Independent mortgage advice

Set on a quiet cul-de-sac in Upper Leytonstone, this fantastically bright two-double-bedroom 1960s home offers an impressive sense of space, bags of character, a generous private garden, a first-floor bathroom, a separate garage, and a wonderful blend of period charm with contemporary convenience.

Hollow Ponds, on the edge of Epping Forest, is just a short stroll away, while Leytonstone station provides excellent transport links. The desirable Wanstead and Bushwood areas are also within easy walking distance, offering a wealth of shops, restaurants, and green spaces.

IF YOU LIVED HERE…

You’ll appreciate the classic design of this home, steeped in history. The name “Corbicum” comes from historical local land ownership, referring to Walter de Corpechun (or Corbutio), whose family held estates in Leyton documented as far back as the Domesday Book in 1086.

Approaching the property’s classic 1960s frontage, you immediately notice the mid-century design that continues throughout. Inside, the reception features open-style stairs that are as stylish as they are practical, enhancing the sense of space, while generous windows fill the room with natural light. From here, the door opens onto a charming, secluded garden, lush with foliage yet easy to maintain.

The kitchen is a bright, inviting space, with smart white units contrasting beautifully with timber flooring.

Upstairs, you’ll find two immaculate double bedrooms and a bathroom that blends vintage style with modern practicality, perfectly complementing the home’s overall character.

As for the location, you’ve hit the jackpot. You’re a short walk from the much-loved taqueria Homies on Donkeys, winner of BBC Two’s Britain’s Top Takeaway, while the thriving Grove Green Road neighbourhood is a similar distance, offering further highlights such as the eclectic, multi-purpose Filly Brook.

You’re also within easy reach of the Bushwood area, home to more local favourites including the North Star, a welcoming pub renowned for its winning combination of Thai food and pizza.

Needs to escape further afield? Leytonstone tube is a short stroll, where you can nip into the West End in less than half an hour.

WHAT ELSE?

- As well as being close to Leytonstone tube for the Central line, Leytonstone High Road station is slightly further for the Gospel Oak to Barkingside line.
- Despite the abundance of local amenities, there’s a surprising amount of green space close by. Head southand you’ll reach Wanstead Flats. And of course, Hollow Ponds, at the edge of Epping Forest, is also within easy walking distance.
- For drinks with a view, The Sir Alfred Hitchcock Hotel - a nod to the area’s most famous former resident - is a short stroll. The excellent Arte e Pasta now operate the kitchen.

a word from the owner....

"I have lived here for a very long time and will find it hard to leave behind those things that I have loved while living here. Changes in seasons so apparent, the Spring and the Fall, as we are encompassed in greenery, which I have enjoyed from my windows every day, both in summertime when the trees are in leaf and in winter when bird life becomes more visible with the bare branches. Also for years I have enjoyed the benefits of living in close proximity to the Central Line, a few minutes walk, as well as the Suffragette overhead line running from Leyton and Leytonstone, about a 12 minute walk away. I also value enormously living in such close proximity to Epping Forest, which is about a 7 minute walk away and stretches practically uninterrupted as far as Epping. This is such a quiet and snug hideaway from the busy-ness of London living that it is far too important not to include this in the reasons why I have loved living here."

Our Local Guide:
Leytonstone

Corbicum, 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.
