Higham Hill Road, Walthamstow

Perfectly nestled between Lloyd Park and Blackhorse Road, this architecturally stunning two-bedroom mid-terrace home effortlessly balances classic charm with modern convenience. As well as the flawless decor, highlights include the spacious kitchen-diner, beautiful first floor bathroom and south-west facing garden.

It’s just 12 minutes on foot to Blackhorse Road station, where the Victoria line nips directly to Kings Cross in the same time. But of course, you don’t need to leave E17 to have a fantastic time - this particular area attracts visitors from all over the capital…

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. Beyond the charming frontage, your reception is spotless, with exposed brickwork, original floors, a charming fireplace surround, column radiator and generous sash windows decked in bespoke shutters.

Prepare to be further wowed as you head to your striking kitchen/diner, a light filled space with more gloriously traditional features (you’ll love the double oven in the chimney alcove) that sit alongside considered updates, such as the ply units and terrazzo worktops/splashbacks.

On the first floor, you’ll find two spotless bedrooms, including one with beautiful bespoke storage, plus a family-sized bathroom, which has glossy metro brick tiling, vintage-style fittings and a striking claw-foot tub with shower overhead.

You’ll really appreciate the south-west facing rear garden, which has beds made from railway sleepers and a low maintenance lawn. Aside from your own plot of nature, you’ll find that there’s an abundance of green space in the area; the fantastic Walthamstow Wetland is only a short stroll away, while Lloyd Park - home to the William Morris Gallery - is even closer in the other direction.

Head towards the Bell junction and Hoe St beyond, and you’ll come across some of the excellent independent ventures, including vegetarian-focused cafe Buhler, award-winning pizza restaurant Yard Sale, and the much-loved Ye Olde Rose & Crown pub.

Head ten mins north and you’ll find Tavern on the Hill, a grand old pub with a rotating food menu that attracts visitors from across the capital. A similar distance away, you’ve got SlowBurn, which was named one of the Guardian’s essential restaurants to ‘try right now’, while the UK’s first dedicated brandy house, Burnt Faith, is even closer. Then there’s the Blackhorse Road Beer Mile beyond that. Basically put, when you’re not relaxing at home, you’re going to be busy.

Want to escape further afield? As well as giving you access to the Victoria line, Blackhorse Road station offers the convenience of using the Suffragette line Overground, which zips between Gospel Oak and Barking (great for day trips to Hampstead Heath or the Essex seaside). Buses are plentiful too.

WHAT ELSE?

- By May 2025 you’ll also be able to enjoy the benefit of being just one mile from the much anticipated Soho Theatre Walthamstow, which has been given a £30m investment as part of the council’s’ London Borough of Culture 2019 commitment to place culture at the heart of its communities’ (one of the reason’s we love Walthamstow so much).
- If you want a change of scene from the park, head to Fellowship Square for the fantastic fountains, a delight for people of all ages, and cultural events organised by the local authority.
- Just eight mins away you’ll find the Independent wine shop and bar Forest Wines, which specialises in organic, biodynamic, natural wines and also has a great selection of craft beers. You can also order a changing selection of small sharing plates and wine by the glass at the bar. Five minutes beyond that, you’ve even got an original Banksy, preserved within the Bonners fish and chip shop signage.

A WORD FROM THE OWNER....

"We have loved making this house our home, and hope you like it too. The location has been fantastic, offering access to numerous amenities, including excellent schools, public transport, the Wetlands & Lloyd Park.

We shall particularly miss having Blackhorse Workshop, East of Eden studio and Sodo Pizza being on our doorstep."
