Church Road, Leyton, E10 7BQ

An especially spacious three bedroom family home, entirely move in ready but also bursting with potential. Comprehensively refurbished just five years ago (including a new roof) the fundamentals are as sound as you could wish for. Both Leyton and Walthamstow are within walking distance. You have over 1200 feet to stretch out in, including that huge cellar, with scope to follow in your neighbours’ footsteps and add even more with a loft extension (subject to the usual permissions). Everything’s finished to a high standard, with original floorboards waiting to be uncovered. You’re just off Lea Bridge Road here, with all your day-to-day amenities and some fine wining and dining spots right on your doorstep. Fifteen minutes gets you to Francis Road, twenty to Leyton tube and twenty-five to Walthamstow Village. YOUR NEW HOME You have that classic Victorian frontage with yellow London brick, original mouldings and a striking mint green front door. Plenty of kerb appeal. Inside, the first reception room is on the right; 120 square feet with blonde hardwood underfoot, that huge bay window (part smoked for privacy) and the high ceilings of the period. Your dedicated dining room is to the rear, another ninety square feet of social space, or possibly just connect the two for a lengthy, dual aspect through lounge. You have handy understairs storage across the hall, before arriving at the bright, white kitchen. Lots of light in here once again, with blonde hardwood style floors and complementary worktops. Cabinets are simple, sleek and glossy white, ranked top and bottom with a white, large format tiled splashback in between. Head through a handy utility room – more counter space, perfect for laundry – and you come to the family bathroom. In here there’s more oversized white tilework, a classic white suite and a shower over the full-sized tub. Into the rear garden now, where the secluded side return opens up into an expansive, elevated patio. Substantial and low maintenance, it’s all surrounded by timber fencing and flourishing greenery, with a raised lawn at the end. A little green fingered attention out here and you’ll have an idyllic outdoor retreat. Back inside, and upstairs your principal bedroom sits to the front, a huge 150 square feet with leafy green views from the bay window and secondary sash. Soft carpet and simple paintwork in white and soft sandstone complete the tranquil effect. Bedrooms two and three represent the remainder of the sleeping arrangements. Both are doubles, coming in at around 100 square feet apiece, softly carpeted and naturally bright. And finally, of course, you have that massive cellar. At almost 280 square feet, it offers an extraordinary amount of additional storage space, with all manner of potential for future owners to explore. Meanwhile the unexplored loft space means you can also add your own whole new storey, as your neighbours have done (subject to the usual permissions). A home that can comprehensively grow with you and yours. YOUR NEW NEIGHBOURHOOD The thoroughfare of Lea Bridge Road is precisely the right distance away, just five minutes’ walk for shops and cafes and your day to day needs. Highlights include Pinch La Deli, a Japanese Italian café, deli and wine shop, and the Hare & Hounds gastropub, also well worth a visit. Lea Bridge Road overground is around fifteen minutes on foot. From here it’s a one stop, five minute hop to Stratford, where you have a huge array of onward connections, including the Central, Jubilee and Elizabeth lines, and the DLR. Keeping things local, E10’s café capital of Francis Road is also around fifteen minutes on foot, and justly renowned for its range of independent cafes, delis and bars. Even Walthamstow Village is within reach, around twenty-five minutes on foot for some of the finest gastropubs for miles around. Well worth the weekend stroll for a choice of Sunday roasts. Leyton tube offers another transport option, direct ten-minute runs to Liverpool Street and twenty-minute trips to Oxford Circus via the Central line. Just a twenty-minute walk or a five-minute cycle away. Finally, nearby schools include Willow Brook and Riverley primaries, both of which achieved ‘Outstanding’ status at the most recent inspections. There’s an impressive amount of square footage here. Along with the recently refurbished fundamentals and all that expansion potential remaining, this is a strong family contender. The location adds to the appeal, with fine doorstep choices and plenty more within walking distance. From sales to lettings, our estate agents Leyton team is here to guide you every step of the way.
