IF YOU LIVED HERE...

Beyond the handsome brick frontage and traditional front door, your large reception room is bursting with light thanks to the large sash framed bay windows and the Crittall door at the rear. You’ll love the period features throughout, from the original wooden floorboards to the striking fireplace surrounds.

The dine-in kitchen is contemporary yet full of traditional style, with a breakfast bar as well as space for a table. Again, there’s plenty of natural light due to the generous amount of windows. You’ll love being able to spill out into the rear garden, which has a brilliant mix of foliage including palms and leafy climbers. As well as the custom beds, there’s a west-facing patio and sizeable lawn, plus a brilliantly convenient studio at the rear.

Upstairs, the three bedrooms are just eye-pleasing as the rest of the house. As for the first floor bathroom, it’s bright and modern with an over-tub shower. Even the landing and hallway are charming with the original doors, flooring and dado rail.

Beyond your front door, you can enjoy exploring in all directions… You’re just a few minutes on foot from Hucks, where you’ll find ‘the tastiest coffee, pastries and sourdough,’ to quote an article in the Evening Standard. A few minutes further you’ll also find authentic sushi takeaway Ohba Leaf Kitchen, while the fantastically cosy Castle gastropub is a similar distance. Kids will be delighted to discover that you have Wingfield playground within hopping distance.

A few minutes beyond, Orford Road forms the hub of Walthamstow Village, where you’ve got more pubs, including The Queens Arms and Nags Head, as well as the award-winning brasserie-cum-store Eat 17, plus much more. The village square is a fantastic place to sit and people watch while enjoy the gentle hustle and bustle.

Nearby you’ll also find the unique Ravenswood Industrial Estate, which is home to the ever-popular God’s Own Junkyard, as well as breweries Wildcard Brewery Tap, Pillars Brewery, Trap, plus gin palace Mother’s Ruin.

Despite being in such a cosmopolitan hub, you’re surrounded by excellent green space; Lloyd Park, which houses the William Morris Gallery, is 15 minutes north, Fellowship Square, with its impressive fountains, is in the same area, while Hollow Ponds, at the cusp of Epping Forest, is around 15 minutes east.
