IF YOU LIVED HERE…

With the perfect balance of period charm and contemporary convenience, this apartment has been lovingly updated with a loft conversion, making it even more of a find than iconic ex-Warner properties are already.

Coming in at almost 1000 square foot, you’ll have plenty of space to spread out inside, while the thoughtful updates not only keep the home gorgeously smart but provide clever storage solutions, such as the built-in bespoke hidden shoe storage in the hallway and vast eaves cupboards running across the front of the apartment.

The neutral decor and contemporary fittings blend seamlessly with vintage features like the feature fireplace and original flooring in the spacious reception. This room is bursting with light thanks to the generous windows, while the two first floor bedrooms are bright and spotless too.

In the sizeable kitchen, you’ll find smart cabinets, timber worktops and herringbone tiling - and there’s space for dining here as well as in the reception room, which can comfortably fit a six-seater table. The fact that you have a separate utility area with a concealed washing machine/dryer will feel like a real luxury if you’ve not had one before - no more juggling laundry and dishes in the kitchen.

The first floor bathroom is just as gorgeous, with underfloor heating, handmade tiles from Tangier, and smart features such as the over-tub shower and vanity basin.

The newly converted loft is the ideal retreat, with its immaculate decor, sweeping views of the London skyline (including the Shard in the distance) and considered features like the column radiator and wall lights. As well as a huge amount of eaves storage, you’ll find a fantastic ensuite bathroom, with a shower and glorious yellow flooring.

At the rear you have a private garden, which is wonderfully spacious with a lawn, mature foliage and sun-trap raised decking. Beyond that, you’ll find countless amenities, including the much-lauded veg-friendly restaurant SlowBurn, bottle shop/eatery Forest Wines, the community-centred bouldering studio Yonder, and the creative studio Blackhorse Workshop, which runs a variety of brilliant classes. You’re also a short hop from the Blackhorse Beer Mile, where you’ll find some of East London’s best craft beer breweries, bars and street food. Keep your eyes out for events at Big Penny Social - it’s got some good ones.

You’re just a few minutes from the fantastic Walthamstow Wetlands, which has cycle routes which lead to some of East London’s most popular destinations such as the Olympic Park.

As well as having Blackhorse Road station so nearby for the Victoria and Suffragette lines, St James Street station is only an 11 min stroll for the nifty Weaver line to London Liverpool Street.
