Elegant bohemia, contemporary design and classic Victoriana unite in perfect harmony at this extended three bedroom terraced house in Leytonstone's highly-prized Bushwood neighbourhood, edged by the vibrant High Road to the west and beautiful Wanstead Flats to the east.
You know you're in for a treat by simply standing at the front: the painstakingly restored checkerboard mosaic pathway; the lovingly planted front garden, and the dapper front door painted in Farrow & Ball's Stiffkey Blue with perfectly buffed brassware… The outside often says so much about the inside, and your expectations won't be dashed.
Improvements include new double glazed sash windows with brushed steel cup handles; replacement panelled doors with black victorian rim locks and gas fired central heating.
Over the threshold and into the hall you're met by gorgeous solid oak floors that continue throughout the original ground floor. The front-to-back living and dining space has a lovely square bay window and a fireplace with tiled cast iron insert, painted mantelpiece and tiled hearth, along with original cornicing, ceiling rose and skirting.
While the kitchen has been created from a new extension and is accessed from the entrance hall, a large cutout in the back wall of the dining room provides a sociable connection while keeping the two rooms separate.
White cupboards with brushed steel handles are paired with solid oak woodblock worktops and a contemporary belfast sink. Integrated appliances include fridge/freezer, dishwasher and stainless steel electric oven, extractor hood and gas hob. The white metro tiles on the wall and white honeycomb floor mosaic are twinned with contemporary anthracite grouting, while plentiful light comes in from the Velux above, a window overlooking the garden and the door leading outside.
The first floor retains the classic layout of a large bedroom across the front of the house and another immediately behind it, while the third has been repurposed to make an unusually large and somewhat glamorous bathroom on the half landing. Here you can indulge in the freestanding roll-top bath with its backdrop of royal blue painted timber panelling, paired with a large, Victorian-style pedestal wash basin and matching loo. A modern take on the Victorian school radiator sits below the window.
Up on the top floor, the recent loft conversion provides a large main bedroom suite with its own shower room, and there's plenty of light with a large Velux to the front and dormer windows to the rear. The bedroom has useful eaves cupboards, while the shower room features white metro tiles with anthracite glazing to both the glazed shower cubicle and wash basin.
Outside, the garden is entirely paved in large format limestone slabs with the end wall and kitchen door painted in Farrow & Ball's Stiffkey Blue to continue the theme set by the front door. Liberally planted borders and plentiful overhanging greenery help to create a contemporary and verdant setting.
Grove Road is part of a group of residential streets that form Bushwood, the most in-demand of all the Leytonstone neighbourhoods. Super convenient, delightfully neighbourly and sandwiched between the beautiful green spaces of Wanstead Flats and the bustling East London vibe of Leytonstone, it's a location for those that want the best of both worlds and everything at their fingertips. Bushwood even has its own residents association, newspaper and even a yearly street festival!
Name a happening Leytonstone venue and you'll find it within a few minutes walk; The North Star, The Birds and The Red Lion pubs; Wild Goose Bakery; Perky Blenders; Luna Lounge; The Stone Space Gallery and more... All are within a short stroll and give you somewhere to go to, morning, noon and night.
Local primary schools include George Tomlinson Primary School (Ofsted Good), Our Lady of Lourdes (Ofsted Good) and Davies Lane Primary School (Ofsted Outstanding). Getting around - and into - town is a cinch with Leytonstone tube about 8 minutes walk and Central Line trains (24 hours at weekends) direct to the City and West End as well as Stratford for Westfield, East Village, and a swift change to the DLR for Canary Wharf. There's also rarely a moment when there isn't a bus going somewhere down the High Road.
