Just minutes from the green playground of Wanstead Flats and the buzz of High Road Leytonstone, you'll discover this bright and thoughtfully-decorated first-floor Victorian maisonette with its own private garden.
Inside, a contemporary colour palette and clever storage make the most of the light-filled space, while the kitchen and bathroom were completely refurbished in 2017 and 2018 respectively.
Beneath an arched brick porch, the original green triple-panelled Victorian front door invites you into a hallway with practical coir matting and an area to hang coats.
Straight ahead, stairs rise to a fresh, white-painted landing with carpet underfoot, a handy storage cupboard, and access to the loft.
In the front-facing living room, two large double-glazed windows bathe the separate sitting and dining areas in natural light. The beautiful original fireplace surround draws you into the heart of the room, which is decorated in calming neutral tones with stone-hued walls, soft grey carpet and modern chrome curtain poles. Bespoke alcove shelving and cupboards - ingeniously made with reclaimed wood from early 1900s doors - add further warmth and practicality.
Off the landing, you'll also find the primary bedroom - a good-sized carpeted double with a window to the rear and rich ochre paintwork. There's also space here for a wardrobe and a chest of drawers.
Beyond lies the bathroom, illuminated by downlights and a side window with privacy glass. Crisp white metro wall tiles and a hexagonal mosaic tiled floor are paired with a Japanese-style enamel bath with wood-effect tiled panel; while a generous overhead rainfall shower gives a clean, contemporary look. There's a chrome heated towel rail; stylish vanity basin with matching chrome mixer tap; a mirrored wall cabinet; and a close-coupled loo.
Along to the kitchen, which features a white metro tiled splashback and sleek handless white gloss cabinets complemented by solid oak worktops and Victorian-style patterned floor tiles. Appliances include an undermounted sink with mixer tap; a stainless steel AEG oven, four-ring gas hob and extractor hood; plus an integrated fridge.
The second bedroom lies beyond the kitchen. Decorated with soft grey tones, it would make a lovely guest room or home office. From here, a door opens to a garden-facing utility with timber windows and ample room for a washer/dryer.
Head down a second set of stairs to find a decked garden, which enjoys the sun from late morning until early evening. Enclosed by timber and bamboo fencing, there's a small porch area for storing the barbeque; a shed to the back; and plenty of space for tables, chairs and pot plants.
A NOTE FROM THE OWNERS
"The living room is a place we eat, play, hang out and host family and friends. We've both happily worked from home here and the double window aspect provides a really good natural light, while the fireplace gives the property a lovely period feel."
