Livingstone Road, London E17

“The original Victorian footprint has been elevated to maximise day-long natural light”

This elegant three-bedroom home sits on a handsome Victorian terrace on the edge of the coveted Walthamstow Village. The setting shapes a unique opportunity for nature lovers who desire to be close to the city, with acres of rewilded grass and parkland within easy reach, including the mesmerising 36 hectares of Walthamstow Marshes. Inside, a high-specification design champions modern living while honouring the home’s original fabric.

The Tour

Livingstone Road is a quiet residential street, within walking distance of the village’s eateries, green spaces, and central station. The house has been well maintained under current ownership, as evidenced by its refurbished brick-and-stucco front.

The door opens onto the entrance hall, lit by a rectangular fanlight. The original floorboards are restored underfoot, and the room’s high ceiling emulates the sense of scale seen throughout.

A two-part reception room opens to the left; an ornate cast-iron fireplace grounds the first half, particularly bright thanks to a large bay window, while the second half forms an intimate snug as daylight begins to fade.

Beyond is a fantastic new extension that connects to the garden and houses the kitchen, with its own built-in sound system. To match the home’s original proportions, a sequence of staggered heights and glazing lends the room an incredible sense of volume; meanwhile, the curated material finish is decidedly contemporary. Natural oak and sage-green-painted cabinets pair with marble countertops, and a spacious central island features a Quooker tap. Oak herringbone flooring is book-matched to the cabinetry and runs underfoot.

A dark-painted staircase rises to the bedrooms. The main bedroom sits at the front of the house, flooded with light from a large bay window and fitted with bespoke joinery. Dark-stained floorboards run throughout this floor, softened by a neutral colour scheme.

The bedrooms share a bathroom, appointed with a shower over the bath, emerald-green Kit Kat tiles, and mirrored cabinets that reflect light from the frosted-glass window. Underfloor heating has been installed. Above, the loft provides additional storage or the possibility to extend the living space.

Outdoor Space

A patio garden extends at the rear of the house, lending the living space a sense of continuity. Distinct zones for cooking and dining have been arranged between verdant borders of bamboo and seasonal planting, creating a wonderful space to entertain in warmer months.

The Area

Livingstone Road is well placed for access to Walthamstow Village to the east and the lively commercial stretch of Hoe Street to the west.
