Description
IF YOU LIVED HERE...
From the moment you arrive, the sleek charcoal exterior with matching windows offers instant curb appeal, giving your new home a sophisticated, ultra-modern presence on the street. Step inside, and you’ll find that this beautifully appointed property is just as strong with its interior style cues.
As you come through the door it is the two double bedrooms you’ll discover first, sharing the same gorgeous oak-stained herringbone parquet flooring, a nod to the property’s Victorian pedigree. The principal bedroom, currently serving as a dressing room, is filled with light from the bay window and offers ample storage with a wall of built-in cupboards. The second bedroom, also decorated in the same soothing neutrals, enjoys direct garden access through a glazed door, offering a private entrance and a serene escape to your green space beyond. The bathroom is a true contemporary sanctuary, showcasing smoky blue chevron tiles that rise to the ceiling cleverly echoing the pattern of the flooring, perfectly paired with contemporary black fixtures. The combination bath and shower, complemented by a discreet window, brings natural light into the room, a private retreat within your home. Your extended kitchen, dining, and living area is an open-plan marvel, flooded with natural light from two sides, creating a welcoming atmosphere and again benefitting from the super stylish oak-hued wooden flooring throughout. The modern kitchen is both functional and sociable, featuring a central island that doubles as a breakfast bar—perfect for cooking and chatting with guests. Smart downlights add a warm ambience when evening sets in. The full-height glass-to-ceiling doors open fully to seamlessly extend your living space into the outdoors, making your private garden an integral part of the home.
Outdoors, you’ll find a spacious, secure garden. The minimalist design offers a blank canvas with essentials in place: a large lawn and a patio directly outside the kitchen, ideal for al fresco dining and summer BBQs.

A WORD FROM THE OWNERS...
"We've lived here for three years and have loved every minute of it - it has been the most amazing first home for us! From the green space and weekly food market at Lloyd Park to the short walk to the village or the wetlands, this house has served us well and made living in Walthamstow an utter joy. Plus there are great transport links with a short walk to either Walthamstow Central (under and overground) or Blackhorse Road stations. We will be sad to leave this house which has had many firsts and special memories for us and we hope whoever buys it enjoys it as much as we have!"

Rent-driven metrics
Based on OpenRent comparables.
- Rent ratio — Monthly rent ÷ purchase price (1% rule). 1%+ = strong, 0.8–1% = okay, <0.8% = weak for cashflow.
- Max investor price — Rent ÷ 0.8%; the price at which rent would be 0.8% of price (Stoke-style target).
- Target investor price — Rent ÷ 1%; the price at which rent would be 1% of price (strong cashflow band).
- Gross yield — Annual rent as % of purchase price (no costs).
- Cost-to-rent — Price ÷ annual rent (from OpenRent comparables). Under 14× = strong, 14–16× = acceptable, 17×+ = compressed.
- Cashflow — Rent minus mortgage, 10% maintenance, £25/mo compliance. Assumes 75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term.
- ROI — Annual profit ÷ cash in (deposit + 4% purchase costs).
