Beck Square, Leyton, E10 7FZ

A beautiful boutique find, this massive one bed balcony apartment comes in at more than 820 square feet and is artfully arranged to maximise the impressive space. The great natural expanses of Hackney Marshes and Walthamstow Wetlands are both within walking distance. Everything’s bright, sleek and modern with lots of natural light, while the artfully zoned kitchen and reception areas make for excellent social flow. There’s also lots of incidental space and an exceptional amount of dedicated storage, always a welcome bonus in London apartment living. You’re les than five minutes on foot from Lea Bridge Station, for direct one stop hops to Stratford and a whole host of onward connections. Lea Bridge Road itself is full of pubs, cafes and all your day to day needs, while Hackney Marshes is just fifteen minutes away. YOUR NEW HOME Totalling more than 820 square feet, the smart layout and wealth of incidental space make everything feel much larger. Step inside for a proper lobby with two hallways, one stretches away to the right with a generous collection of neatly integrated storage spaces, enough to make a genuine lifestyle difference. Blonde engineered hardwood runs underfoot, leading you into your artfully open plan lounge and kitchen space, subtly zoned and bathed in natural light from the balcony. Walls are pristine in white and your high end kitchen is fitted with dark glossy cabinetry beneath chunky white worktops and a herringbone backsplash. Banks of white glossy cabinets run along the top level and there’s also a full suite of integrated appliances. Moving on into the lounge area, broad balcony doors flood the space with natural light and frame some lovely horizon-wide views.  Plus it’s sheltered, so you can step outside and enjoy the space whatever the weather. Head back to the entrance and the other hallway takes you to the bedroom, an exceptionally substantial 170-square-foot double, softly carpeted with built-in mirrored wardrobes, pristine white paintwork and ample room for a dedicated home-working space. Finally your bathroom completes things, an artfully lit boutique affair, tiled from top to toe in large format sandstone with a shower over the full-sized tub, plus an oversized downlit vanity mirror. YOUR NEW NEIGHBOURHOOD Lea Bridge Road itself is home to a growing selection of bars and cafes. Highlights include the Hare & Hounds gastropub and Pinch delicatessen, a deli, café and wine shop. Both are just a few minutes on foot. You can also be out in nature in around ten minutes. With both Lea Valley Park and Hackney Marshes close at hand, you’ll forget you’re in London. Stroll a little further and there’s a wide variety of nightlife to explore, with everything from Walthamstow Village, to Leyton’s Francis Road to the famous bars and gastropubs of Hackney itself all within walking distance. Alternatively, just jump on a train at Lea Bridge Station and you can be in central Stratford in less than ten minutes. Here you have onward connections via the Central, Jubilee and Elizabeth lines, your gateway to the heart of London. There’s also the famous Westfield shopping centre, the world class sporting facilities of the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, and the former athlete’s village, now reimagined as East Village and home to an ever evolving choice of pop-up bars and restaurants.
