This substantial five-bedroom Victorian end-terrace offers over 1,700 sq ft of family living across three floors in the sought-after Barclay Estate. The house retains many original features — high skirting boards, picture rails, coving and feature fireplaces — giving immediate period character and warmth. Spacious reception rooms and a generous kitchen/diner open onto a small rear garden, delivering practical family flow and comfortable entertaining space.
The house is chain free and freehold, with two bathrooms including an en-suite to the top-floor bedroom. It is well placed for transport, with Leyton Midland station and several Underground/bus routes within easy reach, and a wide choice of well-regarded primary and secondary schools nearby. Local green spaces and leisure facilities — Abbots Park, Hollow Ponds and Leyton Leisure Lagoon — are all within walking distance.
Buyers should note a few material points: the property’s solid brick walls are assumed to lack insulation, and the double glazing was installed before 2002, so thermal upgrades could be beneficial. Council tax is above average and local crime levels are above average for the area. The rear garden and plot are modest in size compared with the generous internal footprint.
Overall this is a rare family-sized home in a central Leyton location that will appeal to buyers seeking period character, space for a growing family, and close access to schools and transport. Some upgrading to insulation and windows would improve energy efficiency and long-term running costs.
