If you scroll through the photos of this online listing of a two-bedroom flat for sale in East London, there doesn’t initially appear to be anything out of the ordinary.
There is a spacious open-plan living area that includes a kitchen with modern white cabinets, alongside a separate dining area. And there are two bedrooms, one that is a children’s room painted bright pink.
It is not until you step onto the balcony that you experience the unusual feature of this flat. And that is because it looks directly onto the pitch at Leyton Orient’s Brisbane Road football ground.
The online listing for this two-bedroom flat in East London doesn’t initially reveal any clues about its unusual feature
The flat’s private balcony boasts a view of the entire pitch at Leyton Orient football ground
At a glance, the leasehold property reveals little of its impressive balcony view from inside of the main living area on the online listing.
These is because there are net curtains hanging fully across the floor to ceiling windows.
The net curtains help disguise the view inside of the floor to those sitting in the football ground stands, just metres away.
