Carisbrooke Road, Walthamstow

A four-bedroom Victorian end-of-terraced house near the sought-after St James area of Walthamstow offers smart and versatile living and makes the most of its 1712 sq ft, creating a flexible and attractive living space, packed with original features and loads of storage space. Benefits include two reception rooms, 2 bathrooms, as well as a sizeable rear garden and an adjoining garage. Ideally located just moments from St James Street Overground Station, with Blackhorse Road station (Victoria Line) also accessible. Within easy reach of the wide-open green spaces of Walthamstow Wetlands, it’s perfectly placed for those who enjoy both city convenience and access to nature.

IF YOU LIVED HERE....
From the front door, a generous hallway sets the scene, with direct access from the adjoining garage—ideal for stashing muddy boots, bikes, or the weekly shop before you even set foot in the main house.

The first reception room is bright and inviting, anchored by a bay window that draws the eye. Original coving and picture rails add character, while polished wooden floors carry a sense of warmth right through the ground floor.

Behind it, the second reception space stretches to an impressive sweep of nearly 28 feet. A marble-surround fireplace with a carved wooden mantel sits at one end, connected to a gas fire for cosy evenings. Two built-in cupboards discreetly hide away the everyday clutter and essentials. At the garden side, glazed doors fold back completely, creating an easy open flow between indoors and out.

The southwest-facing garden soaks up sunshine all day long. Mostly paved for low maintenance, with a slate-chipped corner by the shed, it’s framed by mature trees that provide both shade and privacy. It’s the kind of space where you can linger with a coffee or gather friends for summer evenings.

Back inside, the galley kitchen balances function and charm, with wooden-fronted cabinets, a gas hob, and a door straight to the garden—perfect when dinner moves outdoors. A separate utility area keeps the laundry and messier tasks neatly tucked away, while a downstairs WC adds convenience.

Upstairs, four generous double bedrooms await. The main bedroom overlooks the garden and comes with its own ensuite—complete with clever built-in storage and a bath-shower combination. A further bedroom benefits from a beautiful decorative vintage fireplace and could be reconnected to gas. A family bathroom with a walk-in shower makes busy mornings just that bit smoother.

It’s a home that balances character and practicality—where heritage details meet everyday ease, inside and out.

A WORD FROM THE OWNER...

"It's a comfortable house on a quiet street, a short walk from tube and multiple overground lines. The high street is close by for shops, cinema, restaurants and there are many parks and the wetlands nearby which are good for walks. There's a good community on the street with a street party every summer. It's been a great area to live in. A good area to live in with good transport links into central London for work and good road links out to visit family.The folks on the road are friendly and helpful, with a WhatsApp chat group. The postman knows everyone."
