Flat for sale in London E11, 2 Bedroom

Detailed Description

Located in Leytonstone's most sought-after neighbourhood, Bushwood, this two-bedroom apartment is on the first floor of a small three-storey block from the mid 20th century that is entirely owner-occupied. Apartments cannot be rented out here and the building has an active residents association that is run with a real sense of ownership and pride.

With wide picture windows and sandy coloured brickwork, Bushview is a well-maintained and classic example of 60s and 70s style. Inside are just 6 apartments, each with a share of the freehold.

This apartment extends to 647sq ft and is offered for sale in good decorative order with double-glazed aluminium-framed windows in every room; gas fired central heating; fitted wardrobes to the master bedroom; and fitted carpets to the living room and bedrooms.

As soon as you walk through the front door you notice the natural light in the entrance hall that comes from a large glass section in the wall to the living room and a louvered transom above the door for extra light and airflow - a definitive pairing of mid-century modern design.

The bathroom has a contemporary white suite including a bath with electric shower and glazed screen, a wall-mounted washbasin and close-coupled wc. Walls are clad to full height in stone coloured tiles.

The kitchen offers scope for improvement but is nonetheless fitted with a plenty of wall and base cupboards, white worktops, inset sink and integrated oven, hob and extractor. There are spaces for a washing machine, dishwasher and tall fridge/freezer. There's also a large and original built in larder.

Bushview has a regularly maintained communal lawn behind the building and this apartment includes one of the garages in the rear block with access through a secure gated driveway to the side.

The location is one of the best in Leytonstone. Just a few minutes walk from the shops and cafes on High Road Leytonstone, the apartment is also just a couple of minutes walk from the beautiful Wanstead Flats, one of the most beautiful areas of open green space in East London.

Living in Bushwood also puts the village-like atmosphere of Wanstead within walking distance, with bars, cafes, restaurants and shops huddled around the lovely Christ Church Green.

Leytonstone Central Line station (24 hours at weekends) is about 10 minutes walk with journey times to Stratford of 5 mins, Bank 16 mins and Oxford Circus 24 mins, plus there are plenty of buses, including night routes, running along the High Road.
