Carr Road Walthamstow , E17 5ER

IF YOU LIVED HERE...

Swot up on history and enjoy the glory of knowing that your home was the conception of Walthamstow's first mayor, Sir Thomas Courtenay Warner. There’s a reason that these properties are still so popular today, with their instantly recognisable features – and this one comes with plenty… Your front reception room has been beautifully preserved with thoughtful updates such as the column radiator and spotless decor, all bathed in light from the generously-sized windows. The spacious double bedroom has more immaculate decor and plenty of space for storage due to the chimney breast alcove snugs. The dine-in kitchen hits the sweet spot between being characterful but also modern, with its sleek worktops, integrated appliances and smart units. This theme is continued in the pristine bathroom, where you’ll love the metro brick tiles and vintage-style fittings. Outside, you’ll find your own private section of the large rear garden, which is packed with greenery. It’s a peaceful spot, but Lloyd Park is just moments away for more nature and facilities including the two cafes, William Morris Gallery, skatepark, playground, tennis courts and dog enclosure. Just beyond, Hoe Street is thriving, with the youthful energy continuously drawing exciting new businesses and putting the area on the map for day-trippers beyond the borough (we’ve lost track of the times it’s appeared as a ‘must visit’ place in the press). Fancy a bite to eat? Choose between Sodo, Yard Sale Pizza or Shri Lakshmi, as well as many more. And talking of Walthamstow being in the spotlight, just wait until later this year when the 950-seat Soho Theatre Walthamstow is set to open. Within less than a ten walk from your own home, you’ll be able to enjoy truly world class entertainment. We think it’s safe to have high expectations here.
