Leslie Road, Leytonstone, E11

An especially striking three-bedroom garden apartment, impressively finished throughout and just the shortest of walks from Leyton tube. You have Stratford and even Westfield within easy reach, and you’re also buying a share of the freehold.

Substantially extended to the rear, you have 660 square feet to stretch out in here, with the flexible layout allowing for everything from a private study to an extra social space in place of a bedroom. The exquisitely bright lounge to the rear is a very special highlight.

As well as the speedy Central line links of Leyton tube just moments away, you can easily stroll right into the heart of Stratford for a whole host of onward connections, as well as a great range of high-end wining and dining spots.

YOUR NEW HOME

Step inside and you have an expert blend of vintage features and contemporary style from front to back. Your first bedroom is right ahead as you enter, a substantial bay windowed double of 120 square feet, featuring original timber floorboards underfoot, classic bistro shutters and floor to ceiling integrated wardrobes.

Next door, bedroom two is just as sizeable, with the same high ceilings of the period and more charming original timber floorboards underfoot. These flow on down the corridor and on into bedroom three, a small double of around seventy-five square feet, currently in use as a dedicated study.

Your family bathroom is where the period styling starts to give way to contemporary designer flair. In here you have large format slate tilework, a window of thick glass bricks for floods of natural light, and a shower over the full-sized tub.

From here everything opens up into your twenty-one foot long kitchen, diner and striking lounge. There’s more slate style tilework underfoot in here, with a lovely exposed brick wall running down the right hand side as you enter.

There’s plenty of dining space against the exposed brick, while across the way your kitchen’s decked out in glossy white cabinets and dark, quartz style worktops.

Step on into the extended lounge proper for floor to ceiling, timber framed glazing, floods of natural light and garden views, plus more exposed brick accents. It’s a superb social space, with full height double doors leading directly on to your deck.

The fully sheltered side return runs for an impressive length before blooming out into the rear decking proper, and giving way to a substantial length of lawn, flanked by planters and timber fencing before concluding in a second, elevated deck. Perfect for barbecues and entertaining al fresco.

YOUR NEW NEIGHBOURHOOD

With Leyton tube just five minutes on foot you have both the City and West End at your fingertips. The Central line will get you straight to Liverpool Street in around ten minutes, or Oxford Circus in roughly twenty. So whether you’re travelling for work or play, it’s an enviably easy door to door trip.

Just the other side of the station you have High Road Leyton, home to a wide range of cafes, pubs and bars, including the pride of E10’s gastropub fleet, The Leyton Engineer, sat in the Grade II listed setting of the Old Town Hall.

You also have the open greenery of Coronations Gardens and Sidmouth Park within easy reach, while if you really want to stretch your legs you can be exploring the world class sporting facilities and endless greenery of the Olympic Park in about twenty minutes.

There’s also the Athletes Village, reimagined as East Village and dubbed London’s Coolest Postcode, about half a mile away. Here you’ll find an ever-changing collection of wining and dining pop ups.

Finally, the well-established bars and restaurants of central Stratford are around ten minutes further, including the endless shopping and leisure opportunities of Westfield and a wide range of onward underground, overground and international connections.
