Clementina Road Leyton , E10 7LT

IF YOU LIVED HERE…

You’ll gain instant pride from living somewhere with such an iconic design. Developed by Walthamstow’s first mayor, Sir Thomas Courtenay Warner at the turn of the last century, these properties are incredibly popular today - and this one’s even more of gem thanks to its extra loft space.

Your front reception room has been beautifully preserved with thoughtful updates such as the bespoke carpentry and spotless decor, exposed brick through entrance and corridor, all bathed in light from the generously-sized windows. Skylights have been put in to flood light through the flat. The focal fireplace adds really charm, and there’s plenty of space for dining.

Both the spacious bedrooms have more immaculate decor, as well as those beautiful original floorboards. The kitchen hits the sweet spot between being characterful but also modern, with its teal units, integrated appliances, timber accents and clever space-saving design along with quartz kitchen tops. This theme is continued in the striking bathroom, where you’ll love the glossy aqua tiles and countertop basin. Your hallways is bright and spacious, and the extra room in the loft will be ultra-convenient.

You’ll enjoy making the most of your spacious rear garden - perfect for catching rays when the sun is shining (and you should get a few since it’s south-facing). You’ve also got plenty more greenery to explore nearby; Jubilee Park is just a short stroll away, while Hackney Marshes is slightly further.

Head a few minutes north and you’ll reach Lea Bridge Road, which has become a hot spot for independents, such as eco-refill store-cum-coffee shop Cups & Jars, Italian deli with a Japanese influence Pinch la Deli and eclectic event space/bar/pizzeria Patchworks, which now houses Blondies brewery - a great choice for a new local.

If you’re looking for a coffee and some peace and quiet, look no further than the nearby Lea Bridge Library, which won multiple design awards last year when a stunning extension housing a cafe was added to the Grade-II listed building.
