Beck Square, Lea Bridge Road, Leyton

A smartly finished, spacious, two bedroom, two bathroom apartment on the second floor of a modern purpose built block. Featuring two private balconies, plenty of storage and a high quality finish to every room, it's all located just off Lea Bridge Road, mere moments from Lea Bridge station.

The large open plan kitchen, living and dining room extends even further onto a modern private balcony, so there's plenty of space for entertaining guests. There's even a second balcony off the main bedroom for an outdoor relaxation space looking out to the communal gardens.

There's a growing community of great independent taprooms, artist's studios and fantastic places to eat and drink in the repurposed industrial units of nearby Argall Avenue. Lea Bridge Road is also a superb gateway to open green nature reserves.

YOUR NEW HOME

Coming in through the front door of the apartment, there's two large storage cupboards to your right. Plenty of space for bags, coats and boots. The corridor is bright and tastefully decorated, an early example of the standards to come.

Take a left to arrive in the 310 square foot, open plan reception, kitchen and dining room. Here you'll first notice the high quality finish in the flawless kitchen. There's lots of storage space in the glossy grey cabinets, a Bosch integrated oven and microwave, forest green kitchen tiles, double sink and a dramatic suspended extractor hood over the hob.

Spotlights run across the ceiling from the kitchen and over the living and dining spaces. Great for setting the mood when entertaining guests in the late evening. Meanwhile natural light shines in through the two windows and from the sliding patio doors that lead out onto the balcony.

The private balcony also serves as an excellent al fresco extension of the reception space, with plenty of room for a dining table and chairs, and smooth decked flooring currently decorated with lots of pots and plants.

Just down the hall you have your luxurious bathroom. Rippled, sandstone wall tiles surround the bath from floor to ceiling, there's a chrome shower overhead and plenty of space in the mirrored cabinets and purpose built shelving that surrounds the washbasin.

The second bedroom is currently being used as a home working space, with a sofa bed but with 100 square feet of space available it could easily be turned back into a handsome double.

The main bedroom is even bigger, with 130 square feet of floorspace with mirrored built in double wardrobes. There are two wonderful extra features in here; a luxurious en suite shower room and double patio doors leading onto the second private balcony.

Out here you have views over the communal gardens, the same immaculate decking as your first balcony and lots of sheltered space for patio furniture.
