Manston Court, Walthamstow, E17

Naturally bright and smartly appointed, this two bedroom balcony apartment is part of a modest contemporary development, sat among communal grounds on a peaceful turning just a short stroll from Lloyd Park.

Both your bedrooms are bright, substantial doubles, no boxrooms here. Your open plan kitchen/reception is sleek and substantial, while your boutique bathroom’s smartly tiled from top to bottom. Plus there’s a reassuring 116 year lease.

As well as the open green spaces and landscaped gardens of Lloyd Park less than half a mile away on foot, you have all the day to day amenities of Billet Road on your doorstep, and the breweries and taprooms of Blackhorse Lane less than twenty minutes’ walk away.

Step inside and your hallway’s wide and welcoming, with plenty of incidental space for bags and coats, plus a handy fitted cupboard. Always a welcome bonus in London apartment living.

Your open plan kitchen and reception is on the left, around 350 square feet of sleekly appointed space. Engineered hardwood runs underfoot, with complementary smoky grey cabinets and chunky white worktops arrayed across one end of the lengthy space.

Move into the lounge area, past a striking blackboard feature wall, and a patio door leads out to your balcony. Step out here for timber decking, glass balustrades and pleasant views over your communal grounds, a mix of lawns, pathways and patios.

Back inside, both bedrooms are smart, well designed doubles of 130 square feet apiece. Pristine white walls make the most of the natural light and soft, hardwearing carpet runs underfoot.

Finally your bathroom features large format, letterbox tiling from tub to ceiling and floor to hip, in smoky sandstone. An oversized vanity mirror and designer suite complete the space in style.

YOUR NEW NEIGHBOURHOOD

The Manston Court development is sat just off the main thoroughfare of Billet Road, the perfect mix of peace and quiet and easy access to essential amenities.

Wander a little further afield for Lloyd Park, the much loved leafy green heart of E17. Here you’ll find cafes, tennis courts, water features and the William Morris Gallery. There’s also a regular Saturday farmers’ market.

The beloved Blackhorse Beer Mile is less than twenty minutes’ walk away, for East London’s finest choice of independent craft breweries, taprooms and beer gardens, all clustered together on the border of Walthamstow Wetlands – London’s largest nature reserve at 500 acres.

Your new local’s even closer. The Dog & Duck, a family friendly gastropub with a beer garden full of beach huts, is just half a mile on foot.

Need to get around? Jump on the 158 bus just a few steps from your new gates, and you can be whisked to Blackhorse Road station in about twelve minutes.

From here the Victoria line will get you straight to King’s Cross in fourteen minutes, or Oxford Circus in eighteen, putting everything from St Pancras to the West End around a half hour from your new front door.
