If you lived here...

Framed by a classic bay window and a covered porch, this Victorian conversion introduces itself with quiet charm and timeless detail. Inside, the ground floor opens into a free-flowing kitchen and reception room, where wood flooring runs throughout, complemented by pale grey cabinetry and crisp white tiling. The layout is thoughtfully designed for modern living, with ample space for both cooking and relaxing. A pair of windows and a glazed door ensure plenty of natural light, while a built-in storage cupboard beside the entrance adds daily convenience.

Centrally located, the shower room is a standout feature, beautifully styled with rich green tiles and soft pink walls for a confident, contemporary look. A frosted window enhances the light while preserving privacy, and the overall finish is both bold and refined. At the rear, the double bedroom enjoys a quiet outlook through twin windows, with soft tones and natural flooring that create a restful atmosphere. It’s a calm and considered space, tucked away from the social areas of the home.

Step outside to find a truly inviting garden where a paved terrace offers room to dine or unwind, framed by well-established planting and a deep stretch of lawn. Ivy-draped fencing, flowering shrubs and a built-in bench complete this leafy urban oasis, ideal for summer gatherings or peaceful mornings with a coffee. A side return enhances both privacy and practicality.

A word from the expert...

"For me it’s the sheer variety you find in each pocket of Walthamstow that makes working and socialising here so enjoyable. Whether it’s having a coffee from Perky Blenders, going for a Sunday morning walk in Epping Forest, dropping into one of the local breweries in Blackhorse Road, or catching up with friends in Lloyd Park, the growth and positive changes within E17 have been incredible in recent years."
