Terraced house for sale in Glyn Road, London E5

The Home -

This three storey Victorian house has been thoughtfully renovated to provide real sense of home and the current owners have maximised the space with large open plan reception rooms. There is planning permission granted to extend into the garden and create a light filled kitchen/diner. There is further potential to enlarge the square footage into the loft (Subject to the usual planning consents) The West facing garden is a great sun trap and Glyn Road is moments from the ever-popular Chatsworth Road and Millfields Park.

The Indoors

Upon entry you are greeted with a homely, open plan living room that has dual aspect windows that draw in the light. The walls are a combination of Farrow and Ball and raw plaster finish, there is a Charnwood Skye woodburner, a cast iron radiator and underfoot we find the restored original floorboards. As you approach the stairs heading down to the lower ground level there is a tiled family bathroom and and also a completely separate shower room, this entire floor benefits from a sprinkler system.

Once on the lower ground floor the sense of space is apparent, the two rooms have been cleverly opened up to create a bright and spacious double room with dual aspect windows and vertically mounted radiators, in this room we have Little Greene paint and Dalsouple Rubber flooring. This room could be incorporated into the rear extension that the sellers have planning consent for. Through the hallway there is a separate W.C. The kitchen has a tiled floor, plenty of worktops, cupboard space and a gas hob. There is a double glazed, double door leading to the west facing rear garden.

Ascending up to the first floor using the original banisters, we have the restored floorboards under foot and a loft hatch providing access to the loft which is fully boarded out with a drop down ladder. Straight ahead is the master bedroom. This room is flooded with natural light from two large windows, original floorboards, bespoke built stained Ply wardrobes, Farrow and ball paint and a raw plaster ceiling. The second bedroom is a good size double and has a west facing window, original floorboards. The whole house is protected by Google Nest alarms.

The Outdoors
