Adelaide Road, Leyton

Spread across two floors of a stunning Victorian Grade 2 Listed building in the ever-popular E10 postcode, this unique two-bedroom loft-style apartment comes in at over 1,000 square feet, which takes in two bathrooms and a vast open plan style kitchen/reception. The finish is immaculate and there’s plenty of natural light throughout, while the secure entrance is yet another highlight.

As for the location, it sits in the heart of Leyton, moments from the convenience of the High Road, with the eclectic Francis Road just a short stretch further. Leyton tube station is a mere four minutes away.

IF YOU LIVED HERE…

If you already know Leyton, you can’t have missed the iconic Technical Institute development, where the grand display of Victorian architecture has ensured Grade 2 listed status. Even with this knowledge, you’ll still be wowed by your building every time you approach it, from the striking exterior and entrance to the generous proportions inside. The pristine decor of neutrals balances beautifully with the features such as the school-style radiators, so you can enjoy the work that’s already been put in.

Head in through your central hallway, where you have access to a storage area, as well as your first bathroom and bedroom (which could be used as a home office if preferred) and an open plan living room. This spectacular double-height space is flooded with natural light from three large windows and huge glass skylights ahead. The u-shaped kitchen occupies one side, with shaker-style units, timber worktops and integrated appliances. There’s plenty of space in the rest of the room for a dining table and sofas, making this the perfect space for relaxation or entertaining.

The main bedroom suite is located upstairs on a mezzanine, with one side bordered by a glass balustrade overlooking the main living space. The largely glass roof creates a serene mood, and there’s also plenty of smart in-built storage so you can enjoy a minimalist mood. Just like the bathroom below, the bathroom here is brilliantly modern, with an over-tub shower.

For such an urban environment, you’ve also got some excellent green nearby; Coronation Gardens, Hackney Marshes and the Olympic Park are all reachable on foot. Head beyond the buzzing High Road, where you can stop off at Italian deli Figo, and you’ll come across the part-pedestrianised Francis Road, which is now recognised across the capital as a hub thanks to its eclectic mix of eateries and stores, ranging from upmarket deli Yardarm to independent store Dreamhouse records.

A WORD FROM THE EXPERT...

"Leyton is a well-hidden gem that people haven’t yet fully explored. Francis Road is one of area’s most celebrated spots and it never disappoints. It’s buzzing with cafés, delis, shops and restaurants — the perfect afternoon or weekend destination. 
The Olympic Park is just around the corner, great for all the amazing concerts, sporting events and festivals that are held there all year round.
Getting into central London couldn’t be any easier, with Leyton Midland overground station as well as the Central underground line both right on the doorstep.
And did I mention that Jubilee Park, with its café, outdoor gym and pirate-themed playground, is perfect for a relaxing Sunday walk?"
