Stylish and sensitively renovated with beautiful décor, a bespoke kitchen and a low-maintenance private garden, this immaculate three-bedroom first-floor Victorian maisonette blends period details with elegant contemporary touches.

Sash windows and original restored floorboards give a respectful nod to the past, while calming Farrow & Ball paint shades, designer light switches, column-style radiators, and brand new carpets make this a wonderfully comfortable, future-proofed home.

In a designated Low Traffic Neighbourhood, the property sits on a wide tree-lined street belonging to the historic J G Abraham era, which saw Scotts Road and the surrounding neighbourhood gain around 500 apartments reflecting the Victorian talent for thoughtful and liveable spaces. These sought-after homes lend themselves to well-thought-out improvements, as this one perfectly illustrates.

Step inside

Shielded by a low brick wall topped with leafy laurel, a path leads past the dove grey-painted brick exterior to a recessed front porch. To your left, you’ll find a private four-panelled front door painted in Farrow & Ball ‘Blazer’, opening to a hallway where F&B ‘Light Blue’ walls pair with brand new floor tiles from Fired Earth.

Warmed by a cast-iron radiator and lit by a tall window, it also has hanging space for coats and stairs with black ‘Railings’ bannisters, where the new Fibre Flatweave Classic Small Boucle Ochre carpet flows onto the first-floor landing.

Here, you’ll find a useful cupboard with louvred doors, while the Farrow & Ball ‘Light Blue’ tones continue in the dining kitchen and study. You’ll also find access to a loft storage space included in the lease that could be converted to provide an extra bedroom and second bathroom (subject to the usual planning and constraints).

To your left at the top of the stairs, rich-toned oak engineered flooring leads into an open plan reception room and kitchen space. The space lit by a wide, side-facing sash window and a brass and opal glass globe light fitting, which enhances the coved ceiling.

The chimney breast is framed by bespoke floating alcove shelving and cupboards for storage, with the design finished off by antique bronze light switches, sockets by Corston Architectural, and Heritage Brass internal door knobs fitted to F&B ‘Shaded White’ four-panelled doors for a cohesive look.

In the kitchen beyond, fitted in June 2021, a ‘Picture Gallery Red’ sash window offers views out to the garden while bespoke viridian solid ash framed kitchen units with brass knobs by Kitchen Stori pair with a marble-look stone worktop and handmade glazed white ceramic tiles to the splashback.

Integrated appliances include a Hotpoint dishwasher, oven, and induction hob with a Bosch extractor hood. Other stylish details include a hot water tap - with filtered drinking water, a breakfast bar, under-cabinet LED lighting, and striking ‘Crayon Lamp’ vintage-style pendants in blue by Danish company Hubsch. The Worchester boiler (fitted in 2018) is also housed here.

Beyond, a staircase leads down to the garden, where you’ll find a utility area with a Bosch Series 4 washer dryer (purchased Nov 23) and two fitted shelves above, providing handy storage for detergents and freeing up more space in the kitchen.

For now, open the door to your right to find a family bathroom lit by a frosted side-facing window. With fresh white walls and square grid formation white tiles with contrasting charcoal grouting, a white heated towel rail and sustainable cork floor tiles (which feel fantastic underfoot) add warmth. A deep Japanese-style bathtub with rainfall shower overhead, handmade in Somerset by Omnitub, offers luxury, while a basin with vanity and chrome mixer tap and a close-coupled loo complete the suite.

Return to the hallway to discover the primary bedroom, currently used as a living room. It’s filled with light from a large double-glazed UPVC sash bay with frosted lower panels for privacy and bespoke blackout linen Roman blinds. A Cormar Malabar Two Fold carpet in Koala runs underfoot, while the walls are painted Oval Room Blue by Farrow & Ball. The focal point is the cast iron fireplace with Carrara marble surround, and there’s also a column-style radiator underneath the window.

The second bedroom – an airy, good-sized double – big enough to be the primary bedroom – lies beyond and features warming ‘Setting Plaster’ walls and a soft carpet. A tall sash window with an attractive horizontal column-style radiator beneath overlooks the side return courtyard.

The third bedroom is adjacent to the living room. It has exposed floorboards, a front-facing timber sash in ‘Picture Gallery Red’, and a column-style radiator to match those elsewhere. Currently used as a study, it would make a lovely nursery or child’s bedroom.

Outdoors

Outside, pale-painted timber fencing encloses a 30ft bright and well-maintained garden that captures the sun from the afternoon to the late evening. From the back door, a small patio area with a useful outdoor-rated electrical point and garden tap leads to a LazyLawn grass lawn edged with a border containing plants such as phormium, hydrangeas and lilies. To the rear, a large porcelain-tiled seating area framed with white pebbles creates the perfect spot for barbeques, entertaining or relaxing.

Getting around

The Overground at Leyton Midland Road is around a 10-minute stroll and has a swift change to the Victoria Line at Blackhorse Road, while the Tube at Leytonstone is about 15 minutes' walk, making light work of getting to the City, West End, Canary Wharf and South Bank. Just two stops away, Stratford hosts the beautiful Queen Elizabeth Park and serious retail therapy at Westfield.

In the neighbourhood

Just moments from Francis Road, the location is one of Leyton's most constantly in demand, thanks to its urban village of independent local businesses. Firm favourites include Yardarm wine bar, Phlox bookstore, Edie Rose florist, and Pause yoga studio.

Our local sellers often recommend Morny Bakery (‘hands down the tastiest pastries in east London’), Marmelo Kitchen (‘the best hot chocolate in Leyton’) and Bread & Oregano for a cheeky lunch of delicious gyros wraps packed with Mediterranean flavours. Nearby, you'll also find Filly Brook craft beer hall, the Gravity Well Taproom brewery & bar, the Coach & Horses and the Heathcote & Star pub, renowned for serving a fantastic Sunday roast.

Just around the corner is Leyton County Cricket Ground with its wonderful Edwardian pavilion, while Coronation Gardens is a 13-minute walk away. The location is perfectly placed to enjoy the beautiful green spaces of Olympic Park, Wanstead Flats, and Hollow Ponds – all within a 30-minute walk (or a short cycle ride).

Schools


Popular and well-performing schools with an Ofsted rating of Good or above include two local primaries, Newport and Dawlish, and Norlington Secondary & 6th Form for Boys.
