This tastefully restored one-bedroom apartment strikes a perfect balance between original detail and stylish modern updates. Set on the first floor of a period conversion in E11, it comes with a smart kitchen, a bright reception room, and plenty of storage space throughout.
Perfectly positioned between Leyton and Leytonstone, you’ll have plenty of amenities and transport links within easy reach. Even better, a 15 minute stroll takes you to the tip of Epping Forest. It’s no surprise this pocket of East London is so highly sought after. It’s on the market chain-free too.
IF YOU LIVED HERE…
If you don’t already know this part of East London, you’ll quickly see why it’s so well loved. Think leafy streets, a warm neighbourhood feel, and a cosy position nestled between the buzz of several dynamic areas and the calm of Epping Forest.
At home, your reception room is bright and inviting, with considered contrast decor, soft carpeting, generous windows, and two column radiators to bring period charm.
At the rear, the kitchen is smart and contemporary, with plenty of storage, integrated appliances and lovely parquet-style flooring. The bathroom blends modern convenience with classic character, featuring an over-tub shower and striking tiling. The bedroom is a comfortable double, continuing the spotless finish throughout
As for food and drink-based amenities, you’re only a few minutes on foot from the part-pedestrianised Francis Road. This fantastic neighbourhood 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 book shop Phlox and independent store Dreamhouse Record, with much more in between.
Even closer, the Grove Green Road area has been buzzing with activity for a few years - the Filly Brook, Northcote and Heathcote & Star are all great there.
Leyton tube station is around ten minutes on foot to get you into Central London via the Central line (Leytonstone is slightly further, but handy if you’re travelling east). Or hop on to the Overground at Leytonstone High Road for the Gospel Oak to Barking line, a 15 minute walk away.
WHAT ELSE?
- Despite the thriving amenities, there’s a surprising amount of green space nearby. For instance, head south-east via the Bushwood area - renowned for its wide, tree-lined streets of grand Victorian and Edwardian homes - and you’ll find the Wanstead Flats.
- A short bus ride takes you to the iconic Olympic Park, and just beyond that, Westfield Stratford, which won’t need an introduction. 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.
- Foodie highlights off the Leytonstone High Road include hidden gem Panda dim sum and taqueria Homies on Donkeys, which won BBC2’s Britain’s Top Takeaway.

A WORD FROM THE EXPERT...
“Leyton has that rare mix of grit and warmth that makes everyday life feel a little richer. On Francis Road, Saturday mornings turn into catch-ups over coffee, while the High Road hums with the scent of everything from Peruvian fusion to fresh-baked bread. I love that you can be in Jubilee Park with the dog one minute, picnicking in Coronation Gardens the next, or heading to the Olympic Park for something completely different. It’s a place that gives you room to breathe without ever feeling sleepy.
The homes here have real soul; Victorian terraces with bay windows, Edwardian conversions full of character, and just enough quirks to make each one unique. Add the quick Central Line dash into town, schools you can count on, and a community that still says hello on the street, and it’s hard not to feel anchored here. Leyton isn’t trying to be perfect, it’s real, evolving, and exactly where I want to be.”
