Norman Road, Leytonstone, London, E11 4RL

This three bedroom house for sale in well-loved Leytonstone offers plenty of space, with three large bedrooms, two receptions and a sprawling kitchen-diner. A great opportunity for someone looking for a property to renovate or a growing family, this property puts you right on the doorstep of excellent amenities, transport links and local schools.
Sitting on a quiet residential street, the property has retained its original period character, with decorative mouldings and an arched covered porch. The smart black front door with a window above opens into the hallway, with the first reception on your left. Benefitting from lots of natural light from the almost full-height bay, this room has ample space for a comfy sofa or suite. One of two recessed alcoves has been fitted with low storage and high shelving, and the original floorboards - found through much of the property - would look wonderful restored to their former glory. Next door, the second reception is another good-sized space, overlooking the rear garden and also featuring recessed shelving and wooden flooring and is currently being used as a home office. At the end of the hallway is the impressive kitchen/diner, which offers an incredible hub for a busy home. Entering the dining area, a large bay window looks out to the side-return and there’s a footprint to fit a good-sized dining table plus storage furniture. The kitchen area is slightly separated by a fixed island/breakfast bar, and offers another side-aspect window – with sink below – to bathe the entire space in light. Dark granite-style worktops run throughout, complementing the smart beech units and providing more than enough space to cook up a storm. There’s an integrated oven, hob and extractor, and beyond the kitchen is a small lean-to conservatory, ready for your fridge-freezer and washing machine. Exiting the kitchen, the side return and rear garden are fully paved and surrounded by high fences for privacy, this charming rear garden with mature plums and raspberries, as well as established borders bring a touch of nature, and there’s real flexibility to purpose this into a gorgeous outdoor space. Heading upstairs to the split-level landing, with a skylight above allowing plenty of natural light to seep through. Bedroom one at the front has been partitioned into two rooms, and the smaller area would make a great dressing room (currently used as storage and a reading nook), which could be reopened to create a generous footprint spanning the width of the property. The middle bedroom overlooks the side return and is another good-sized room that would happily accommodate a double bed. Next is the bathroom, fully serviceable although it would benefit from an update. The space is fully tiled in white with a turquoise mosaic border and fitted with a three-piece suite, consisting of a wash basin, WC and bath with a shower above. Finally, the rear bedroom offers another bright space with views to the rear. As with other parts of the property, there are good original floorboards here that would make a lovely feature. Another double room, a recessed area to the chimney breast provides a lovely nook for a desk, bed or reading spot. Leytonstone is a lively community with everything you need right at hand. The area is well served by public transport, with Leytonstone Central Line station around a ten minute walk and Leytonstone High Road Overground just five minutes. There are good schools close by, and Leytonstone High Road, with its many shops and other amenities, is just a five-minute walk. Well-known local hospitality options are also a short walk away, including the popular shops and cafes of Francis Road, such as the Unity Café, Heathcote and Star pub and a popular favourite in Upper Leytonstone, Back to Ours Coffee, offering lovely coffee and brunch options.
Well served for supermarkets, including M&S Food Hall, Aldi, Tesco, and The Continental Food Exchange. Plus Leyton Mills Retail Park is also just moments away. Love the outdoors then Hackney Marshes, Wanstead Flats / Hollow Ponds and Walthamstow Wetlands nature reserve are also within easy reach.
