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.
GETTING AROUND
Wallwood Road occupies a convenient and peaceful spot in Upper Leytonstone, around 10 minutes walk from Leytonstone Underground station from where the Central Line whizzes into the City and West End, with a quick change at Stratford to the Jubilee line for Canary Wharf, the South Bank and Westminster. Alternatively, head to Leyton Midland Road for Overground services for the Gospel Oak to Barking line.
IN THE NEIGHBOURHOOD
Just a short walk from two great neighbourhood watering holes the Heathcote & Star pub and Filly Brook bar Wallwood Roads location is equally suited for a wander into the bustle of High Road Leytonstone or down to Leyton Village on Francis Road.
Between the two, you‘ll find plenty of local favourites, including authentic Thai cooking at The North Star, locally brewed coffee at Perky Blenders, remarkable wines at Yardarm, and excellent pastries at Wild Goose Bakery. Or try Michael‘s fish bar just down the road, Masala India, Gravity Well Taproom for craft beer and wine at Arch Deli, brunch at Out of the Woods, and the tropical fruit and veg store on Hainault Road.
For those who love the great outdoors, Wanstead Flats and Hollow Pond are close by. A short walk, Tube, drive, or cycle will lead you to Epping Forest, which offers 2,400 hectares of green open space and woodland. In the other direction, the Olympic Park, Hackney Marshes, Lea Valley horse riding and ice skating are all within easy reach via quiet cycle routes.
In addition, the current owners recommend Lloyd Park, which has a great farmers market at the weekend, Luna for independent live music, and the Pure Muscles gym on Wood Street.
SCHOOLS
There are a range of schools nearby, including Gwyn Jones Primary, Leyton Sixth Form College, and Leytonstone School, all rated Good by Ofsted. A handful of Good‘-rated pre-schools are also within a short walk.

What Other Related Technologies Does PropertyHeads Use, and Why?
Tracking Pixels: Our advertising partners may use tracking pixels or similar technology to measure the success of the sponsored posts or other advertising products they use. A “tracking pixel” (also sometimes called web beacon, or clear GIF) is a tiny piece of code, invisible to the user, placed on a webpage or in an email and used in combination with a cookie, to link a given activity or impression back to the user; the advertiser includes it in its content so it can measure whether our members interact with that content (for example, by clicking to view an offer). We may set our own tracking pixel on an advertiser’s website so we can measure whether our members found the advertiser’s content effective or interesting, by tracking whether the sponsored post prompted members to take advantage of the advertised offer. This information helps us assess whether sponsored posts and other advertising offers are relevant and interesting to our members and successful for the advertiser.
