Leslie Road, Wanstead

Nestled between Leyton and the Olympic Village, this bright and modern one-bedroom studio apartment has been cleverly designed, from the large kitchen area and built-in wall bed to the spacious rear garden and contemporary bathroom.

Leyton tube is moments away, putting you within easy reach of central London, as well the fantastic amenities closer to home. The fact that the property is on the market chain-free is yet another bonus.

IF YOU LIVED HERE…

It might be a studio apartment, but this well-designed home packs in a sizeable kitchen as well as a garden, while clever touches such as the built-in wall bed and vertical radiator bring even more space-saving convenience. The decor is a considered palette of greys, while the timber flooring adds tones of warm. Both the bathroom and kitchen are sleek and modern with stylish fittings. The garden will be brilliantly convenient, especially during warmer months, when you can extend your living space outside.

You don’t have to travel far if you want to enjoy more nature though - the Olympic Park is a 15 minute stroll away, while Drapers Field is even closer. These green spaces are perfect for relaxing or going for a leisurely jog, but if you’re feeling more active you’ll be delighted to find out that the London 2012 Games legacy means the area is packed with top notch sports facilities such as the Lee Valley VeloPark and the London Aquatics Centre.

As for food and drink, you’re spoilt for choice… Look out for the East Village Street Food Market, a fixture that runs every second Saturday throughout the summer, offering a variety of delicious dishes from some of the top street food retailers in London. Or head in the other direction towards Grove Green Road, where you can take your pick between the equally excellent Filly Brook and Heathcote & Star. Slightly further away you’ll find the part-pedestrianised hub Francis Road, where you’ve got upmarket deli/wine bar Yardarm, Korean food at Zaxx, vinyl treasure trove Dreamhouse Records and much more.
