WORD FROM THE OWNER...

We have loved living in this flat for the past six years and are only moving as we need to upsize. This has been a perfect first time property for us, particularly with its period features which we have taken a lot of pleasure from. The flat stretches back far and always feels light and airy with high ceilings and generous room size. We have transformed the garden and laid a new patio at the back to maximise the space; the garden is spacious and allows for lovely days spent with friends and family, especially as it gets a lot of sun throughout the day.

The location has been ideal for us - Walthamstow Village and Francis Road are a short walk away in either direction. There’s a great Italian coffee shop at the end of the road and we’ve really enjoyed the local pubs (William the Fourth and The European), as well as the Tilbury Arches (Gravity Well, Chop Shop, Leyton Calling, Burnt) just round the corner. It is also close to a park and the green space of Hollow Ponds.

The bus stop is a two minute walk away and takes us straight to either Walthamstow Central or Leyton Station, both of which are extremely convenient for getting into central London and with versatility in transport options, while being a stone’s throw from Leyton Midland Overground also making it quick to get to Leytonstone High Road, Blackhorse Road and beyond (Crouch Hill, Gospel Oak etc).
