Dawlish Road, Leyton

Spread out across the upper ground floor, this restored one-bedroom apartment has been beautifully updated with its period features, smart decor, spacious layout and private garden. As for the location, it’s a mere hop and skip from Francis Road, one of the most sought-after parts of E10, so you’ll be surrounded by top quality food and drink based perks.

Leyton tube is around 15 minutes away on foot, so you can easily nip into Central London. It’s on the market chain-free, too - another great bonus.

IF YOU LIVED HERE…

Behind that handsome frontage, stretched out across upper ground floor, you’ll find 638 square foot of smartly designed space. The decor is fresh, and you’ll love how the contemporary updates sit alongside the original features.

At the front you have your bright and beautiful reception room, where features include the striking fireplace alcove, ornate beading and charming panelling around the bay windows. You’ll appreciate the fact that there’s plenty of room for relaxing, dining, working or socialising. At the rear, your kitchen is smart and modern, with sleek units and integrated appliances. The bathroom is just as contemporary, with the perfect sprinkling of tradition, while the bedroom has been spotlessly decorated in blush, with soft carpeting.

At the back you’ll find your lovely garden, surrounded by mature foliage and climbers to bring a nice feeling of seclusion. As well as storage, you have a fantastic decked patio area. Bring on the sunshine!

Just beyond your home, you’ll find the part-pedestrianised Francis Road, which is now recognised across the capital as a hub thanks to its eclectic mix of eateries and stores. There’s loads to choose from there, but how about starting with wine bar Yardarm, Korean eatery Zaxx or independent book store Phlox? In the other direction, around the Leyton Midland Road arches, you’ve got some brilliant new choices, including the much lauded smokehouse Burnt (‘dreamy’ according to the Guardian), as well as Gravity Well Taproom.

Hop on a bus for a few stops and you’ll in find yourself in the iconic Olympic Park, and just beyond that, Westfield Stratford. Nearby there’s also East Bank, a unique collaboration between world-leading universities, arts and culture institutions, including Sadler’s Wells, BBC and V&A.
