IF YOU LIVED HERE…

How fantastic to live somewhere with such rich history. These timeless properties were the brainchild of Walthamstow’s first mayor, and they’re incredibly well designed, too.

Set on the first floor, your reception room is bright and airy, with two sash windows ushering in plenty of natural light and framing leafy views. The fireplace makes a natural focal point, while the timber floorboards, soft palette and bespoke carpentry add warmth and character. Both bedrooms are doubles, with pristine decor and soft carpeting. In the kitchen, you’ll find smart units, high-spec appliances, and sleek worktops. Meanwhile, the bathroom is sleek and modern, complete with an over-bath shower.

Outside, you have a spacious shared west-facing garden. For even more fresh air, you’re just metres from Lloyd Park, where you’ll find a skate park, playground, tennis courts, bowls club, dog park, cafes and the William Morris Gallery, housed in the former home of the founder of the Arts and Crafts Movement.

Beyond, the Hoe Street area continues to thrive with a creative energy that draws visitors from across London. Fancy a bite to eat? Take your pick from Time Out favourites Sodo and YardSale Pizza, alongside Shri Lakshmi and plenty more. If exercise is on the agenda, there are excellent facilities nearby, including yoga studio East of Eden and the modern Feel Good Centre leisure complex.

When it comes to entertainment, the 950-seat Soho Theatre Walthamstow has a fantastically varied programme of comedy and live performance. Meanwhile, the wonderfully eclectic Trades Hall remains a favourite spot for renowned comedians to try out new material in warm-up sets.
