A FLAT ideal for footy fans has appeared on the market for a cool £350,000 – based inside an actual football stadium.
The two-bedroom property is located on Oliver Road in Leyton, East London and boasts an open-plan kitchen and reception room, and two bathrooms.
However, the property’s most distinguishable feature is its balcony that directly overlooks the pitch in Leyton Orient FC’s 9,000-capacity stadium, Brisbane Road.
The second-floor property is situated adjacent to the Tommy Johnston South Stand – named after the club’s record goalscorer who netted a remarkable 70 goals in 87 matches.
Added to property website Rightmove by estate agents One Click Homes only yesterday, the flat itself offers a spacious living room with wooden flooring and multiple windows to allow for sunlight.
Much floor space is occupied by a decent-sized open-plan kitchen and living/dining room which leads out to the balcony overlooking the EFL League Two side’s pitch.
The master bedroom is bright and airy and hosts a brightly-lit ensuite which contains a modern shower, sink and toilet.
The second bedroom hosts just as enviable a view though, looking right onto the balcony outside – which offers a large private space with glass panels in place to fully maximise a matchday experience.
The floor of the balcony is covered with artificial grass and is lined with small colourful plants seemingly put in place by the current owner.
Images of the property were shared by One Click Homes on Instagram last Thursday with the description: “Ever wanted a free season ticket with your property purchase?
“Well calling all Leyton Orient fans, here’s the perfect flat with an uninterrupted view of the pitch from your living room and balcony.
“This one is the dream flat for the avid O’s fans out there, but also serves well as a spacious flat in a superb location off High Rd Leyton.
“This property is up for sale exclusively with OC Homes in an ideal location close to the high road and Leyton Tube.
“This spacious two bedroom two bathroom apartment is on the second floor of this modern development on Oliver Road and is sure to attract a lot of interest. Get in touch with our sales team now for viewings.”
Speaking today a spokesperson for One Click Homes said: “The flat offers direct views of the pitch from the living room and balcony so pretty much a season ticket for whoever lives there.
“The new owners will get a full-on match day experience from their balcony as it feels like you’re in the stand.”
Purchasing this flat would save the owner £378 a year on season ticket prices, whilst properties in the Leyton area had an overall average price of £564,893 over the last year, according to Rightmove.
Founded in 1881, Leyton Orient have played at Brisbane Road since 1937 – having previously turned out at Millfields Road and Lea Bridge Road.
The O’s currently sit top of League Two with a six-point lead over second-placed Stevenage, meaning now could be a good time for fans to move in as they eye promotion to League One in May.
