This timeless two-bedroom home sits in an enviable spot between the rolling green space of Wanstead Flats and the buzzing communities of Leyton, Leytonstone and Forest Gate. You’ve also got multiple public transport options within less than a mile, giving you access to the Central line, Elizabeth line and Overground. As for the home itself, you’ll find two receptions, a first floor bathroom, a spacious rear garden and the ripe potential to develop things further since planning permission has been granted for a ground floor and loft extension.

IF YOU LIVED HERE…

You’ll love the Victorian roots of this home, with its charming features and layout. The fact that you have two separate reception rooms will be a real bonus when you’re looking for a cosy retreat in winter. However, the rear set-up presents a brilliant opportunity if you’re looking renovate and potentially create a huge open plan living room/kitchen area.

Upstairs you’ll find two double bedrooms, as well as a good-sized family bathroom. Again, there’s plenty of storage space, including smarty designed in-built wardrobes in the front room.

Outside you’ll find your rear garden with a spacious lawn and patio - and of course there’s plenty more greenery nearby too, such as Wanstead Flats and Langthorne Park.

Because you’re nicely nestled between Leyton, Leytonstone and Forest Gate, you have plenty of choice when it comes to food and drink. Winchelsea Road is a short hop on foot and has an excellent selection of drinking and dining spots, including Pretty Decent Beer, The Wanstead Kitchen and Wild Goose Bakery. Or head north towards the Grove Green Road hub, where you’ll find more excellent amenities, including Filly Brook, Heathcote & Star and the Northcote. Even closer to home you’ve got the much lauded Singburi, and just beyond, Homies on Donkeys (which won BBC2’s Britain’s Top Takeaway).

This handy positioning means transport is never a problem. Leyton tube is 20 minutes on foot, ensuring you can easily nip to central London on the Central line, while Leytonstone High Road is 15 minutes away, where you can get the Overground between Gospel Oak and Barkingside (perfect for trips to the Essex seaside or Hampstead Heath). Forest Gate is 20 mins away, which means you can enjoy the perks that the Crossrail Elizabeth line brings.

WHAT ELSE?
-As well as all the lovely amenities in the area, you’ll never be stuck for essentials since the Leytonstone High Road is only a few blocks north. Westfield is also within easy reach.
-Drivers can be on the M25 in ten minutes, but it’s not close enough to impact on the peace and quiet that Wanstead Flats brings.
-Parents will be pleased to learn that you have numerous primary/secondaries nearby, plus plenty of playgrounds, such as the one at Langthorne Park, and Cann Hall skate park. The Olympic Park is also easily accessible.

a word from the expert...

"Leytonstone is a unique, eclectic area, home to great gastro pubs like Leytonstone Tavern and The Red Lion, as well as bistro cafés like The Wild Goose Bakery and Back to Ours. There’s also the open green space of Wanstead Flats, a serene getaway from the hustle and bustle of urban life. The area is rich in history, with interesting and beautiful Grade II listed buildings such as St John’s Baptist Church (built in 1832) and Leytonstone House, the 18th-century home of Sir Edward Buxton, a notable MP and conservationist. There’s also St Andrew’s Church, built between 1886 and 1893 as a memorial to local philanthropist William Cotton. Leytonstone Library is a great place to visit if you’re feeling studious, and Leytonstone Leisure Centre is close by for the more active-minded. Wanstead Park, in the former grounds of Wanstead House, features walking trails, cycle paths, and several ornamental lakes — a fantastic place to relax, exercise, and soak up some local history. With an array of buses and the nearby Central Line underground station, you can be in the City and surrounding areas in just minutes."   JOSEPH EARNSHAW E11 BRANCH MANAGER

Our Local Guide:
Leytonstone

Cheneys Road, Leytonstone — Stow Brothers

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.
