Perth Road, Leyton

Situated a short walk from the vast green space of Jubilee Park, this two double bedroom first floor ex-Warner maisonette is bursting with traditional features that balance brilliantly with the contemporary updates, such as the modern fitted kitchen and four-piece bathroom. It also comes with private section of the rear garden, which has been beautifully landscaped.

You’ll never be short of essentials or tasty treats since you’ve got a huge array of amenities on your doorstep, and Lea Bridge Station is a six minutes walk away, which means you can nip to Stratford or Tottenham Hale for quick access to several very convenient tube lines.

IF YOU LIVED HERE…

You'll appreciate the beauty of this iconic design developed by Walthamstow’s first mayor, Sir Thomas Courtenay Warner, at the turn of the last century, and you’ll understand why they’ve become so sought-after now.

Swathes of natural light pour through the window in your generous lounge, showcasing the features such as the focal fireplace and making you appreciate just how immaculate the neutral decor is. Touches such as the double glazed sash windows and custom shelving not only look great but will be a real convenience too.

The bedrooms are just as considered, with more neutral tones and ample space to spread out. The kitchen and bathroom both manage to balance character and convenience perfectly. You’ll love the butler sink in the kitchen, as well as the hose-style mixer tap. The metro brick tiling, pendant lighting and wooden counters also give a nod to tradition while still being practical. As for the bathroom, it’s a four-piece, with a freestanding tub as well as a walk-in shower - a lovely luxury.

At the rear, you’ve got your own private section garden which has been beautifully landscaped, but you don’t need to travel far beyond those gorgeous red bricks to find more green space; as well as having Jubilee Park a few minutes away, you’ve got also the Hackney Marshes and Lee Valley Park within strolling distance, perfect for dog walking, exercising or just chilling.

As well as having the convenience of big chains such as Aldi nearby, the area has become a burgeoning hot spot for independents. Look out for eco-refill store-cum-coffee shop Cups & Jars, Italian deli with a Japanese influence Pinch la Deli and eclectic event space/bar/pizzeria Patchworks, where you’ll find the lively new brewery Blondies.

If you’re looking for a coffee and some peace and quiet, look no further than the nearby Lea Bridge Library, which won multiple design awards last year when a stunning extension housing a cafe was added to the Grade-II listed building.

A WORD FROM THE OWNER...

"The property is on a really quiet street. It isn't overlooked and is always filled with sunlight during the day. The private garden out the back is perfect for barbecues and inside there's lots of space with two big bedrooms, a luxury bathroom I had installed, and a big light-filled living room. The location was one of the main reasons I bought it in the first place: Hackney Marshes and the canal is on the doorstep, it's very easy and quick to get into Central London via either Stratford or Tottenham Hale with the train station a few minutes walk away and there are lots of buses and the cycle route via Hackney into Central London. The area has got loads of nice pubs, cafes and shops with a big supermarket right across the main road. Since I bought it, many new places have opened up. As an old Warner flat, it's a property with lots of character features, but it's also super comfortable. It holds lots of happy memories for me and I am sure it will make a fantastic home for new owners."
