Henniker Road, Maryland, London, E15

Mere moments from Leytonstone High Road, this one-bedroom first-floor apartment is spacious and enjoys lots of lovely natural light. In 2016, the flat was fully renovated, with a new kitchen, bathroom, new sockets and wiring, along with, new flooring, doors, new central heating system and boiler.

As you step inside the property, you’ll immediately notice the clean, mid-century-inspired aesthetic that continues throughout, finished with Lick paintwork. The theme begins in the generously sized hallway, which features useful storage and striking deep green and white tones split across the walls and doors, while the high-quality laminate flooring underfoot flows into every room except the tiled bathroom.

To your left lies a recently repainted, large double bedroom with a bold blue wall that melds into the ceiling, creating a calming yet impactful backdrop for any headboard, complete with black reading lamps mounted to either side. A large casement window and a central pendant further brighten the space.

At the end of the hall in the living room, dual casements with fitted blinds and a stylish pendant again illuminate a modern minimalist reception that’s perfect for entertaining.

Meanwhile, across the hall, a white metro tile splashback with contrasting grouting complements white cabinetry with integrated handles and a solid wood worktop to echo the floor and the open shelving above the breakfast table area.

Crisp white walls reflect light from another twin casement with fitted blinds, plus the bright orange fitting to the central pendant brings a cheerful pop of colour. You’ll also find an integrated oven with a gas hob and extractor hood, a stainless-steel sink, and an integrated fridge-freezer and dishwasher.

Finally, the bathroom features sleek white wall tiles that provide a clean and fresh atmosphere to chime with the contemporary basin vanity unit and close-coupled toilet. Served by a chrome heated towel rail, a rainfall shower head with a handheld attachment above a bath with a frameless glass screen adds a sense of luxury. An obscured, deep-set window and a mirrored cabinet also make this a bright yet private and practical retreat.

A NOTE FROM THE OWNER

‘The flat is a relaxing and calm space to live and work in. The local area is surrounded by green space, which is very important to us. Aside from that, the best thing about the flat is that it is so well positioned for everything London offers with the plethora of local transport options. We can be anywhere in Central London door to door within 20 minutes and the City and Shoreditch inside in 15 minutes. We will really miss the flat!’
