Moments from High Road Leyton, this wonderful two bedroom converted flat features a stylised design scheme that uses natural materials, tones, and textures to highlight its bright, well-proportioned rooms.
Outside, colonnaded bay windows with foliage capitals and a decorative arched entrance to the recessed front door complement a traditional Victorian brick frontage. But once you step into the hallway and come to the split-level landing, a chic aesthetic presides in the form of white painted floorboards, stripped wooden handrails, and copper light fittings.
In the bathroom to your left, a frosted awning window illuminates large white tiles offset by black grouting. The chrome heated towel rail echoes the taps and fixtures to a deep bath with glass-screened overhead shower, a pedestal basin, and a close-couple loo, with stripped wooden shelves and wall hooks attractive and practical touches.
Straight ahead in the kitchen, grey floor tiles subtly pair with the sherbet tones to the wall cabinetry, while lush green base cabinets and open wood shelving inject a natural flavour to the scheme. A stainless-steel sink and a gas hob with overhead extractor sit above a white worktop with tiled splashback, with a Zanussi oven and space for a fridge and laundry appliance beneath the counter. The kitchen also feels very bright and cheerful thanks to the large rear window and high ceiling.
From the upper landing, turn right to find a rear facing double bedroom with recessed shelving and a copper pendant light fitting. The living room lies at the front of the apartment, where a canted bay window bathes the high ceiling, white walls, and the beautiful exposed brick fireplace and stove in a warm glow. A second window overlooks the dining area, with a stylish mounted bulb and copper fittings completing the cosy effect.
Return to the landing, where lemon sherbet risers to the second staircase invite you up to the loft conversion. From a big picture window and three skylights offering fantastic city views to a soft cream carpet, wooden accents, and ample wardrobes and eaves storage, the top floor is an exclusive space that perfectly suits a principal bedroom.
