Chadwick Road, Leytonstone

A characterful two bedroom ground floor flat in Upper Leytonstone, immaculately presented throughout and full of original detail. With a private garden, generous open-plan living space and an unusually large cellar below, there’s plenty here to set it apart, while Leytonstone’s cafés, pubs and Central line station are all close by.

IF YOU LIVED HERE…

The open-plan kitchen, dining and reception room is a wonderfully inviting space, with high ceilings, original floorboards and a broad bay window drawing in plenty of natural light. Soft neutral walls sit alongside deep blue kitchen cabinetry, contrasting worktops and open shelving, while there’s ample room to relax and dine without either area feeling compromised. From here, the hallway leads to two bedrooms. The larger is finished in warm blush tones with original floorboards, Iron fireplace, fitted wardrobe rails and fitted shelving, while the second has its own distinct character, with patterned wallpaper and timber cabinetry. The modern bathroom is equally thoughtfully finished, pairing a bath and an overhead shower above with hand painted patterned tiling and a walnut vanity.

The larger bedroom opens directly onto the private rear garden, a tucked-away outdoor space with a gravelled finish and mature planting overhead. There’s also useful side access to the garden via the shared driveway, adding another practical touch to the ground floor layout. Downstairs, the cellar is a real bonus. Extending beneath much of the flat and divided into several areas, it provides a considerable amount of additional space beyond the main accommodation. Altogether, the home feels warm, individual and carefully looked after, with original timber doors, wooden floorboards and period detailing sitting naturally alongside the more contemporary updates.

A WORD FROM THE OWNER...

"We’ve absolutely loved doing life at Chadwick Road. This was our first time buying and we feel so lucky to have made it our home. It’s also where we’ve grown our little family — we moved in just us two and will be leaving with our dog and 1yr old, so there are a lot of special memories here.

We’ve had fun doing some renovations over the years, but the beautiful floorboards, wooden doors and original features will always be the real draw. The basement has been our laundry room / gym / barber shop / chill out den, plus storage for our bikes, camping and climbing gear — oh, and the kayak. Having that extra space has been invaluable to us.

Our little courtyard garden is ideal for a morning cup of tea in the slice of sunshine it gets — but mostly a great place for Woody to bark at his mates.

Upper Leytonstone is a perfect location too. Hollow Ponds at the end of the road for daily dog walks, friendly local shops and lovely family run Out of the Woods cafe nearby. Easy access to the high street’s great pubs and restaurants, and Leytonstone station is an 8-minute walk away.

Chadwick Road itself is lovely and quiet with a real sense of community. Many of our neighbours have become real life friends and we’ll miss living next door to them dearly.

It’s been a really happy home, and we hope whoever gets to live here next loves it as much as we have."
