Poppleton Road Leytonstone , E11 1LT

IF YOU LIVED HERE...

You'll open your colourful stained glass door into your hallway for light, original timber flooring stretching throughout the ground floor. Turn right into your first reception, packed with vintage allure, from the original ceiling rose and cornicing, to the majestic fireplace and bistro shuttered box bay window. Carry on through your hallway and you'll come across a doorway to your 230 square foot cellar, some handy extra development potential or simply useful extra storage. The second reception room is currently in use as an office but would also make a great playroom for your children.

Next you'll come to your handy ground floor shower room with WC, and a separate utility area with a sink and drainer, worktops and storage cupboards. Finally on this floor, is your impressive, dual aspect kitchen and diner. Home to an integrated dual chef's oven, blonde hardwood cabinets and marbled worktops, everything is bathed in natural light from the full height, timber framed bay window and doorway. Open the door onto your gorgeous, slab stone patio and saunter across your lawn to a second patio at the end of your garden.

Upstairs, you'll find three generous double bedrooms and a sizeable single. The majestic principal sleeper features an ornate, ebony fireplace and another huge, box bay window. The original timber flooring leads you through to the second, third and fourth bedrooms. The rearmost home to another sunny bay window, overlooking the garden, and another ebony, vintage fireplace. Your classic family bathroom completes this floor, with a freestanding, double ended, clawfoot tub and separate stroll in shower.

Outside, you can take a wander down to the vibrant hub of Leyton Midland Road. Under the arches, next to the station, you'll find craft ales at Gravity Well Taproom and delicious bites to eat at Burnt Smokehouse. If Peruvian Japanese fusion food sounds more your flavour, then pop in to Bamboo-Mat for a meal. The popular children's playground and public tennis courts at Abbot's Park are close to hand, in case you want to burn off some energy on the way.
