Description

You won't be disappointed by this beautifully presented 2 bedroom Victorian ground floor flat which benefits from an extended kitchen / living room and direct access into your private rear garden. Just moments from Lloyd Park and all its community amenities and with Walthamstow Central Station within walking distance, the Victoria line runs directly through to the Westend, this unmissable gem is best placed to appreciate one of London’s most sort after neighbourhoods.

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!"
