Hawarden Road, Walthamstow

A spacious one bedroom first-floor ex-Warner flat on a quiet residential street close to Blackhorse Road, combining characterful interiors with a kitchen/diner, separate utility room and shared garden. Walthamstow Wetlands is within walking distance, while Blackhorse Road station and the neighbourhood’s growing collection of independent places to eat and drink are close at hand.

IF YOU LIVED HERE…

Your own street-level entrance opens to a hall and staircase leading up to the first floor, where the accommodation unfolds from the landing. At the front, the reception is a particularly inviting room, with three windows drawing in plenty of natural light. Herringbone parquet flooring brings warmth underfoot, complemented by plantation shutters, cornicing and a period fireplace. There is plenty of room here for comfortable seating as well as a desk or reading corner.

The double bedroom sits immediately behind the reception, followed by the bathroom, which is finished with patterned flooring and tiled walls, plus a bath with shower above. Beyond this, the separate utility room provides useful additional space and access out to the shared garden. A storage cupboard is positioned off the landing close to the stairs, keeping everyday belongings neatly tucked away.

At the rear, the kitchen/diner makes a lovely final room. Two-tone cabinetry runs around the kitchen, paired with pale worktops, metro-style tiling and patterned flooring, while the broad bay creates a naturally defined spot for a dining table. The result is a well-presented Warner home with a pleasing sense of space and plenty of the period character these much-loved Walthamstow flats are known for.

A WORD FROM THE OWNER...

"I loved living in this pretty flat. Having my own front door was one of those little luxuries you don’t expect with a flat and the space works so well and has such a nice feel to it. There’s plenty of extra storage in the utility room which was an unexpected bonus for a 1 bed flat, the garden is also a great size and real sun trap. As a keen runner, I spent many mornings making the most of the marshes, canals and wetlands which are all so easily accessible from the flat. The road itself is really quiet with a great community but only 5 minutes to the tube and 10 minutes to St James St so you really feel like everywhere is on your doorstep. The local area has loads going on - obviously the beer mile is brilliant day or night but I also loved Burnt Faith - the brandy distillery/cocktail bar, Slow Burn or Don Francisco for amazing meals and Weirdough or Beaten by a Whisker for post run pastries. The great thing about Walthamstow is that there’s so much to do and so many great places to discover."
