A WORD FROM THE OWNER...

"I have called this flat my home for many years. I have followed the play of light as the sun comes up in the bedroom, travels to the living room in late morning and settles into a rich glow in the kitchen in the evening. It has windows out towards Walthamstow Marshes and the trains and weather fronts can be followed from a birds eye view. Yet the street life flows out past the front of the house. It is maybe now a special street where children can still safely play. People look out for each other. There are the sounds of birds out the window, the voices of children on their way to school and of course the odd passing beat box. Springfield Park is a beautiful shared garden with so many people from so many corners of the world. There are the characters, the dog-walkers, the early morning quiet and the summer picnics. Then there is the view, stretching for miles and miles- a sense of freedom through and beyond this one bedroom flat that seems to expand outwards without limit. I have wanted to stay here year after year. Now is my time to move and for another owner to enjoy this space."
