Redesigned by RIBA award-winning architect and design consultant Brian Macken, this characterful five-bedroom Victorian house is positioned on a quiet no-through road in Leyton. Macken has introduced a playful use of colour while cleverly extending and reconfiguring the internal spaces to create a vibrant home utterly suited for contemporary living, including ample storage. Full-height glazed doors slide open within the rear extension to reveal an immaculate west-facing garden surrounded by mature trees. The house is excellently located, only a short walk from the independent cafés and restaurants on the popular Francis Road.
