Dean Gardens Walthamstow , E17 3QP

IF YOU LIVE HERE…

You’ll really appreciate the love and consideration that’s gone into updating this home. From all the storage solutions to the thoughtful decor found throughout, it seems as though every inch has been considered, so you’ll be able to relax and feel at home right away.

In your reception room, enjoy the light that spills through the bay windows, showcasing the lovely timber floor. The decor here is tastefully neutral, so you can easily add your own personal touches. Following a full width rear extension, the kitchen-diner is gorgeously designed, with a breakfast bar effortlessly dividing up the space. The fittings are sleek and stylish, but still with a flair of tradition in keeping with the rest of the home. The considered sage green colour palette balances beautifully with the view of your leafy garden, which has been meticulously landscaped. As well as the large lawn, you’ve got two patios, including the decked one at the rear which has a charming pergola overhead. This is also where you’ll find your detached garage and studio, which will be wonderfully convenient however you use it, particularly since it’s connected to the mains. Conveniently, you have a shower room and utility space on the ground floor, as well as a bedroom which could also be used as a play room or office if preferred. Upstairs, you’ll find three immaculate bedrooms, and a modern family bathroom.

Outside, you have a fantastic neighbourhood to explore… Head nine minutes on foot towards St Peters-in-the-Forest to enjoy the tranquility of Epping Forest, which is dotted with clearings perfect for picnics, or head in the other direction towards Hollow Ponds for more sprawling nature and even a boating lake. Fancy more of an urban buzz? You’re in luck because the nearby Wood Street is having a real moment - and it’s right on your doorstep. Not only does it look great thanks to the good work of local mural studio Wood Street Walls, but several exciting new stores and eateries have popped up amongst the old favourites, like the brilliantly unique Wood Street Indoor Market and local institution garden centre Lancasters. Not sure where to start? Try excellent cider tap room Luke’s, rustic Balkan dining spot Lacy Nook, tasty brunch spot Dudley’s and award-win bakery Chocolatine, but there’s much more. You’re also only a 12 minute stroll to the Ravenswood Industrial Estate, which is home to the ever-popular God’s Own Junkyard, as well as Pillars, Trap, Mother’s Ruin and the new Malt Haus.

WHAT ELSE?

- Walthamstow Village is only a 15 minute stroll away, where you’ve got everything from tapas food and authentic sushi to fish and chips and gastro grub.
- Parents will be pleased to know you have plenty of great primary/secondary schools in the area.
- If you want a change of scene from the forest, head to Fellowship Square for the fantastic fountains, a delight for people of all ages, and cultural events organised by the local authority - it’s a 20 minute walk from your front door.
