Howard Road, Walthamstow

Just a short stroll from the characterful streets of Walthamstow Village and the vibrant mix of cafés, independent shops and standout pubs along Orford Road, this beautifully maintained three-bedroom home offers a great balance of comfort and location. Occupying the first floor of a smart Victorian building, it has a generous 817sq ft of living space, and a section of peaceful rear garden. Both Walthamstow Central and Walthamstow Queens Road stations are within easy reach, giving you quick access to the Victoria Line and Overground trains into Liverpool Street.

IF YOU LIVED HERE...

The reception room makes a strong first impression, its wide bay window filling the space with light. Built-in shelving brings warmth and character to the alcoves, while a cast-iron fireplace anchors the room with a bold focal point. It’s the kind of space that invites you to settle in and enjoy the atmosphere, especially once the evenings draw close.

Beside it, the first bedroom is currently set up as a study but could just as easily work as a nursery or guest room—an adaptable little pocket of the home. The main bedroom is a generous double overlooking the garden; pale walls and painted floorboards give it a calm, pared-back feel that makes winding down easy. A third double bedroom, finished in soft blue with the same pale boards, continues that sense of quiet simplicity.

The bathroom mixes white tiling with baby-blue accents for a crisp, refreshing contrast.

At the heart of the home, the kitchen/diner runs in an L-shape with cream cabinetry, thick wooden worktops, and neatly integrated appliances. There’s plenty of room for cooking and eating together, and even a built-in wine rack—handy when friends drop by for supper.

From here, a wrought-iron staircase leads to your own section of garden. Low-maintenance but full of charm, it combines gravel, planted beds, a patio, and a rear decked area—tucked away, private, and ready for anything from a slow morning coffee to a summer dinner outdoors.

With its mix of period detail, thoughtful updates, and an easy-flowing layout, this home feels both characterful and comfortable—well cared for, full of potential, and ready to enjoy from the moment you step inside.

A WORD FROM THE OWNER...

"This flat has been our home for close to ten years and we have loved living here. One of the nicest things about it is how light it is, especially being a first-floor hilltop flat. The living room gets the morning sun, and in autumn the leaves on the maple tree right outside turn bright red so the room has an amazing view. In the afternoons and evenings the kitchen is full of sunlight, and in the summer the smell of the jasmine and honeysuckle that climb up the cast-iron staircase comes in through the window. The south-west facing garden is a sun-trap where you can grow absolutely anything — we've had great results with tomatoes, chillies, courgettes, cucumbers and runner beans, as well as different herbs, flowers and climbers.

The location of the flat is perfect — really close to the station, Walthamstow Village, Lloyd Park and Wood Street. The road is so quiet and leafy, and there are great pubs and restaurants nearby (we recommend The Castle in the Village, and Mini Hiba on Wood Street). We know this will make a wonderful home for you and a great place to make new memories."
