Flat inside football stadium you can buy for £350,000 with balcony that overlooks pitch

Football fans can roll out of bed and watch every match live from their balcony with this two-bed flat that has just come up for sale. Not only can you avoid the dreaded match day traffic by being right in the thick of the action, but anyone who buys this £350,000 apartment certainly won't need to buy themselves a season ticket.

The unique flat sits right in the corner of the Brisbane Road stadium in Leyton, East London and has been home to Leyton Orient FC ever since 1937. The club currently plays in League Two of the English Football League and its all-seater stadium holds an official capacity of 9,241.

Not only does the flat have a private astro turf balcony which looks directly out onto the full pitch, but if you want to stay indoors, you can also catch the game through large windows in the open plan living kitchen area as well as one of the two bedrooms.

Aside from its obvious attraction to Leyton Orient fans, the second floor flat is ideally located just a ten minute walk from Leyton underground tube station which is situated on the Central line.

Not only that but the cost of the apartment is actually much cheaper that the price of most flats in Leyton, which sold for an average of £389,721 over the last year.

The flat itself is described as 'bright and spacious' featuring a large open-plan reception room and modern kitchen. It has two double bedrooms with a shower room to the master as well as a main three-piece bathroom.

It's fair to say that if you're not a fan of football, or in particular the Leyton Orient team, then this flat might not be the one for you.

But estate agents One Click Homes say the home would be an ideal purchase for a first-time buyer and would also benefit from it being chain free.

The Zoopla listing reads: "OC Homes are delighted to offer to the sales market, this bright and spacious two bed two bath second floor apartment in a modern development by Leyton Orient Football Ground with direct views of the full pitch.
