IF YOU LIVED HERE...

The entrance sets the tone for this characterful home, with a glazed front door, sidelites, and a transom window leading into a spacious hallway that runs the full length of the house. An original plaster arch hints at its heritage, while a long cellar offers further potential.

To the left, two reception rooms have been opened as one, connected by a graceful archway. A striking Edwardian bay window in the front reception bathes both rooms in natural light, accentuating the ornate coving, cornicing, and ceiling rose in the second reception. These spaces are ready to be revived, offering an elegant setting for entertaining or relaxing. The kitchen, though simple, remains functional and leads directly onto the side return, presenting an opportunity to extend and reconfigure the space (STPP). Beyond, a third reception room opens onto the private garden—a blank canvas with space to create a peaceful outdoor retreat. At the far end, there’s even potential for a studio or garden room.

Upstairs, four bedrooms and a family bathroom are arranged off a spacious landing with built-in storage. The main bedroom, mirroring the reception below, features a bay window and glazed double doors leading onto a generously sized balcony, waiting to be restored. Two further bedrooms provide ample space for doubles, while the fourth is ideal as a nursery, dressing room, or home office. The bathroom, with its large corner bath and separate shower, is well-proportioned and ready for modernisation. With the potential to extend into the loft (STPP), this is a fantastic opportunity to breathe new life into a period home, tailoring it to your vision while adding value.

Just a short stroll away, God’s Own Junkyard dazzles with its neon displays, while Wood Street Indoor Market offers vintage finds, independent traders, and unique collectibles. Lloyd Park, home to the William Morris Gallery, provides green space to unwind, and on Saturdays, its lively market brings fresh produce and artisan food to the heart of the community. A 10-minute walk leads to Walthamstow Village, where independent cafes, restaurants, and The Village Pub await.

For families, the area offers excellent schools, including Henry Maynard Primary School, just a 12-minute walk away. With both primary and secondary options nearby, this is an ideal location for those looking to settle in a well-connected and thriving community.

Walthamstow Central is just a 12-minute walk, offering excellent Victoria Line and Overground links for quick connections to the city and beyond. Whether commuting or heading out for the day, fast and frequent services make travel easy. Around the station, a lively mix of shops, cafes, restaurants, and bars provides everything from independent coffee spots to high street favourites.
