Markhouse Avenue, Walthamstow

IF YOU LIVED HERE…

Beyond that timeless brickwork, you’ll find an impressive home with a careful balance of traditional features and contemporary updates packed into its 1182 square feet.

A WORD FROM THE OWNER....

"We have so many great memories in this house and living in the St James community. The house has a large south facing garden backing onto allotments, therefore being one of the few overlooked gardens in the area. It has been a brilliant BBQing spot for many of our friends and family. Having St James Park at the end of the road has been perfect with having young children, with great local coffee and brunch spots nearby including Weirdough, Beaten by a whisker and The curious goat. There is also a local night scene with the Olfa club, 56, Crate and the Blackhorse breweries not far away. Being City workers, the options of commuting are fantastic - St James Street station and the Victoria line are both within walking distance. Markhouse Avenue has been a great place to live with a lovely community and neighbours always being willing to help in any way."
