Farnborough Avenue, Walthamstow, London, E17

Period charm, thoughtfully styled interiors and a landscaped garden make this three-bedroom house a welcoming place to call home. Offering approximately 868 sq. ft. in an excellent Blackhorse location, it brings together timeless features and modern comfort, with stripped wood flooring through much of the house and double-glazed sash windows. Behind the attractive brick frontage, the hallway leads into a bright bay-fronted reception room. Ornate cornicing, a ceiling rose and a cast-iron fireplace create a lovely sense of warmth, while plantation shutters frame the bay window. It’s an inviting setting for cosy evenings and relaxed weekends. The separate dining room provides a sociable space for family meals and entertaining. There’s useful storage beneath the stairs, while a glazed door opens onto the garden, making it easy to take gatherings outdoors. To the rear, the modern fitted kitchen pairs classic cabinetry with marble-effect worktops and splashbacks, complemented by herringbone flooring. Generous cupboard and preparation space keeps everything practical, while a full height window overlooking the garden brings in natural light. Upstairs, the principal bedroom stretches across the front of the house, with a bay window and an additional window bringing in plenty of light. Fitted wardrobes provide excellent storage, while the second bedroom is another comfortable double, complete with a period fireplace and garden outlook. The third makes an ideal child’s bedroom or home office. The stylish first-floor bathroom features attractive tiling, brass-toned fittings and a bath with an overhead shower, alongside a contemporary basin with vanity storage. Outside, the landscaped rear garden extends to approximately 44ft. A paved seating area provides space for outdoor dining, leading onto a lawn edged with planted borders. It’s a lovely extension of the living space, offering room to relax, entertain and enjoy the warmer months. There is also exciting potential to extend into the loft with a double dormer, creating further two bedrooms one with an en-suite (STPP). This offers the opportunity to grow the home alongside your needs, adding to its long-term appeal.
