Flat to rent York Place, Greater London

Description

A genuinely spacious two double bedroom, two bathroom apartment on the eighth floor of Valentines House, offering 985 sq ft (91.5 sq m) of accommodation, a private wrap-around balcony and open views over Redbridge. The apartment is built around a bright dual-aspect reception room stretching over 22 feet, with full-height glazing on two elevations flooding the space with natural light throughout the day. The kitchen is fitted along one wall in a modern handleless style with stone worktops, an integrated oven, ceramic hob, extractor, integrated fridge/freezer and an undermount sink with mixer tap. Doors from the lounge open onto a private balcony that wraps around the corner of the building, with composite decking and generous depth — usable for outdoor dining and seating rather than just standing room. The principal bedroom measures 20'0" x 11'9" — an unusually large double with two windows, ample space for a super king bed and freestanding furniture, and its own en-suite bathroom. The second bedroom measures 12'9" x 10'0", a comfortable true double that also works well as a guest room or dedicated home office. Two bathrooms serve the apartment: an en-suite to the principal bedroom, and a separate family bathroom fitted with a panelled bath and shower over, glass screen, wash basin, WC, heated towel rail and fitted mirrored storage cabinet.

Transport. Ilford station (Elizabeth line, Zone 4) is a short walk away, with direct trains to Stratford in around 9 minutes, London Liverpool Street in around 17 minutes and Bond Street in around 25 minutes, with no changes. Onward direct services run to Farringdon, Tottenham Court Road, Paddington and Heathrow. Whitechapel offers a one-stop change for Canary Wharf. For drivers, the A406 North Circular is immediately adjacent and the A12 is a short drive, giving quick access to the M11 and M25.

Shopping and everyday needs. A large Sainsbury's is roughly two minutes' walk on Roden Street, with Lidl, Ilford Retail Park and the Exchange Ilford shopping centre — home to the main high-street retailers, banks and cafés — all within a few minutes on foot. Ilford High Road and Cranbrook Road offer an exceptional range of restaurants, takeaways and independent shops.

Health, leisure and green space. GP surgeries and pharmacies are close by in the town centre, with King George Hospital and Queen's Hospital, Romford serving the wider area. The Gym Group at Pioneer Point is around two minutes' walk, with PureGym on the High Road. Uphall Recreation Ground is a few minutes away, Ilford Golf Club is directly to the west, and the 130-acre Valentines Park — with its lake, formal gardens, sports facilities and Grade II* listed mansion — is a pleasant walk or short bus ride north.

Schools. A wide choice of well-regarded primary and secondary schools serves the immediate area, including Cleveland Road, Christchurch and Winston Way primaries. Prospective tenants should confirm current catchment and admissions criteria directly with the London Borough of Redbridge.
