Spring House, Fulbourne road, Walthamstow, E17

Sleek, bright and spacious throughout, this three bedroom apartment sits on the second floor of a modest designer development in Upper Walthamstow. The bustling new neighbourhood of Wood Street is only five minutes on foot, with Epping Forest's greenery just a little further.

You have over 1000 square feet to stretch out in here, not including both balconies, the largest of which is very substantial indeed. Honey blonde hardwood flows underfoot in your huge, open plan kitchen diner and there's a further dedicated reception for a wealth of sociable space.

Upper Walthamstow blends peaceful streets with plenty of green spaces close at hand, from Epping Forest to Lloyd Park. Wood Street is on your doorstep, bustling with independent cafes and shops, while Wood Street overground will get you straight to the City.

YOUR NEW HOME

Highlights are everywhere but let's start in your kitchen/diner, an impressive 240 square feet with lengthy banks of sleek white cabinets complementing the honey coloured hardwood floors and speckled granite style worktops. Brushed chrome fixtures and integrated appliances complete this stylish sociable spot.

Natural light floods in courtesy of your patio door set leading out to the 150 square foot roof terrace, paved, elevated and sheltered, it's the ideal al fresco extension of your dining space.

Back inside, your reception room makes for another excellent option for hosting. 200 square feet and dual aspect, with blonde hardwood underfoot and direct access to your second balcony for even more fresh air and second floor views.

Returning to your entrance hall, there's some substantial extra storage (always a handy bonus) and your family bathroom, finished in two tone sandstone tilework, oversized vanity mirror and a shower over the tub.

Elsewhere, all three bedrooms are solid doubles, softly carpeted with pristine white paint jobs and plenty of natural light. The 150 foot principal bedroom is also home to a stylish en suite shower room.

YOUR NEW NEIGHBOURHOOD

Outside and it's just five minutes on foot to the top of Wood Street, with an ever evolving range of independent cafes and shops, all your day to day amenities, a fine choice of restaurants and the much loved indoor market - great for vintage finds.

If you're looking to lose yourself in nature then the endless woodlands and open greenery of Epping Forest are just a half mile on foot. Excellent for morning runs and evening strolls alike.

Or if you prefer things more manicured, the landscaped gardens of Lloyd Park are just a fifteen minute stroll, home to cafes, tennis courts and a regular farmers market.

Wood Street overground station is a little over ten minutes' walk away, and will whisk you straight to Liverpool Street in twenty, for a quick and simple City commute. Alternatively, ride one stop to Walthamstow Central for the Victoria line.

Finally, if you're staying local, Walthamstow Village is well worth the twenty minute stroll for some of the best independent wining and dining spots for miles around. From The Nag's Head (Sunday jazz, friendly cats) to The Castle (cosy fires, great Sunday roasts) and The Queen's Arms (sumptuous decor, fine wines) you're sure to find a favourite.
