4 Bedroom Terraced House for sale in High Road Leyton, Stratford, London, E15 2BY

Guide Price £650,000 - £700,000. This large mid-terrace four bedroom house is ideally located on the border of Leyton and Stratford. There’s a flexible layout with four generous-sized bedrooms, two reception rooms and plenty of storage space. Situated on the High Road, this property put you close to all the impressive amenities of Leyton, Stratford and Leytonstone. You approach the property through a small front garden, which offers a level of privacy from the street, and features an original diamond-patterned Victorian tiled path to the front door. The garden is fully paved for easy maintenance and there’s plenty of room for bin storage. The front façade is rendered and painted in a light cream colour, setting it apart from neighbouring properties, and there’s an attractive stone mullioned bay window to the ground floor, which has an unusual corbelled central pillar, matched by the first floor window above. The porch is framed by columns with ornate corbels and topped by an unusual, peaked arch.  Through the timber outer front door, which provides additional security and separation for the property, you’ll find yourself in the porch. To the left is the first door to the main reception room and straight ahead is the original front door which provides access to the hallway.  The generous main reception room benefits from abundant natural light from the large bay window and has retained many of its original features, including ornate cornicing, wood trim, a curved wall section and impressive sash windows. The sitting area offers potential for various layouts and the bay with its almost full height windows is crying out to be celebrated with a statement piece of feature furniture. Passing through into the second space, we can see that there’s room here for a large dining table and dresser, making this reception room an ideal space to entertain family and friends. With other alternative locations in the property for your dining area, this could instead be used for additional living space or as an impressive study or library. The plentiful wall space in this room lends itself to the display of some large, stylish art pieces to provide the feel of an elegant gallery. There are large radiators to guarantee a comfortable atmosphere and decoration is simple with white walls and trim, and an oatmeal carpet. Through the door at the end of the main reception, you’ll find yourself in the morning room. Currently set up as a dining room, there are many possibilities for this area, including as a second sitting room, a study, or a spectacular kitchen as part of a wider refurbishment project. There would be room for long runs of cabinets and work surfaces, as well as potential for a large island if you wanted to go for it! The roof of the single story extension in this room could even be opened up with a large roof lantern or full length glazing to flood the space with beautiful natural light. Flooring is mahogany effect laminate, and there’s a fully glazed door leading into the lean-to conservatory, along with another door leading into the kitchen, where we’ll head to next… The kitchen has been well designed to make best use of the available space with a large array of base and wall cabinets and an impressive amount of worksurface. The cabinets and drawers are finished in an attractive beech, with the countertops in granite-effect laminate. There’s a dishwasher, an integrated double oven and a large, five ring gas hob with extractor above. Natural light comes from a window and fully glazed door facing out onto the conservatory. Again, as part of a potential reconfiguration of the downstairs layout, this would make an ideal utility and laundry room with access perhaps being created to the downstairs shower room - which we’ll explore later - to improve the layout of the conservatory area. The lean-to conservatory has full height walls, large French windows leading to the rear garden and a fully glazed roof. This room currently houses the combi gas boiler and provides access to the downstairs shower room. Presently used as a utility space, this room could easily function as additional living space, a playroom or study.  Let’s take a look now at the useful shower room. Here you’ll find a low flush WC, large pedestal hand basin and large shower cubicle. Decoration includes dark blue tiles to the lower portion of the walls, with white tiles above separated by an attractive floral border. There’s also a large window facing towards the rear garden. Next, let’s head back into the conservatory and then out through the French windows into the large garden. Laid mostly to lawn with borders of mature shrubs, the garden is west facing, meaning that it benefits from the evening sun and would make an ideal relaxing and entertaining space. There’s even an outdoor tap and large butler’s sink to support your green fingered activities. As we’ve seen, the downstairs layout is substantial and already provides practical family living. With just a little imagination and relatively little effort, this could be a truly impressive space that you’ll want to enjoy and share with your friends and family. We’re now about to discover that the rest of the property also offers similar levels of practicality and potential… Returning through the conservatory and back into the morning room, we’ll take the door facing us and to the left, into the hallway. As you enter the hallway, to your left you’ll find an area under the stairs, which is ideal for the storage of coats and shoes. There’s also access here to the large basement offering an additional storage area. Further along, to the right, are additional doors allowing access to the main reception room. On the left is the staircase to the first floor. Decoration is light cream walls and a dark russet carpet. At the top of the stairs, you’ll find yourself on the large split-level landing, with the lower level having a large, full height built-in cupboard and providing access to the shower room and bedroom three.
Into bedroom three first, which is currently set up as a large single room. This could easily be used as a double room, with room for a double bed, bedside cabinets, a wardrobe and additional storage furniture. It would also make an ideal child’s bedroom or study. With a small section of the end of the room having a sloping ceiling and the window being slightly lower set, this room has the feel of a cosy country cottage, without losing any of the practicality. The walls are painted in a pastel mint green colour with the same dark russet carpet as the staircase, which features in all the bedrooms, landing areas and stairs on the upper floors. Returning to the landing, to the right is the shower room. There’s a white three piece suite, comprising of a WC, a pedestal hand basin, with mirrored cabinet above and a glass enclosed shower cubicle. There are floor to ceiling white ceramic tiles and a mosaic tiled floor. There’s also natural light courtesy of a modern uPVC window. Up a few steps now to the second level of the landing, where the first door to the right takes us into bedroom two. This is a good sized double room featuring built in wardrobes and dressing table. There’s a large window facing the quiet rear garden with a large radiator below to guarantee a peaceful, comfortable night’s sleep. Walls are painted in a light blue which further enhances the sense of light. The final room on this level is the impressive main bedroom. Occupying the full width of the house and having two sets of large windows, this is a delightfully spacious and bright room. There’s a large run of built-in wardrobes, which also incorporates a dressing table and full width storage above. There’s still room for a large double bed, bedside cabinets and additional furniture, perhaps including a comfortable armchair to enjoy the sunny aspect, read a good back or just watch the world go by on the street below. Back onto the landing now and up the stairs to the second floor. On the half landing, there’s a useful storage cupboard and a skylight which provides natural light down to the first floor and up to the second, which has room for a desk or would make a cosy reading nook.
The first door to the right takes us into bedroom four, which has a full width dormer, making it another generous sized room. A large double bed will fit easily in here, with plenty of space left for wardrobes, chests of drawers, bedside cabinets, a dressing table and a desk. The large window with radiator below brings in lots of natural light which is nicely diffused by the coffee coloured walls. This room could be an ideal teenager’s room or equally would make a perfect parent’s retreat away from the daily hustle and bustle. The final room on this floor is a large storage room, which has built in cupboards and also houses the water tank. Subject to the necessary approvals there might be scope here for alternative uses such as an additional bathroom, playroom or study.
