Murchison Road Leyton , E10 6NA

IF YOU LIVED HERE…

Behind all that charming Victorian brickwork, you’ll find 586 square feet of lovingly restored space, with a timeless style that can be enjoyed for many, many years to come.

Your reception room is bright thanks to the bay windows, although the custom plantation shutters give you control over how much light you want to let in. The deep blue decor provides a calming mood, while features such as the wooden floorboards, stunning fire surround and bespoke shelving create an instant impression.

The kitchen-diner is just as pristine. Again, there’s plenty of natural light, while the parquet flooring, forest green units and vintage-style brass fittings keep things stylish.

You’ll find a similar theme in the bathroom, which is traditional in style, with features such as the glossy floor to ceiling metro brick tiles, but still very modern, with an over-tub shower.

As for the bedrooms, they’re both doubles, with more of that pristine decor.

At the rear, you’ll really appreciate the garden, especially when you can enjoy eating or drinking outside. The lawn is a great size, while the planters will be a joy for amateur and pro gardeners alike. The storage shed will be handy, too.

Just beyond your front door, you’ll come across the part-pedestrianised Francis Road, which is now recognised across the capital as a hub thanks to its eclectic mix of eateries and stores, ranging from upmarket deli Yardarm and independent book shop Phlox, to mouth-watering patisserie Morny and independent store Dreamhouse records.

Walk 20 minutes south-west (or hop on the bus if you’re in a hurry) and you’ll in find yourself in the iconic Olympic Park, and just beyond that, Westfield Stratford. Nearby there’s also East Bank, a unique collaboration between world-leading universities, arts and culture institutions. Sadler’s Wells, BBC and V&A are all moving into the area there, so you’re in good company. Even closer to home, you’ll find hidden gem Sidmouth Park, which has a great playground.
