Set on the first floor of a handsome Victorian mid-terrace on Francis Road, this two-bedroom maisonette offers a bright, newly renovated home with period character and modern fittings. High ceilings and refurbished original floorboards create a roomy feel; column-style radiators and a neutral palette keep the presentation warm and timeless. The recently fitted kitchen (2022) and new bathroom (2024) mean minimal immediate upkeep.
Outdoor space is a genuine asset: a private, 20-foot landscaped garden paved with Indian sandstone provides a quiet spot for coffee, barbecues or pot plants. Practical touches include bespoke storage, integrated kitchen appliances, underfloor heating in the bathroom, and plumbing for laundry in a covered porch.
Transport and local amenities are strong draws. Leyton Midland Road Overground is a short walk away with easy links to the Victoria line; Leyton Tube and Stratford are within easy reach. The flat sits in an affluent, inner-city area popular with young families, close to good primary and secondary schools and the varied shops, cafés and community life along Francis Road.
A few factual points to note: the property is leasehold (very long 990-year lease) and sits in a solid-brick Victorian build where wall insulation is assumed absent — adding wall insulation could improve efficiency. Double glazing is present but the install date is unknown. Stairs lead to the first-floor accommodation, so there is no step-free access. Overall this is a well-presented, low-maintenance home suited to buyers seeking period character with contemporary conveniences.
