An Exquisite Six Bedroom House For Sale In The Upper Leytonstone Conservation Area

Beautifully restored and thoughtfully renovated, this exceptional six-bedroom residence in the sought-after Upper Leytonstone Conservation Area seamlessly blends elegant Victorian character with striking contemporary design. Meticulously finished throughout, the property offers an impressive balance of space, style and practicality, complemented by a landscaped garden and detached studio. Quite simply more than stunning, this property is a real show-stopper.

From the moment you arrive, the home makes a lasting impression. The beautifully restored Victorian façade showcases original red brickwork and period architectural detailing, while traditional timber sash windows with plantation shutters perfectly preserve its timeless charm. A generous paved driveway provides off-street parking for at least two vehicles, while also offering a welcome sense of privacy from the road.

The spacious, tiled porch welcomes you to the deep sage front door, framed by stained glass inserts and a glazed surround. Stepping inside, the grandeur of the property is immediately apparent. Soaring ceilings, beautifully stripped and sanded timber flooring, and elegant wall panelling create a warm and sophisticated atmosphere, while natural light flows effortlessly throughout. The striking geometric tiling from the porch continues into the hallway, enhancing the seamless transition from exterior to interior.

The first reception room is both elegant and inviting, with dual-aspect windows and doors flooding the space with natural light. Generous proportions allow for flexible furnishing arrangements, while full-height period panelling sits beautifully alongside an exposed brick chimney breast and integrated log burner. A traditional black radiator provides a contemporary contrast against the crisp white décor.

Across the hallway, the second reception room offers exceptional versatility, ideal as a formal sitting room, family lounge or entertaining space. Another exposed brick chimney breast features a period tiled fireplace with marble surround, while ornate cornicing and wall panelling add further character and refinement.

Beneath the staircase, access is provided to a fully tanked cellar, offering valuable dry and secure storage space.

To the rear of the home lies the spectacular dining and kitchen extension - undoubtedly one of the property’s standout features. The dining area centres around an exposed brick fireplace with log burner and comfortably accommodates a large family dining table. Beyond, the bespoke kitchen has been beautifully designed with sleek grey cabinetry, elegant Corian worktops and a striking white marble island with integrated hob. A full range of integrated appliances includes oven, microwave and fridge freezer, while polished concrete flooring with underfloor heating adds both style and comfort. A second entrance from the hallway offers direct access into the kitchen area, enhancing the practical layout.

An additional seating area with exposed brickwork provides the perfect setting for informal dining, relaxed family living or morning coffee, while bespoke timber shelving and panelling complete this exceptional heart of the home.

Practicality has been equally well considered, with a dedicated utility room housing a washing machine, dryer and water softener, discreetly positioned beside the kitchen. Adjacent is a stylish downstairs cloakroom featuring a WC, vanity sink unit and matching polished concrete flooring.

Stretching across the rear elevation, two sets of black-framed bi-fold doors flood the kitchen and dining space with natural light while creating a striking contemporary contrast against the home’s traditional detailing. During warmer months, the doors open fully to create an effortless indoor-outdoor lifestyle.

Outside, a raised terrace with elegant black railings overlooks the beautifully maintained garden below. A large paved side return leads to a lower patio area with ample space for outdoor seating, entertaining or even a hot tub. The generous lawn is bordered by mature planting, hedging and tall fencing, ensuring both privacy and tranquillity.

A further highlight of the property is the superb detached studio situated at the rear of the garden. Finished with polished concrete flooring and complete with its own kitchenette and shower room, this versatile space could serve as a home office, creative studio, gym, guest accommodation or peaceful retreat.

Ascending the white balustrade staircase with black handrail, the first floor hosts four well-proportioned bedrooms, all benefitting from large windows, neutral décor and the continuation of the home’s warm timber flooring.

The family bathroom has been finished to an exceptional standard, combining contemporary styling with classic Victorian influences. Underfloor heating adds a luxurious touch, while the suite comprises a high-level cistern WC, vanity sink unit and an elegant freestanding roll-top bath with shower attachment. Exposed brickwork, timber panelling, geometric tiling, inset shelving, gold fittings and a traditional heated towel rail complete the beautifully curated design.

To the front, one bedroom features a generous footprint, exposed brick chimney breast and original fireplace with marble surround. Another substantial double bedroom benefits from a side-aspect window, separate dressing area and a stunning green-tiled en-suite with walk-in shower.

Two further double bedrooms overlook the rear garden, including one with a charming Juliette balcony and another featuring an exposed brick chimney breast, period fireplace and stylish monochrome en-suite shower room.

The second floor reveals an expertly designed loft conversion comprising two further impressive double bedrooms, each with its own en-suite shower room. Skylights and sloped ceilings add both character and natural light, while stripped timber flooring and crisp white walls continue the home’s cohesive design aesthetic. Excellent additional storage is provided via full-width eaves access and a further concealed landing cupboard.

The scale, quality and attention to detail throughout this remarkable home are impossible to overlook. Combining elegant Victorian proportions with carefully considered contemporary enhancements, the property offers a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and versatile family residence perfectly suited to modern living. Further practical benefits include a Mega Flow boiler system, water softener, full alarm system, CCTV and entry phone system.

Perfectly positioned within the highly desirable Upper Leytonstone Conservation Area, the property enjoys easy access to the open green spaces of Hollow Ponds and Leyton Flats, as well as the nearby Sir Alfred Hitchcock Hotel. The cafés, restaurants and independent shops of the High Road are all close at hand, while Whipps Cross University Hospital and Leytonstone Underground Station are both within walking distance. The area is also renowned for its selection of highly regarded local schools.
