Set just opposite the leafy expanse of St James Park, this one-bedroom ground floor flat is a beautifully considered space, offering effortless flow and relaxed, comfortable living. Thoughtfully designed and stylishly finished throughout, it enjoys a share of freehold and a calm, light-filled interior that feels instantly welcoming — a place where every element has been carefully chosen to create a sense of ease and harmony. With St James Street Station only moments away, the location offers the perfect balance of village-like tranquillity and excellent city connections — a peaceful retreat tucked within the energy and creativity of vibrant Walthamstow.

IF YOU LIVED HERE...

As you step inside, you're welcomed by a hallway with built-in storage — a practical and tidy introduction to the thoughtfully designed interior beyond. The hallway leads to a modern bathroom, decorated in soothing neutral tones with tasteful tiling and a sleek bath with an overhead shower — ideal for a relaxing soak or a quick refresh.
The lounge is a beautifully bright and welcoming space, with two windows dressed in white shutters that allow natural light to pour in throughout the day. Built-in storage keeps the room feeling calm and uncluttered, while engineered hardwood flooring, which extends through most of the home, adds warmth and elegance underfoot.
Flowing seamlessly from the lounge is the kitchen/diner — a fantastic area for both cooking and entertaining. It features matching wood flooring, a cheerful yellow tile splashback, white cabinetry and overhead cupboards providing ample storage with under cabinet lighting. Integrated appliances are neatly built in, and there’s space for a dining table, making this a sociable and functional heart of the home.
Tucked quietly to the rear of the property, the bedroom offers a peaceful retreat. A bay window floods the room with natural light while the shutters add privacy. Soft carpet underfoot creates a cosy atmosphere, while crisp white walls are paired with a striking leaf-patterned feature wallpaper. There's plenty of space for a double bed and additional furnishings, making it both stylish and restful.
Set just across the road from the green open spaces of St James Park, the flat enjoys a truly enviable location. Walthamstow Wetlands, a vast nature reserve perfect for weekend strolls or morning runs, is also close by. The area is well-served with a growing number of independent pubs, eateries, and cafés, adding to its vibrant, community feel. Local favourites include the Curious Goat café and Big Penny Social, a lively venue known for its food, drink, and events. Whether you're after nature, great coffee, or a relaxed night out, it's all right on your doorstep.

WHAT ELSE?
The property is ideally positioned for convenient travel across London, with several key transport links close by. St James Street Station is just a short walk away, providing quick access to Liverpool Street via the Overground. Walthamstow Central and Walthamstow Queen’s Road stations are also within easy reach, connecting you to the Victoria Line and additional Overground services. Whether you're heading into the City, across East London, or beyond, getting around couldn’t be easier.

a word from the owner...

"We've absolutely loved living on Essex Road for the last 2 years, and we're SO sorry to be leaving. This little pocket of Walthamstow has such a welcoming community feel and awesome local amenities. Weirdough is just round the corner serving amazing pastries and sourdough (Big shout out to them for their proper Italian coffee!) and The Coppermill is a proper locals pub. You'll only be a stones throw from the Wetlands and you'll have fast links to the city on both the Victoria Line and the Overground. The best part about our little patch of peace is it's proximity to the park (Pip the dog definitely thinks so!). It's so great having this huge open space right on your door step, and the vibe in the summer is really chilled. We hope who ever takes on Essex Road has as much fun in it as we did!"

Our Local Guide:
Walthamstow

Essex Road, Walthamstow — Stow Brothers

Situated on the edge of spacious Epping Forest, but every inch urban London, Walthamstow is one of those rare locations where you can have your (artisan) cake and eat it too. 

Built from proper East End roots, the rapidly expanding community has transformed the area into a buzzy, creative hub and destination in its own right, making Walthamstow’s close proximity to central London less relevant than it perhaps once was (although if you must leave, it’s only a short hop on the Victoria line or London Overground). In fact, these days you’re more likely to see daytrippers coming into the area, keen to sample its varied offerings of food, drink, culture and green space. However, lucky locals get the added benefit of being part of a genuinely cheery community – and amongst the first to know about that latest hot new opening.

Features + Perks

Transport links

With Victoria line trains now running every 100 seconds, Walthamstow sits at the top of the second most frequent line IN THE WORLD. On it you can travel to Oxford Circus in just 19 mins (and always get a seat). Or get to Liverpool Street in 18 mins on the Overground.

Green open spaces

Waltham Forest has more green space than any other borough north of the Thames. We’ve got the sprawling Marshes, the Ponds and the Forest, not to mention dog and family-friendly parks scattered with playgrounds, outdoor gyms and picnic spots.

Family fun

There’s a reason families flock to Walthamstow - we’re spoilt for choice when it comes to fun kids’ activities, but Fellowship Square might be the icing on the cake with its all-singing, all-dancing splashtastic fountain.

Schools

Walthamstow Primaries with the highest Ofsted rating include Barclay, St Mary’s CofE and South Grove, while secondaries Frederick Bremer, Walthamstow Academy are ‘good’, and Walthamstow School for Girls ‘outstanding’. Top marks, Walthamstow schools.

Art & Culture

Waltham Forest was the first ever Mayor’s London Borough of Culture in 2019, which regenerated the local creative community. But Walthamstow has actually nurtured a lively arts scene for decades, with international names such as Grayson Perry and Peter Blake having worked on their craft here.
