2 Bedroom Detached House for sale in London

2 2 1

A beautifully presented two bedroom detached cottage in popular Bushwood which has been extended to provide spacious living accommodation. There are two elegant reception rooms - one of which leads into the stylish kitchen - a conservatory, a well-appointed bathroom, two double bedrooms, gardens and private parking for two cars. Located in the very heart of the beautiful Bushwood conservation area, this charming cottage sits on a quiet access-only residential street with similar neighbouring properties, and retains the feel of a rural village while offering easy access to exceptional amenities.
To the side of the property is a private brick-paved parking area for two cars with additional space for bin storage and access to the rear garden. As you approach the property from the front through the delightful cottage garden, you’re immediately struck by the attractive double fronted façade with its brick mullioned bay and original sash windows. Built from the local London stock yellow brick with red brick trim, the fan style brick lintels above the windows and door make a real statement with their deep red colour, set against the traditional brass hardware and glazed transom above the main entrance. Entering the property you find yourself in a small hallway which receives natural light from the transom window. Straight ahead is the attractive staircase with its original, exposed timber treads and risers, and to each side are the doors to the two reception rooms. Decoration is simple and modern with white painted walls – a common theme throughout the property, cleverly enhancing the sense of space within each room. To the left is reception room one, a cosy living room which has abundant natural light from the large bay window. There’s space for a settee and comfy armchairs, and the bay window would make the perfect reading nook with views out over the garden and to the street beyond. The alcoves to either side of the chimney breast house bespoke built-in bookcases and storage, and there’s an attractive log burner set into the fireplace with a slate hearth. The attractive original floorboards have been stained and sealed and there’s a radiator set within the bay. Back to the hallway and straight ahead is the second reception room which also overlooks the front garden. Currently used as a second sitting room, this would also make an ideal dining room with its direct connection to the kitchen – and the alcoves either side of the fireplace could easily accommodate additional storage or seating. Once again, the original floorboards have been restored and the fireplace has been formed to create an attractive display niche. There’s also a useful understairs storage cupboard and a traditional style cast iron radiator. The second reception room is separated from the kitchen by a large peninsular workspace which has been ingeniously designed to form a bookcase on the side facing the reception room.
The kitchen has attractive white shaker-style cabinets and drawers, including a full height larder unit and built-in fridge freezer. Work surfaces are high quality multi-hued granite which provides a real feature in this space. The peninsula has an inset gas hob and built-in oven and below the window - which overlooks the rear garden - is a large Belfast style sink complemented by a traditional style brushed chrome mixer tap. Backsplashes are formed from gloss white bevelled edge tiles, flooring is slate tiles laid in a random pattern and there’s a roof light window which provides additional natural light. Beyond the kitchen, to the right is a glazed door to a conservatory. There are built-in cupboards to the right and left, one of which houses the gas boiler, and straight ahead is the door to the family bathroom.
This well designed and stylish bathroom receives exceptional natural light from a window facing the rear garden and a roof light in the inclined ceiling. There’s a high quality three piece bathroom suite comprising of a low flush WC with cistern built into the wall, a bathtub with mixer tap and shower above, and a large hand basin set above a bulkhead which forms a shelf across the full width of the bathroom. There’s a wall mounted mixer tap set into a backsplash of white tessellated tiles above the hand basin, plus a full width mirrored cabinet. Slate tiles in multiple shades of grey cover the floors, the walls, the side of the bath, the bulkhead and the window reveals, to create a spectacular luxury feel in this space. From the bathroom and through the glazed door to the conservatory, which being fully glazed and south-west facing is a fantastic space to relax and enjoy the view out to the rear garden. Flooring here matches the kitchen and double doors to the side lead out to the paved terrace. The rear garden provides excellent privacy for relaxing or entertaining. There are apple and pear trees, and potential to extend the existing terrace area, create a small lawn or venture into the realms of horticulture with a vegetable patch. Back through to the hallway and the stairs lead to a small landing with a small window facing the rear garden and access to the two double bedrooms.
To the right is bedroom two, a good sized double bedroom looking out across the front of the property. There’s room for a comfy double bed, bedside cabinets, wardrobes and additional storage furniture. Floors are original dark-stained boards to provide a cosy environment, and this room also benefits from a radiator and built-in storage cupboard.
Across the landing is bedroom one, which also has views to the rear garden. The highlight of this room is the spectacular vaulted ceiling with exposed original beams and full height chimney breast. The alcoves have built-in bookshelves and there’s a cast iron fireplace set into a timber surround, with mantelpiece above and a slate hearth. Floors match those of bedroom two, and there’s a large radiator below the window plus a hatch set in the upper part of the wall to provide access to the useful attic storage. The room is currently set up as a study, but with its superb ceiling height and features it would make an ideal main bedroom. The ever popular Bushwood area of Leytonstone has a quiet community feel but is blessed with excellent amenities on the doorstep. All the services offered by Leytonstone High Road and surrounding areas, including bars, restaurants, shops and supermarkets are on the doorstep. Close by are exceptional hospitality businesses such as the North Star pub, the quirky Mammoth Tap, Leytonstone Tavern and La Rioja London tapas restaurant. The area is well served by public transport, with Leytonstone High Road overground station being a fifteen minute walk and Leytonstone Central Line underground station around ten minutes. The nearest bus stop is less than a two minute walk and there’s easy access to the A12 which will get you to the North Circular and M11 in just a few minutes.
If you’re keen on outdoor activities, the wonderful Wanstead Flats are just two minutes’ walk away at the end of the road, with Hackney Marshes, Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and Walthamstow Wetlands nature reserve within easy reach.
