IF YOU LIVED HERE...

Arriving home, you'll step through your porch onto vintage chequerboard flooring running the length of your entrance hall. Turning right you'll find your 195 square foot reception room, with a large bright bay window, sleek marbled fireplace and the original cornicing and ceiling rose. Moving down the hall you'll arrive in your 140 square foot contemporary kitchen, with stainless steel and glossy white splashbacks, smooth cream cabinetry and blonde hardwood underfoot.

To the rear of your kitchen you have a convenient utility space leading to the garden and your ground floor WC and shower room. Back in the hallway, there's access to a second reception room with dark engineered hardwood flooring, and French doors opening into your conservatory. From here you can access your tranquil private garden, with a large stretch of lawn and lush green borders.

Up on the first floor you have your stylish family bathroom, with soft mauve paintwork and broad sandstone tiles. There's a large bright, timber framed window and a shower over the tub. Elsewhere, your principal bedroom comes in at 190 square feet, all naturally illuminated by another oversized, original bay window. Your second, third and fourth sleepers are all handsomely proportioned, with the rearmost pair also featuring ornamental vintage hearths.

Travelling into the heart of London is plain sailing, from nearby Leytonstone station you can catch direct eighteen minute trains to Liverpool Street on the rapid Central line. Alternatively, stroll ten minutes down your lane to Leyton Midland Road station, where you can ride one or two stops on the Overground to Walthamstow Queens Road and Blackhorse Road.
