Byron Road Walthamstow , E17 4SN

IF YOU LIVED HERE…

You’ll love the sense of space that this two-storey home provides. You’re set up well with open plan kitchen/reception - great for spreading out in, and the breakfast bar creates the perfect visual divide between the spaces. The decor is pristine throughout, and you’ll appreciate the sweeping flooring, which adds to the sense of space. In the kitchen area, the shake-style units are smart yet traditional with vintage style fittings, while the charming butler basin and timber worktops contrast beautifully.

On the first floor, the bedroom is just as smartly finished, with custom storage and lovely features such as the column radiator. The modern bathroom shares the same traditional charm, and at the rear in the south-facing garden you’ll find a convenient outbuilding, which has been brilliantly designed, with beautiful wallpaper inside - the perfect retreat. The garden itself is south-facing, housing some gorgeous planters and seating areas.

As for beyond, we think you’ll agree that ‘Poets Corner’ is one of loveliest sounding neighbourhoods in London. Part of a small group of neighbouring streets in Walthamstow named after poets, such as John Aubrey and John Milton, Byron Road is just as tranquil as you’d imagine. However, despite being on a peaceful, tree-lined street, you only have to walk a few minutes down your road to enjoy Hoe Street’s thriving food and drink scene. Choose between the award-winning Yard Sale Pizza, Sodo and Shri Lakshmi if you fancy dining out or ordering takeaway to have in your fantastic home.

If exercise is on the agenda as well as food, you’ll be pleased to hear that there are some excellent facilities, including yoga studio East of Eden and modern leisure centre the Feel Good Centre. Don’t forget that you’re just a short hop and a skip from Lloyd Park, where you’ll find a skate park, playground, tennis courts, bowls club, dog park, cafes and the William Morris Gallery (which is, of course, the former home of the founder the Arts and Crafts Movement).

WHAT ELSE?

- 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.
- There’s a buzz in the air about Soho Theatre Walthamstow, a 1000 seat performance space that will be home to world-class entertainment when it opens in 2023 - and it’ll be around a quarter of a mile from your front door.
- While you wait for the Soho Theatre Walthamstow to open, you can still enjoy some excellent entertainment at the wonderfully eclectic Trades Hall, a favoured spot for renowned comedians to perform warm-up sets. Ye Olde Rose & Crown also puts on some excellent shows, including annual pantos. Both venues are a few mins on foot.
