IF YOU LIVED HERE

Design & Decor may need some final flourishes here and there, but you've a whole host of lovable period features just waiting to be bought back to life. Your 230 square foot, dual aspect through lounge has classic tiling in front of each chimney breast and original floorboards running underfoot throughout, all ready to be sanded and stained to their former glory.

Elsewhere your kitchen leads out to the secluded rear garden, a mix of patio and lawn sheltered behind timber fencing. There's more lovely vintage flooring upstairs, where both bedrooms are substantial doubles and your bathroom's finished in tranquil cream peach. Finally, with the loft space so far untouched, you could follow your neighbours' lead and add your own whole new storey, subject to the usual permissions.

Outside and the charms of the Walthamstow Beer mile start just at the end of your road. A much loved and feast growing part of the local landscape, this collection of independent tap room, breweries and beer gardens will have craft beer fans in heaven. First among equals is the huge Truman's Social Club, with a massive beer garden and performance space, just eight minutes away.
