2 bed flat for sale

Markhouse Road, Walthamstow E17

Set within a handsome Victorian terrace near the ever-popular St James area of Walthamstow, this stylish ground-floor apartment makes a strong impression. Spanning 860 sq ft, the home offers two well-proportioned bedrooms and a bright kitchen/diner, with a layout that's both smart and versatile—ideal for modern living.

The location blends the best of both worlds: Just a short stroll to St James Street Overground for swift connections into the city, and within easy reach of the expansive Walthamstow Wetlands, offering miles of walking trails, wildlife, and wide-open skies. It’s a place where you really can have the energy of London and the calm of nature, right on your doorstep.

If you lived here...

From the moment you step through your own private entrance—a sleek black door —you’re welcomed straight into a South West facing garden oasis, benefitting from all day sun. Stretching over 26 feet and covering more than 500 square feet, this thoughtfully zoned outdoor space is a rare gem. Paving stones frame a neat strip of lawn, while a decked area flows directly from the kitchen, leading to a covered pergola—perfect for alfresco dining, rain or shine. Surrounded by a mix of brick wall and horizontal slatted timber fencing, the space feels both private and contemporary. It’s south west facing too, so you’ll have all day sun.

Inside, a wide, inky blue hallway sets a confident tone and draws you into the heart of the home. Immediately on your left, a beautifully styled bathroom blends classic and contemporary with full-height white tiling, black floors, matte black fittings, and a generous walk-in rainfall shower. A separate utility room just next door adds practical convenience.

Both double bedrooms sit at the front of the house. The larger enjoys twin windows and a bold, moody blue palette, with warm wood flooring underfoot. The second double benefits from dual-aspect light—bright, calm, and inviting.

The living area is a calm, airy space with soft white walls punctuated by a green and ochre feature walls that add depth and personality. A crisp white mantelpiece frames the fireplace, creating a subtle focal point without overpowering the room.

To the rear, the kitchen and dining area are sleek and well-considered. Green cabinetry pairs with glossy black tiling and under-cabinet LED lighting to give it just the right amount of edge. Integrated appliances keep the space functional and fuss-free, while the dining area, tucked in front of the French doors, lets you enjoy the garden’s changing moods all year round.

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."
