Homes in Leytonstone
Leytonstone has Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many converted into flats, with larger houses in Bushwood near Wanstead Flats. Post-war council estates and some new flats add variety.
The construction of the A12 Green Man link road in the 1990s cut through the area. London Clay soils and mature street trees are common, as are loft and rear extensions. Prices are lower than Wanstead, attracting first-time buyers and families. Leytonstone has strong transport links, with the Central line and Overground. Harrow Green and Cann Hall have more modest Victorian terraces, many with original features. Extended houses are the norm, which makes completion certificates for past works an important part of the legal pack.
