A WORD FROM THE OWNER...

"It is regrettable to be leaving this wonderful hideaway, I think our private secluded garden, coupled with being located down a lovely quiet road has really lent itself to that relaxed feel. In that time, we have seen Leyton transform itself into a trendy extension of Hackney. There are numerous local hotspots such as Deeneys Coffee Shop, Gravity Well Tap Room, Bamboo Mat, Burnt Smokehouse and Paraquet Bar all just a short 5 minute stroll away. Alternatively you are only a 10 minute walk from the stylish Francis Road, with a number of coffee shops, brunch spots and street parties. We are also in close proximity to Leyton Tube & Leyton Midlands Station, which has been perfect for our daily commute. Not forgetting with Hackney Marshes, Jubilee Park & Epping Forest, you are only ever a short walk or cycle from nature & green spaces. We fully intend on staying in the area and highly recommend it as a place to live!"
