2 bed terraced house for sale

Albany Road, Walthamstow E17

A two-bedroom Victorian terrace, elegantly finished with twin receptions, large rear garden and plenty of scope for further development (STPP). You're just a short walk from St James Street station and the High Street, with St James Park, Walthamstow Wetlands and Marshes also within walking distance.

You have over 1000 square feet to stretch out in here, with scope to follow in the footsteps of some of your neighbours and add a whole new storey (subject to the usual permissions). Interior design is smart throughout, with high ceilings and lots of natural light.

Walthamstow High Street, with its famous market, is just half a mile on foot while St James Street station, for Weaver overground trains to Liverpool Street, is even closer. You're well placed for nature too, with the 500-acre Walthamstow Wetlands around fifteen minutes on foot.
Your new home


Step inside and your front reception is on the left, with light blonde hardwood underfoot and natural light flowing in from the box bay window. An ornate stone mantel and vintage hearth with working gas fireplace take centre stage, and everything's finished in white to make the most of all that light.

Next is your dedicated dining room. There's more blonde hardwood underfoot in here, and double patio doors leading to your garden and letting in the morning sunshine. A cupboard under the stairs also provides access to a substantial basement which, while unfinished, can provide extra storage or development opportunities.

Outside you have a lengthy run of lawn, stretching between a pathway and timber fencing, and ending in an elevated, BBQ-perfect patio with a thriving ivy backdrop.

You can head back inside via your kitchen, dual aspect and fourteen feet deep with a generous suite of woodgrain effect cabinets and dark, quartz effect worktops. White tiling runs underfoot.

An enclosed staircase leads upstairs and your principal bedroom sits to the front, a generous double of 180 square foot, carpeted with twin windows framing leafy green views. Bedroom two to the rear is another double, similarly styled.

Your family bathroom completes the first floor, smartly finished in a mix of smoky sandstone tiling and pristine white paintwork. There's a sleek modern suite and a shower over the tub.

Finally, you have your loft space still untouched, partially boarded for ample storage space; alternatively, you could potentially extend the loft, adding a whole new storey here, making this a home that can grow with you and yours.
