2 Bedroom Ground Floor Flat for sale in London

1 2 1

Spacious two bedroom ground floor flat for sale in the popular neighbourhood of Upper Leytonstone. Offered chain-free, this beautifully presented home occupies the entire ground floor of a converted Victorian villa, combining period charm with contemporary interiors. With two double bedrooms, a generous reception room, private garden and off-street parking, it’s a lovely home in a sought-after location.
Occupying the entire ground floor of a converted Victorian villa, the property sits along a quiet residential street and comes with sole use of the driveway. An ornate, period-covered porch leads through the main front door, complete with stained-glass surrounds, and into a shared hallway, with the private entrance to the left.
To the front, the principal bedroom benefits from a lovely bay window, complete with plantation blinds and built-in seating beneath. Fresh white decor is warmed by dark wooden floorboards flowing in from the hallway, while a traditional picture rail and ornate ceiling rose add character. There’s room for a double bed and dressing table or desk, with recesses either side of the chimney breast providing ideal space for wardrobes and storage.
Bedroom two is another comfortable double and a wonderfully flexible space, whether for children, guests, working from home or even a little workout space. Finished in a brown-and-white colour scheme with grey carpeting, it also features a built-in storage cupboard within one chimney breast recess and a window overlooking the side return.
The kitchen is fresh, bright and modern, with a good range of white high-gloss base and wall units topped with solid stained oak worktops. White subway tiles and large-format white and grey marble-effect floor tiles complete the contemporary look. An inset oven, hob and extractor are fitted, alongside space for a fridge-freezer, washing machine and dishwasher. A separate door leads out to the garden’s side return.
A short hallway with wooden flooring leads through to the bathroom and reception room at the rear. The bathroom features a white three-piece suite comprising a WC, a wide basin with storage beneath, and a bath with a shower above. Sand-coloured large-format tiles run throughout, complemented by a full-width mirror and chrome heated towel rail.
At the rear, the reception room blends classic design with thoughtful detailing. A striking dusty olive-green feature wall frames the chimney breast, incorporating an inset TV, electric fire, shelving and storage, with the colour continuing to the dado rail and crisp white walls above. There’s plenty of room for comfortable seating, with space at the far end for a dining table. Mosaic-tiled flooring subtly defines the two areas, while patio doors open directly onto the private garden.
The good-sized garden is mainly lawn, with established greenery, a paved side return, and a rear patio providing space to relax or entertain.
Upper Leytonstone is a lovely place to call home, with its quieter residential streets, welcoming community and easy access to the wider Leytonstone neighbourhood. The vibrant High Road offers an eclectic mix of independent shops, cafés, restaurants and everyday amenities, alongside local favourites for coffee, brunch and dining out. The area is particularly well known for its growing food scene, neighbourhood pubs and community feel, with plenty to discover just beyond the doorstep.
Leytonstone Central Line station is approximately a 15-minute walk away, offering convenient connections into the City and West End, while several bus routes are within five minutes. Stratford is also easily accessible, bringing Westfield shopping, the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and a wider choice of restaurants, entertainment and leisure facilities within easy reach.
For those who enjoy getting outdoors, the location is particularly appealing. Hollow Pond and Leyton Flats are just moments away, offering beautiful open space for walks, picnics and time beside the water, with rowing boats and cafés adding to the attraction. Further green spaces, including Wanstead Flats and the wider Epping Forest, provide even more opportunity to escape the pace of London and enjoy the outdoors.
What the seller says.We bought 42A Preston Road in our late twenties, and it’s where we began our family, making it a truly special home for us. We’ve loved living so close to Hollow Ponds and enjoyed many weekend coffees from Out of The Woods. The street has a wonderful community spirit, with really lovely and helpful neighbours, and the annual street party is always a highlight. We’re now selling as we move on to our next chapter. The flat is chain free, and we hope its next owners will love living here as much as we have.
