IF YOU LIVED HERE…

With over 956 square feet of immaculate internal space to enjoy, this is a home to love from the very beginning. The fact that it’s located on the ground floor makes it highly accessible for young families and pets, and there are amazing advantages to living in Rookery Court, such as the secure underground car and bike park, which is directly under the apartment and accessed via a lift or stairs (if you don’t have a vehicle you even have the option of renting the space out). There’s also a paid for co-working space and cafe on site via Mainyard Studios where you can book a desk per day. As well as the CCTV, another security perk is the friendly concierge, who are there seven days per week including evenings, and available to take and receive deliveries. This will be a game-changer if you’ve not had the service before!

As for the apartment itself, due to its immaculate decor, sweeping engineered floors and generous windows, the living/kitchen area has a bright yet warm feel. You’ll really appreciate the existing media unit storage and reinforced bracket for large TV, as well as the additional electrical points, featuring doubled glazed with a layer of sound proofing, offering peaceful environment despite its central location and fitted shelving. There’s plenty of space for fitted storage and a breakfast bar, and there’s a new integrated Bosch dishwasher.

All three bedrooms share the same immaculate finish and overlook at the well-maintained communal gardens, and the master even has a sleek ensuite, as well as fitted storage (as does the second bedroom). The smaller room could be perfect for home office if preferred, and it also enjoys access to the private patio. This fantastic space has huge potential and could be used in countless ways. Off the spacious hallway, you’ll find the main bathroom, which is just as smart and modern as the ensuite, as well as more fitted storage. The building was designed with heat efficiency in mind, including modern underfloor heating throughout and a communal heating system.

The communal garden is a highlight for residents and a great place to soak up some sun in the summer, with plenty of space to socialise or relax alone. With 97 apartments in the complex, Rookery Court is known as a friendly micro community, but your building is a low-rise with only two ground floor apartments, a bonus when it comes to peace and quiet.

As for beyond, walk south-west and you’ll in find yourself in the iconic Olympic Park, and just beyond that, Westfield Stratford. Just 20 mins away you’ll find East Bank, the UK’s newest cultural quarter, where the V&A East, BBC Music and Sadler’s Wells are moving into. Closer to home you’ve got Coronation Gardens with its picturesque band stand and landscaped maze. New local? Look out for the anticipated opening of the Leyton Engineer pub, in the fabulous listed old Leyton town hall. Head further north west and 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.
