St. Barnabas Road Walthamstow , E17 8JY

After exploring your new neighbourhood, you’ll completely understand why E17 is so often dubbed as one of the best places to live in the press, but with such a lovely home, you may struggle with wanting to leave… Your dual aspect double-reception room is a light-filled sanctuary, with fantastic parquet flooring and a feature fireplace. The tasteful decor carries on through to the bright dine-in kitchen, which does a wonderful job of balancing tradition with modern convenience; see the pristine cabinets, immaculate tiling and high-spec appliances. The bi-fold doors open up to your lovely rear garden, which is full of leafy foliage to bring a feel of seclusion. On your first floor, you’ll find two immaculately decorated bedrooms and a beautifully designed family-sized bathroom, while in the loft you’ve got another two bedrooms and bathroom - just as stylish, too. As well as having a garden, you’ve got plenty of greenery nearby; Thomas Gamuel park is a mere block away, where you’ll find rolling lawns, sport facilities and an excellent playground. The always-charming Walthamstow Village is less than a mile away - and packed with brilliant eateries, while the same distance in the other direction, you’ll find St James St and its creative hub CRATE, a great spot for socialising. Closer to home, you’ll find the Bakers Arms neighbourhood, which has gems such as The Gleaners at Hornbeam Cafe, Gnarly Vines and brand new artisan bakery Suba.
