3 Bedroom Terraced House for sale in London

2 3 1

Guide Price - £750,000-£775,000 - A gorgeous and spacious three bedroom Victorian terraced villa for sale in the sought-after Bushwood area of Leytonstone. Ideal for family living with two reception rooms, a large kitchen-diner and three large bedrooms, there’s also a rear garden which includes a summer house and exceptional local amenities on your doorstep. Approaching from the quiet, tree-lined residential street, you’ll immediately be struck by the exceptional architectural detail on the property’s façade. There are intricately detailed lintels, columns and mullioned windows, which include a carving of the Green Man above the front door as a sign of welcome. The small front garden, which affords privacy from the street, is primarily paved for low maintenance – and being south-facing has the potential to be transformed into a sunny cottage garden, with space for a seating area from where you can watch the world go by. Enter through the part-glazed front door and you’ll find yourself in a small vestibule which leads into the main hallway via a second, fully glazed door. The bright, long hallway provides access to the stairs to the first floor and all downstairs rooms, and offers plenty of space for coat and shoe storage, plus a large radiator and attractive timber laminate flooring. The first door to your left leads into the first reception room. With its lovely south-facing bay window bringing in lots of natural light and its abundance of original features, this is a wonderful family sitting room. There’s space for comfortable sofas, an entertainment unit, bookcases and side tables, plus the potential for a real statement furniture piece in the bay window which would perfectly emphasise this room’s sense of grandeur. Walls are decorated in a soft cream with a feature wall in complementary cappuccino, which combined give the room a sense of tranquillity guaranteed to promote relaxation and enjoyment of time spent with family and friends. The traditional timber fire surround with tiled insert and coal effect gas fire add to the feeling of comfort. Floors are a rich mid-tone timber laminate and there’s plenty of space for a large and stylish rug for an extra touch of luxury. The extensive wall space would also be the ideal location to display your favourite artwork, an ornate mirror or your treasured photos.  Returning to the hall and the next door to the left takes you into the second reception room. Sharing many of the first reception room’s features such as picture rails and deep coving, this would make an ideal dining room or second sitting room. Decoration in this room is modern with light grey walls and carpet, complemented by a timber fire surround with tiled insert. This room looks out onto the side return area of the garden and there would be potential to create direct access to the garden with a French window, which would also maximise the availablenatural light.  The final room on the ground floor is the attractive kitchen-diner, refurbished just a year or so ago. The first part of the room is currently used as an informal dining space with a kitchen table looking out onto the side garden, and from here there’s also access to the garden via a glazed door. You’ll note space along the opposite wall for some small units or informal seating, and a door leads down to a useful basement storage area. The second half of this space is laid out as a U-shaped kitchen, with a large window overlooking the rear garden and a plethora of base and wall units and plenty of work surfaces for prepping those culinary treats. The cabinets are in a modern light grey with contrasting black hardware, and the worksurfaces in a butcher’s block pattern laminate. The free-standing cooker with gas hob has a stainless steel extractor above and there’s plumbed-in space for a washing machine and tumble drier or dishwasher – plus the modern gas combi boiler is also housed in this area. Splashbacks are formed from bevelled-edge grey tiles with a gloss finish which are laid in a stylish running bond pattern, and the room is finished with contemporary, industrial themed, greyed oak laminate flooring. Before we head upstairs, we’ll investigate the rear garden which is accessed through the glazed door to the side return. The garden is largely paved to maximise the potential for entertaining and relaxing, and you’ll also note a lean-to outbuilding against the exterior kitchen wall. Additionally, on a raised deck area to the rear of the garden, there’s also a timber shed and an attractive summerhouse, which could easily be converted into a charming home office, studio or relaxing retreat with the integration of the necessary utilities.  We’ll return through the kitchen now and back to the hall to allow us to explore the first floor. Typical for this period of property, even the staircase has well-crafted details including turned wood newel posts, balusters and handrail. The spilt-level landing features a handy built-in cupboard on the lower level with additional space for some free-standing storage on the upper level. Immediately facing the top of the main staircase is bedroom three, which looks out onto the rear garden. There’s room here for a small double bed, or alternatively this would make a fantastic child’s bedroom, nursery or study space. Decoration is simple with white walls and ceiling and a complementary light timber laminate floor. There’s also a large double glazed window with a radiator below. The next room along the landing and to the right is the family bathroom. This is a large space, which would benefit from a little modernisation to provide a generous, luxurious bathroom fit for modern family life. There’s currently a vanity unit with large inset hand basin and matching tall storage cabinet, a bathtub with shower and glazed shower panel plush a low flush WC. Walls are fully tiled in white, helping to harness the light coming in through the large double glazed window, and the bathroom is finished with a limed oak laminate floor. Back to the landing and, once again on the right, you’ll find a large airing cupboard with its own window. This provides useful extra storage, but as part of a broader development project, might be incorporated into the family bathroom to provide space for a separate shower cubicle. It could also perhaps be converted to provide an additional WC or even a separate shower room if space was borrowed from the already generous family bathroom. As with many areas of this property, a little remodelling could unleash even more potential than it already offers.  Up the small flight of stairs next and to the upper level of the landing where first of all, to the right, we find the second bedroom. This is a generous double room which looks out onto the rear garden. Once again there’s a double glazed window with radiator below, light coloured laminate flooring and simple decoration, on this occasion with walls in a warm cream. Finally, at the end of the landing, is the main bedroom. This is a large double bedroom, spanning the entire width of the property and benefitting from two south-facing windows, which allow an abundance of natural light. Befitting its status as the main bedroom of a property of this period, there are attractive original features including generous coving, a picture rail and original sash windows. There’s room here for a comfy double bed, wardrobes, additional storage furniture and a cosy armchair for reading or listening to your favourite music in a tranquil setting. White walls and a light laminate floor combine to really accentuate the generous amount of natural light and feeling of space.   The ever popular Bushwood area of Leytonstone has a quiet community feel but is blessed with excellent amenities on the doorstep. The property is on a quiet residential street with residents only parking but has easy access to all the services offered by Leytonstone High Road and surrounding areas, including bars, restaurants, shops and supermarkets. Close by are exceptional hospitality businesses such as thequirky Mammoth Tap, The North Star pub, Leytonstone Tavern and La Rioja London tapas restaurant. The area is well served by public transport, with Leytonstone High Road overground station being less than a fifteen minute walk and Leytonstone Central Line underground station around ten minutes. The nearest bus stop is less than a five minute walk and there’s easy access to the A12 which will get you to the North Circular and M11 in just a few minutes. There are good schools close by, including the Davies Lane Primary school and the popular Buxton School which caters for ages from nursery through to secondary.  If you’re keen on outdoor activities, the wonderful Wanstead Flats are literally one minutes’ walk away at the end of the road, with Hackney Marshes, Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and Walthamstow Wetlands nature reserve within easy reach. Multiple sports amenities are alsoavailable nearby at the local leisure and sports centres in Leyton, Leytonstone and Wanstead.
