IF YOU LIVED HERE…

Filled with natural light, this home unfolds gracefully across two levels, combining warmth, charm and a sense of calm throughout. The hallway sets the tone, with gentle tones and a beautifully crafted wooden staircase drawing the eye upward to the loft. Light filters through the stairwell window, giving this connecting space a bright, uplifting quality.

Leading on from here, the reception room is beautifully composed, where deep tones contrast with the brightness from the bay window. Timber flooring adds warmth and texture, and the generous layout makes the space perfect for relaxing or entertaining. Moving through the home, the kitchen continues the welcoming feel, thoughtfully designed to balance practicality with a relaxed, homely atmosphere. Daylight pours in through the window, illuminating the soft palette and wooden accents.

Both bedrooms offer an easy sense of comfort and calm. The main bedroom is brightened by natural light and feels effortlessly tranquil, while the second bedroom is equally bright and adaptable, ideal for use as a guest room, home office or creative retreat. The bathroom continues the home’s harmonious style, where white tiling and wood tones combine for a refined finish. The bath with overhead shower provides a peaceful place to unwind.

Upstairs, the loft room offers additional living space, with two skylights flooding it with natural light. Pale walls and wooden flooring lend a restful quality, creating a cosy, uplifting retreat that completes this thoughtfully arranged home.

A WORD FROM THE OWNER...

"We’ve absolutely loved living in our first flat here in the lovely St James pocket of Walthamstow. It’s a friendly, close-knit community with amazing wine bars, breweries and (in our opinion!) some of the best bakeries in London just around the corner. From the bay window we have the perfect view of a beautiful cherry blossom tree that bursts into colour each spring — a real highlight of the year. With St James Park just moments away and excellent local amenities all within walking distance, this flat has been the perfect first home for us and we hope it will be for someone else too!"
