Tennyson Road, London, E15

Just a short walk from Stratford High Street, Stratford Station, Westfield Shopping Centre, Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, and leafy green spaces, this bright and spacious two-bedroom rental property comes with lifestyle built-in.

You’ll find the house on a residential street filled with period terraced homes, a few minutes' stroll from the tennis courts at Stratford Park. Inside, the house has been stylishly furnished throughout, with pops of colour to contrast with the neutral paintwork and high-quality flooring and tiling.

Step through into the hallway, where the crisp white paintwork and laminate flooring continue in the living room to your right. Here, high coved walls with a dado rail and a central rose add a characterful touch to this reception space, lit by a large bay window with lower privacy panes and a fitted blind.

Beyond the hallway, spotlights brighten a good-sized dining kitchen that overlooks the side return through an awning window and leads to a utility space with garden access and tiled flooring to match the kitchen. Integrated appliances include a Bosch oven with a gas hob and extractor hood and an LEC fridge-freezer.

Pass the utility, to find a modern bathroom lit by a side window with a white metro-tiled splashback, a corner shower enclosure, a vanity basin unit with an overhead mirrored cabinet, a toilet and a towel rail.

Back in the kitchen, newly carpeted stairs rise to the landing, where the laminate flooring underfloor flows into both double bedrooms. With a view to the garden, bedroom one features cheerful ‘Dayroom Yellow’ Farrow & Ball paintwork and loft access.

Meanwhile, the picture rail and coving repeat in the front double, where soft ‘Nancy’s Blushes’ wall tones pair with twin front windows with fitted blinds to create a calming space for sleeping or working from home.

Outside, high green fence panels screen the Mediterranean-style courtyard garden from view. Kota blue limestone slabs allow you to step across the gravel to reach the painted wooden planters while thriving jasmine and fuchsias bring scent and colour. Expect the sun from the late morning through to early evening.

 IN THE NEIGHBOURHOOD

 Dubbed by many as an up-and-coming area ripe with investment opportunities, the E15 postcode blends rich cultural diversity with multiple open green spaces.

 At its heart, Stratford offers the biggest shopping centre in Europe (with generous parking space) and state-of-the-art facilities in the Olympic Aquatics Centre at the Olympic Park, which enjoys serene riverside spots, playgrounds, outdoor gym equipment, running routes and cycle paths.

Meanwhile, East Village is home to lovely independent cafés and restaurants serving everything from artisan bread to homemade gelato and fabulous cocktails. Other local favourites on your doorstep include the Ye Old Black Bull pub, Escape Bar (which features board games, quiz nights and comedy) and Sawmill café and bakery.

You’ll also find foodie delights such as Dina Wines, Singburi (for exceptional Thai food), and Aromas (Nepalese) nearby, along with popular local pubs such as The Forest Tavern and The Holly Tree in Forest Gate.

The area is also peppered with numerous well-rated schools and colleges, while the historic University of East London is one of the UK’s top research institutions. However, the rail links set the area apart, with Stratford Station (10mins) offering Central, Jubilee, DLR and Elizabeth Line services and Southeastern trains running from Stratford International. Alternatively, hop on at Maryland (Elizabeth Line, 11mins), Plaistow Underground (District, 22mins) or West Ham (District, DLR and c2c, 23mins).
