Barclay Road Walthamstow , E17 9JJ

IF YOU LIVED HERE…

With over 1000 square feet of smartly decorated internal space - and plenty of storage, this is a home you can effortlessly settle into. Due to its neutral walls, generous proportions and window at the front and back, the reception room has a bright and brilliant feel. The custom carpentry not only looks great but will be ultra convenient too.

The kitchen is handily located just across the hall, complete with sleek units, high quality appliances and stylish geometric tiling. There’s a smart family-bathroom on this floor, as well as a bedroom, which could also be used as an office or studio if preferred.

Up in the converted loft, you’ll find two bedrooms, including a master with a contemporary ensuite - a real luxury if you’ve not had one before. There’s also plenty of eaves storage to keep clutter at bay.

At the rear you have a 35 foot garden, with a lawn and plenty of leafy foliage to bring a lovely air of seclusion. There’s a shed at the end for yet more storage.

Beyond your handsome frontage, you’ll discover that you’ve joined a brilliant community, with plenty of local activities to enjoy on your doorstep, from the E17 Art Trail to the Village Jumble Trail. Walthamstow Village is packed with ancient history (which is how it gets its official ‘village’ status - it’s not just a quaint, self-appointed title), as well as an eclectic mix of independent shops, cafes, restaurants, pubs and stores - you won’t be able to keep away from Eat 17 (dubbed ‘London’s poshest Spar’ by the press)

While Orford Road is the main hub, you’ll find the wider area potted with brilliant amenities, such as authentic sushi takeaway Ohba Leaf Kitchen, the lively and down-to-earth Made in Portugal cafe, and the ultra-friendly Castle gastro-pub. At the Ravenswood Industrial Estate you’ve got more quirky but creative gems, such as the ever-popular God’s Own Junkyard, as well as breweries Wild Card Brewery, Pillars Brewery, Trap, plus gin palace Mother’s Ruin.

If you need to escape further afield, you’ll be pleased to know that you’re only 13 minutes on foot from Wood Street station, where you can nip to Liverpool Street in 20 minutes on the Overground, or walk a bit further to Walthamstow Central for access to the speedy Victoria line.

WHAT ELSE?

- Despite being in such a cosmopolitan hub, you’re surrounded by excellent green space; Lloyd Park, which houses the William Morris Gallery, is 25 minutes north, Fellowship Square, with its impressive fountains, is in the same area, while Hollow Ponds, at the cusp of Epping Forest, is around 10 minutes south east.
- Head to Walthamstow Central for Europe’s longest market which runs along Walthamstow High Street, as well 17&Central shopping centre, which has a fantastic food court operated by CRATE, and mini golf, as well as convenient chains.
- Parents will be pleased to know you an abundance of really popular schools nearby.
