Since 2005, the house has been transformed, with expanded ground floor accommodation and a new extra floor in the roof. The result has delivered some brilliant new spaces: a highly-equipped and multi-functional kitchen-dining-family room downstairs; an extra large family bathroom on the first floor; and an additional shower room and two new bedrooms on the top.
It's a home of imaginative and inspired contrasts with sleek modernity, sharp lines and seductive modern materials placed side-by-side with original Victorian character, taking the house beyond the typical home improvements and injecting contemporary architectural elements.
On the ground floor, the classic Victorian living room at the front of the house has a splay bay window, cast iron fireplace, original cornice and ceiling rose, along with custom built contemporary alcove shelves.
Immediately behind is perhaps the piece de resistance of the property, a terrific family dining kitchen. Made from the original second reception room and a new extension with exposed interior brickwork, the room draws in natural light from skylights above and from full-width glazed folding doors to the garden.
The kitchen was beautifully fitted in 2015 by Commodore (a favourite of design-conscious property developers) with base cupboards in scratched oak, glossy white wall units and motion-sensor lit quartz worktops. Premium quality integrated Miele appliances include twin ovens, tall fridge and an 80cm wide induction hob with downdraft extractor set into a breakfast bar. It feels like a real chef's kitchen and this clever peninsula unit acts as a link between cooking, socialising or keeping a watchful eye on the children. There's also an AEG under-counter freezer, dishwasher and full height pull-out pantry carousel.
Immediately off the kitchen area a large store cupboard and an extremely useful ground floor cloakroom/utility room with wc, wash basin and space and connections for a washing machine.
Upstairs on the first floor are two bedrooms, the largest running across the front of the house with built in wardrobes to both alcoves. The other bedroom is directly behind it and overlooks the rear garden.
Also on this floor you'll find the family bathroom/wc which, created in 2010 from the original third bedroom, is larger than most of its neighbourhood peers and has underfloor heating and sumptuous Porcelenosa tiles and fittings..
The new top floor was created in 2008 and includes a dormer window to the rear and skylights to the front, allowing for two new bedrooms and a dazzling shower room (more Porcelenosa, more underfloor heating) that immediately alleviates those morning battles for the bathroom.
Finally, the rear garden faces west and extends to 17ft. It's an easy maintenance space with a surface of resin bound gravel bordered by timber fencing and with no house directly behind.
For a life immersed in Leytonstone's bustling cafe and bar scene along with access to transport, local schools and wide open space, it's Bushwood that ticks all the right boxes. This residential pocket of Victorian streets puts the best of E11 right on the doorstep: no other part of Leytonstone has a comparable location, meaning Bushwood is always in demand.
The owners of the house are firm fans of The North Star for its great Thai cooking, with other nearby favourites including Wild Goose Bakery for all day coffee and cake, and the cavernous Red Lion for artisan ales, modern pub food, film nights and live music.
Two of East London's most beautiful areas of nature are but a short stroll with the ancient woodlands of Epping Forest and the sprawling grasslands of Wanstead Flats offering wonderful walks, runs and lazy days..
There are plenty of local schools nearby - all rated Good or higher by Ofsted - including two of the most popular primaries in the postcode: Davies Lane and George Tomlinson.
For adults, commuting is swift from nearby Leytonstone tube where the Central Line whisks you to Bank in 16 mins, Oxford Circus in 24 mins, and Canary Wharf in 27 via a simple change to the DLR at Stratford (where the retail therapy at Westfield might delay the journey home).
With its own annual street festival, newsletter and website, Bushwood is a unique corner of Leytonstone where people absolutely love to live. If community spirit, neighbourliness and convenience are what you seek, you'll find them all here.

Description
With a highly-accomplished execution of style and specification, this extended four-bedroom Victorian house in Leytonstone's Bushwood neighbourhood has many of the hallmarks found in expensive boutique hotels, not least the strong sense of careful consideration and continuity that run throughout the home.Since 2005, the house has been transformed, with expanded ground floor accommodation and a new extra floor in the roof.
