IF YOU LIVED HERE…

You’ll love the way that the period features and contemporary touches blend together to create a bright and beautiful living space. From the custom shutters, vintage-style radiators and patio doors to the restored flooring, seagrass stair runners and bespoke carpentry, every inch has been considered.

The front reception is spotless, with the neutral decor contrasting with the striking fireplace surround/hearth. At the rear, the space has been smartly designed, with the second reception and adjacent kitchen combing together to create a large open plan living area, bursting with light and kitted out with smart fittings.

On the first floor, you’ve got three immaculately decorated bedrooms, as well as an impressive bathroom, which is packed with period charm despite its polished, slick finish.

You’ll really appreciate the beautiful rear garden, which has enough mature foliage to create a feeling of seclusion, as well as a shed for storage - a real luxury for such a central location.

As for the location, you’re perfectly placed for all that E17 has to offer… Lloyd Park, Walthamstow Wetlands and Walthamstow Village are less than a mile away, while even closer to home, you’ll find the burgeoning St James Street area. Here you’ll find the dynamic creative hub CRATE, a great spot for socialising and co-working. Just slightly further there’s also True Craft, a fantastic new bar and pizzeria.

Walthamstow Queen’s Road station is even nearer, with trains running between Barking and Gospel Oak, perfect if you want to nip to the Essex seaside or open space of Hampstead Heath.

A WORD FROM THE OWNERS...

"Our house has been a labour of love from the day we moved in. As architects, we fell in love with the potential to make this house truly our own. Only one family has lived in the property before us, which they bought when it was built in the 1940s. It was a real doer upper, and we've renovated the interiors by restoring the original floorboards, installed Celotex underfloor insulation, built a new zellige fireplace, fitted double glazed windows, shutters, and redesigned the bathroom—our favourite room in the house! It's super convenient living a short walk to three well-connected stations. A residential cut-through takes you to Walthamstow Central via Queen’s Road station in less than 15 minutes. The nearby Thomas Gamuel Park, St James Park and Jubilee Park are also great for our toddler to run ragged in! For families, St Saviour’s Nursery and Primary School is a 5-minute walk away, as are other outstanding schools; South Grove; Sybourne; Willow Brook; Barclay. The neighbourhood has a real community feel, and we often visit the popular Crate, True Craft and Bar56 in the St James area; Blondies Brewery; and Walthamstow Village, which is a short walk away.. Living next to an allotment also provides a lot of tranquility and greenery, with trees visible from every window of the house. We've achieved full planning permission with building control and engineering calculations to knock down the storage space/garage and rear porch to extend the existing kitchen, which is the only part of the house we didn't get round to renovating. The new layout has been architect-designed, and drawings will be made available at viewings."
