A word from the owner...

"I was drawn to the property because it is situated in a quiet street with a peaceful vibe. I found the property deceptively spacious, and well appointed, and I have enjoyed the calming views from the secluded balcony when having my morning coffee.
The flat is part of a very small development of only eight flats – and my neighbours are a great bunch of people!
What I have enjoyed most about living in Leytonstone, is the convenient location and excellent transport links. Leytonstone station is only an 8 minute walk and Leyton Midland station is a 10 minute walk, with both getting me into the City in 20 mins. I have found it to be a vibrant and diverse neighbourhood, surrounded by Epping Forest, popular with young professionals like me, and the pubs, cafes and restaurants are great!"
