Description

This recently completed two-bedroom house in Leyton has been designed to sensitively sit at the end of a terrace of mid-century houses. The exterior is built in pale brick, with carefully proportioned openings that reference the surrounding context while introducing large areas of glazing to maximise natural light.

The ground floor is arranged as a single open space for living, dining and cooking, with polished concrete floors and exposed joists above. A bespoke plywood kitchen incorporates integrated appliances, a larder and extensive storage. The living room is set around a large window overlooking the garden and incorporates a corner sofa, creating a relaxed focal point within the space. Glazing opens directly onto a private garden with decked terrace and a separate garden studio. A guest WC is also located on this level.

A refined modern interior runs throughout the house, defined by consistent material choices and bespoke detailing. The plywood staircase, with integrated storage, leads upstairs to two large bedrooms, each with built-in desks, storage and en-suite bathrooms. Finishes include terrazzo and tiled surfaces in bathrooms, carpeted floors in bedrooms and consistent use of plywood joinery, including the stair. Skylights further enhance the sense of light.

Area and transport

Situated in Leyton, the house is well placed for some of East London’s best green spaces. Hackney Marshes, the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and Wanstead Flats are all close by, offering extensive space for walking, cycling and sport.

Francis Road is less than five minutes’ walk away and has become a lively hub of independent cafés, shops and a patisserie. Leyton High Road and nearby Stratford provide a wider range of shopping and amenities.

Transport links are excellent. Leyton Underground station on the Central Line offers quick journeys into central London, while Leyton Midland Road connects to the Overground network. Several bus routes also serve the area, giving further options for travel across the city.
