Chain-free Victorian terrace with garden, close to Leytonstone station..
Freehold mid-terrace Victorian cottage, circa 624 sq ft
A compact two-bedroom Victorian terrace offered chain-free in Upper Leytonstone, ideal for first-time buyers seeking an East London foothold. The house blends retained period character — bay window, fireplace and original wood floorboards — with a modern fitted kitchen and a south-east facing rear garden that captures morning and midday sun.
Accommodation extends to about 624 sq ft across two storeys with an open-plan through lounge/diner and a contemporary three-piece bathroom. The property is freehold, well located 0.6 miles from Leytonstone Central Line station and close to local shops, cafes and well-rated schools, making daily life and commuting straightforward.
Buyers should note the home is a modestly sized terrace on a small plot: the garden and internal rooms are not large. The building appears to have solid brick walls with no known insulation (assumed), so upgrading energy performance and carrying out sympathetic modernisation could be worthwhile. There is potential to extend subject to planning (STPP).
Overall, this is a practical, characterful starter home or buy-to-let prospect in a convenient location. It suits purchasers prepared to refresh interiors and invest in energy improvements to increase comfort and long-term value.
