Perfectly positioned moments from Hollow Ponds and the vast open spaces of Epping Forest, this impressive five-bedroom Victorian semi-detached home offers over 2,000 square feet of beautifully arranged living space. Combining period proportions with thoughtful updates, it’s perfectly placed to enjoy the best of Upper Leytonstone, while Wanstead, Leyton and central Leytonstone are all within easy reach.
Inside you’ll find three generous reception rooms, a striking open-plan kitchen and dining room, three bathrooms, and a useful cellar, while outside there’s a private rear garden with side access and driveway at the front. The fact that there’s potential to extend is the icing on the cake, making this a rare opportunity to own an exceptional family home in one of East London’s most desirable neighbourhoods.
IF YOU LIVED HERE…
Stepping through the striking Victorian entrance, you’re immediately struck by the wonderful sense of space and proportion. Retaining plenty of period character, the home offers generous rooms, high ceilings and an abundance of natural light throughout, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
At the front of the house, the bright reception room provides a calm setting for relaxing or entertaining, while two further reception spaces offer excellent flexibility for family life, formal dining or a home office. To the rear, the spacious kitchen/diner forms the natural hub of the home, with ample room for cooking, dining and gathering together, alongside direct access to the garden.
Outside, the generous rear garden offers plenty of space to enjoy throughout the seasons, with a spacious lawn and sun trap rear patio. Side access adds everyday practicality, while the cellar provides useful additional storage.
Upstairs, four bedrooms are complemented by three bathrooms, including an en suite to the master bedroom (which also has built-in storage), creating a versatile layout that’s perfectly suited to growing families, guests or those working from home.
Outside, Leytonstone tube station is 0.6 miles. Sitting in Zone 3 on the Central line, from here you have direct 14 minute trips to Liverpool Street, putting the City less than 45 mins away door to door.
Meanwhile, Hollow Ponds is only moments away, offering boating lakes, woodland walks and direct access into the ancient landscapes of Epping Forest. In the other direction, you’ll find the eateries, bars and independent shops that have made Leyton, Leytonstone and neighbouring Wanstead some of East London’s most sought-after destinations.
Francis Road has become one of the capital’s best-loved neighbourhood high streets, home to favourites including Yardarm, Phlox Books and a amazing collection of independent coffee shops and boutiques. Around Leyton Midland Road you’ll discover Burnt Smokehouse and Gravity Well Taproom, while Grove Green Road is home to much-loved locals’ pubs including The Filly Brook, Heathcote & Star and The Northcote Arms. Leytonstone High Road offers even more choice, with FORNO, Homies on Donkeys, Mum Likes Thai Food and Panda Dim Sum all nearby, while Wanstead High Street provides an altogether different atmosphere, with stylish restaurants, wine bars, cafés and independent retailers.

- For drinks with a view, The Sir Alfred Hitchcock Hotel - a nod to the area’s most famous former resident, a few minute away. The excellent Arte e Pasta now operate the kitchen.
- Head south-east via the Bushwood area - renowned for its wide, tree-lined streets of grand Victorian and Edwardian homes - and you’ll find the Wanstead Flats.
- A short bus ride takes you to the iconic Olympic Park, and just beyond that, Westfield Stratford, which won’t need an introduction. Nearby there’s also East Bank, a unique collaboration between world-leading universities, arts and culture institutions, including Sadler’s Wells, BBC and V&A.

a word from the expert..
"Being a country girl at heart, for me Wanstead is the perfect blend of village/city living. With excellent transport links into the city, I often meet up with friends to explore the wonders of London. But I also enjoy going for long, leafy walks with Hollow Ponds and Wanstead Park on my doorstep. I was first attracted to Wanstead by its charming High Street, lush green spaces and choice of excellent schools. Since moving here, I have discovered some new favourites — for breakfast La Bakerie, lunch at Otto and The Duke for the best roast around. I love to stay active, and here in Wanstead you have lots to choose from. From organised yoga at Christ Church Green, personal training sessions at Target Fit or jogging around the various nature trails of Epping Forest. There is a great sense of community here in Wanstead, with informative Facebook groups, street parties, a monthly farmers’ market and the local jumble trail. I have made many friends locally, there is a genuine community spirit here and I am proud to call Wanstead my home." KYLI CLAYTON E11 BRANCH MANAGER

Our Local Guide:
Leytonstone
There’s more to Leytonstone than first meets the eye. Say the name to one person and they might think of the grand houses around Hollow Ponds, while say it to someone else and they’ll mention burgeoning South Leytonstone, or maybe the popular Bushwood. There are many different pockets, but they’re all united by the same inclusive community who recognise that it’s the balance of it all that makes Leytonstone so great.
The centre is arguably the high street with its eclectic shops and eateries, but you only have to venture slightly further away and you’ll come across hidden gems like bar Filly Brook on Grove Green Road, music venue Luna Lounge in Bushwood, or the The Hitchcock Hotel in Upper Leytonstone. Travel a little beyond and you’ll find further contrast with the vast green space that Hollow Ponds and the Wanstead Flats provide. Simply put, you’ll never get bored in Leytonstone.

Transport links
Just two stops from Stratford, Leytonstoners can nip to the Kent coast with surprising ease, but Central London or the City on the tube might be more useful - the former takes about 25 mins and the latter 15 mins. Easy.
Great Pubs
Too many pubs to choose from… What a problem to have. With The Red Lion, Heathcote and Star, The Hitchcock Hotel, The North Star, Leytonstone Tavern, locals are spoilt for choice. Better bring your pub crawl A-game if you visit.
Plenty of period property
Despite all the urban bustle, Leytonstone has an abundance of wide, tree-lined streets brimming Victorian and Edwardian property, ranging from the grand homes in Upper Leytonstone, a stone’s throw from Hollow Ponds, to the many terraces of South Leytonstone, and the popular community of Bushwood with its active residents’ association.
