Harris Street Walthamstow , E17 8EG

"The best bit about this flat is the south-west facing garden which is filled with sunshine from early morning through to early evening. We have enjoyed everything from growing fruit and veg, to BBQs, and lots coffee & brunches out there. We spend a lot of time in the garden socialising with friends and also with our lovely neighbours on either side, however, the flat is within ten minute's walk of many parks and green spaces if you want a run, walk or just a change of scenery: Leyton Jubilee Park, St James' Park, Walthamstow Marshes, Hackney Marshes, Millfields Park, the Waterworks Nature Reserve and the Lee Valley Riding Centre. The area has great transport connections all within walking distance; Walthamstow central (Victoria Line), St James Street (Overground), Leyton (Central) and plenty of buses to Hackney/Shoreditch - all of which we use depending on what our plans are. As such, you're never short of something to do: whether it's an art day in central, an evening out in Hackney, a meal in Walthamstow Village, or some Sunday shopping on Chatsworth Road in Hackney, or Francis Road in Leyton. You're also only one-stop on the train to Westfield. The local area itself has been really changed in recent years with a steady stream of openings including a couple of new cafes (Shed and Bromley), a deli (Pinch la Deli), food shops, and a revamped local pub along with a new art and social space (Patchworks). Our favourite thing is having lunch and sometimes dinner (as they have monthly residencies) at Lighthaus cafe - it's a must-visit on your first day of living here. Inside the flat, there are many nice original features and character incl. parquet flooring and a brand new fitted kitchen to mention a few. One of the things we'll miss is the living room, at the front, which is flooded with light in the evenings and is a lovely place to wind down each day."
