Flat to rent in Francis Road, London E10

This two bedroom, first floor apartment features a dedicated front door and sits right on our famous Francis Road. There's a large private garden to the rear and substantial loft for storage. Finished to a smart, stylish standard throughout, this is a great find.

Original features like vintage timber floorboards rub shoulders with smart contemporary effects, like your striking onyx and peach wetroom, or that spacious kitchen/diner. Your finished loft space is skylit and ideal for storage, or perhaps even more.

Francis Road is one of Leyton's unquestionable destination addresses, with an ever growing choice of independent cafes, coffee shops and meeting spots. Leyton Midland Road overground is less than a half mile on foot and you have greenery nearby too.

Your new home

Step through your own private front door and climb the stairs for your striking pastel pink landing, with vintage wooden floorboards and sleek timber trim. Head to the front for your equally eye catching reception, brimming with natural light thanks to the bay window.

Aegean tilework emphasises your blank hearth, sat in an exposed brick chimney breast painted in sandstone, to match the rest of your reception's calming colour scheme. More of that lovely original timber flows underfoot throughout the entire 140 square foot space.

Next door your first bedroom comes in at over fifty square feet, ideal for a child or home office, and with its own characterful colour palette.

Moving to the rear your principal bedroom's a handsome 125 square foot double, once again full of character, with vintage timber underfoot and finished in stately slate grey up to the picture rail.

Explore that lovable landing some more, past the fixed loft ladder (we'll get up there in a moment) and you come to your kitchen.

It's another wonderfully characterful space, with vaulted timber panelling overhead and bespoke pine cabinets under smooth marbled worktops, striking designer splashbacks and a Dublin sink. Oversized grey floor tiles flow underfoot.

Your bathroom is, perhaps, the most striking find yet. Tiled from top to toe in peach pink, it's home to a stroll in rainfall shower, artfully finished with onyx trim. There's a smoke grey vessel sink and designer tilework underfoot. Five star luxury indeed.

To the rear of the property you have handy utility space before you reach the internal stairs leading out to your garden.

Here you have an immaculate arrangement of oversized paving stones laid over pebbles and flanked by timber fencing. It all ends in a charming brick wall backdrop with lush overhanging greenery, a perfect morning coffee spot.

Finally, back inside and upstairs to that skylit loft room, 140 square feet and perfect for storage or hobbyists.
