North Birkbeck Road Leytonstone , E11 4JQ

IF YOU LIVED HERE...

You'll have over 1000 square feet of lovingly designed and developed living space to luxuriate in, from that handsome brick frontage on in. Richly restored original timber floorboards run underfoot in your hallway, with ornate original mouldings set into the high ceilings and timber staircase rising ahead. On your left you have the twenty-one foot deep through lounge, dual aspect and home to striking tower radiators and a pair of vintage hearths.

To the rear, your 150 square foot kitchen is just as impressive, naturally bright thanks to its own box bay window and a handsome suite of cream cabinets with brass fittings, sat below timber worktops and set against an enticing exposed brick backsplash. Step out into your garden here for a secluded sun trap of a courtyard, overseen by mature greenery. Back inside and the first of two bathrooms completes the ground floor, classically stylish with chessboard flooring, freestanding clawfoot tub and corner shower cubicle.

Upstairs, and your bedrooms are all characterfully finished in boutique hotel chic. Your 165 square foot principal sleeper sits to the front, elegantly bedecked in royal blue with a striking statement wall over the bed and classic bistro shutters on the windows. Next door, bedroom two's another double with its own style and palette, while bedroom three to the rear is currently in use as a splendid home office and dressing room. Finally, your second bathroom is a polished affair, with emerald green herringbone tiling from floor to ceiling, plus oversized rainfall shower cubicle.

Outside and Leyton tube station is less than ten minutes walk for the central line and direct, eleven minute runs to Liverpool Street for a speedy City commute. Tottenham Court Road is just nine minutes further, so even the West End is just a half hour away door to door. If you're staying local you'll find the independent cafes and coffee shops of Francis Road just a half mile away on foot, and there's a fine choice of bars and restaurants on nearby Winchelsea Road, less than fifteen minutes walk away.
