Owners Comments... We have loved living in this home for the past 24 years, it has been a place full of warmth , laughter and cherished memories. Over the years we extended the house to create a spacious welcoming environment, perfect for family life with a fabulous open plan kitchen, dining and living area that flows beautifully in to the sun filled garden. The garden has been a haven for summer days, offering plenty of space to relax, play and entertain. Living in Upper Leytonstone has also been a joy, the friendly tight community has made it truly feel like home. While its incredibly difficult for our family to say goodbye we are looking forward starting a new chapter and we hope the next owners will love this home as much as we have.
