plan living/dining room is over 31 ft long and comprises a lounge area and a kitchen with a door to the garden. There’s lots of light from windows on two sides.

Upstairs there are three double bedrooms and a bathroom. The main bedroom is a generously sized 17’1” by 11’9”, whilst the second and third bedrooms have garden views. The tiled bathroom has a contemporary suite with a bath, and a window for daylight and ventilation. The décor throughout the apartment is fresh and simple with white walls and grey carpet or floor tiles. The windows are double glazed and there’s gas central heating.

Outside, there’s a lovely low maintenance walled garden with a paved terrace that wraps round the property and a central lawn bordered by beds. An independent brick garage at the end of the garden has space for one car but, with electrics, and windows and a door onto the garden, it also has great potential as a garden studio. There’s also a handy outdoor WC in the side return section of the garden and a gate leading to the street.
