Fillebrook Road, London, E11

If you’re looking for a bright, modern and spacious first-floor rental apartment in the heart of Leytonstone, this character-filled period gem fits the bill. Featuring two bedrooms, a contemporary kitchen and bathroom, and a large multi-functional living space, the flat is also ideally located within a short walk of the restaurants, pubs, and eateries thronging the High Road and both Tube and Overground services.

You’ll find the apartment in a residential street just around the corner from Filly Brook bar, well-set back from the road behind trees and a private drive that belongs to the flat.

A traditional Victorian brick exterior with attractive mouldings around the bay windows and the recessed front door welcomes you as you step inside and head up to the top floor. Here, a neutrally decorated split-level hallway with high ceilings, recessed downlights, and wooden floorboards connects the accommodation together.

Passing a useful storage cupboard on the upper hallway, you’ll notice the exposed wooden floor and the soft grey paintwork beneath the picture rails flow into the fabulous living and dining room, which is illuminated by plenty of downlights to the coved ceiling and a wide canted bay and sash window with fitted Venetian blinds. Tall cupboards and floating shelves on either side of the chimney breast provide storage.

Behind the living room, you’ll discover a good-sized double bedroom painted in the same calming light grey shades to the coved ceiling to complement a fitted grey carpet. Meanwhile, a big sash window with a blind draws in lots of natural light.

Step down onto the lower level to discover a cute, spacious bathroom with cream floor tiles to match the metro tiling around a bathtub with a glass-screened overhead shower. There’s also an attractive cream vanity basin unit with a coordinating shelf and mirrored cabinet above, a close-coupled toilet and a chrome heated towel rail. A frosted awning window, along with recessed downlights, brightens the suite.

Continue along to find an attractive and well-planned kitchen featuring lavender shaker-style cabinetry with marble-effect worktops and a white metro-tiled splashback. There’s a sink beneath the window and an integrated gas hob with an extractor hood and an inbuilt oven, microwave and fridge-freezer.
