Description
A spacious two-bedroom flat with a nursery/study, in sought-after Upper Leytonstone, just a 10-minute walk from Leytonstone Underground and Overground services at Leyton Midland Road, 15 minutes from Francis Roads pedestrianised hub, and 20 from Hollow Pond with great pubs, bars and eateries even closer to home.
Inside, a neutral colour palette creates a calm environment while taking advantage of the natural light that spreads through the bedrooms and the open-plan living room/kitchen. Carefully crafted finishes have been prioritised, with kitchen worktops sourced from local independent businesses, sockets and light switches replaced with modern, brushed brass, and mid-century accents incorporated throughout. The Tado smart system allows each radiator to be controlled (and a schedule set) in individual rooms, for year-round cosiness.
STEP INSIDE
As you arrive at Nicholas Court, youll pass a fenced communal front garden leading to an entrance with an intercom system. Inside the flat, a sizable hallway is decorated with calming neutral tones and parquet flooring, which are seen throughout the property to create a fresh, light feel.
To your left lies the bathroom. Here, matt flat white ceramic wall tiles and black and ivory patterned porcelain floor tiles combine for a stylish effect that complements the lighting and matt-black tapware from Lime & Lace Fittings. Above, a lightwell further illuminates a bath with an overhead rainfall shower (in matt black to match the taps and curtain rail), a modern basin vanity unit, and a close-coupled toilet.
Adjoining the bathroom, youll discover a large double bedroom with soft-toned coved walls, brightened by a dormer window large enough to fit a desk. Integrated wardrobes at one end provide plenty of storage, while mounted gold pendant reading lights frame any bed nicely.
Return to the hallway to continue into the heart of the home a fabulous open-plan dining kitchen and living room bathed in natural light by large windows to two sides and a lightwell.
The brass pendant lights match the sockets, while brushed brass handles finish grey Wren kitchen cabinetry with marble worktops sourced from a small independent business, giving the space a high-quality, bespoke feel. Integrated appliances include an AEG oven and gas hob, a Samsung cooker hood, a Sandstorm fridge, a Bosch dishwasher and a Zanussi washing machine. Theres also a deep Belfast sink with brass tapware to match the overall scheme.
A second spacious bedroom lies opposite the bathroom. Facing the side through a deep dormer window, it comes with a built-in wardrobe and stylish mounted reading lights.
Lastly, a third room adjoins the second bedroom, its complete with a dormer window and is currently being used as a nursery. However, it offers great versatility and could easily serve as a comfortable home office, creative studio, or any additional space to suit your needs.
A NOTE FROM THE OWNERS
Our home has really grown with us over the years, from a couple keen on exploring cocktails in the area to a growing family where we can spend quality time at home or in the neighbourhood. Our open plan kitchen/living room is the most used in the home because we often cook while entertaining our son on the dining table or while he‘s reading in his favourite corner by the window. We love that the space allows us to spend time together as a family, even when we need to carry out daily chores.
