IF YOU LIVED HERE…

Kerbside views are impressive, with the handsome Victorian facade, pristine monochrome tiled pathway and slate patio. Your ground floor is dedicated to relaxation and entertaining, with a 430 square foot, open plan reception, featuring a bistro shuttered bay window and log burning stove. Restored, period timber floorboards give way to blonde, herringbone hardwood, as you pass through into another enormous space; your open plan kitchen, diner and lounge.

A ranked bank of skylights stretches the entire twenty foot depth of the space, sweeping over the dining area and bathing the kitchen in natural light. A tremendous chef's island and breakfast bar, topped with marbled work surfaces and home to a Dublin sink, takes centre stage below pendulum lighting. From your snug lounging corner, you'll overlook the peaceful, 800 square foot, patio and garden, complete with bespoke timber garden seating, pergola and planters.

On the first floor, you'll find two double sleepers, both with blonde, herringbone flooring with the principal bedroom including another bright, bistro shuttered bay window, plus period ceiling rose and cornicing. There's also a dedicated study. The classic, luxury family bathroom completes the story, an opulent space with freestanding, clawfoot tub, a double vessel vanity unit and sizeable, stroll-in rainfall shower. Sleeping and bathing arrangements continue upstairs in your modern loft conversion, home to a skylight double sleeper, ensuite shower room and final bedroom.

Outside and our enviable enclave of Walthamstow Village is just a 10 minute walk on foot, for a splendid, diverse range of wining and dining spots, justly renowned for miles around. From the classic gastropub atmosphere of The Queen's Arms to the delicious small plates at Orford tapas, to the bistro chic of Eat17 and the artisanal hedonism of Mother's Ruin, you're bound to find a new favourite, no matter your tastes, mood or occasion.

A WORD FROM THE OWNER...

"We have lived on Somerset Road for almost ten years and it has been an absolute joy to be part of this welcoming and supportive community. Thomas Gamuel Park is just a few minutes’ walk away and is a lovely green space that has had benefited from lots of care and hard work from the Queens Boundary Community ("QBC") Gardeners. There are QBC events throughout the year which make for a vibrant neighbourhood. We love the proximity to parks, cafes, pubs, restaurants and many family-friendly spaces and events across the Borough. The ability to reach Oxford Circus or Epping Forest in ~30 minutes by public transport is dreamy!"
