Pretoria Avenue, Walthamstow E17

On the second floor of a period building in the lively buzz of St James Street, this 564 sq ft apartment makes the most of every inch. It’s light-filled, well laid out, and beautifully presented. Inside, there’s a generous open-plan kitchen/reception room, a spacious double bedroom, and a sleek, contemporary bathroom — all finished to a high standard and with a calm, move-in-ready feel. There's even a communal roof terrace, so you'll get to know your neighbours in no time. St James Street Overground is just a few minutes’ walk away, taking you straight into Liverpool Street, while the Walthamstow Wetlands offer open skies and green space when you want a break from the city pace.

If you lived here

Your new apartment greets you with its own private front door—a small touch that makes a big difference.
To the left lies a calm, double bedroom wrapped in soft taupe tones. Two alcoves offer handy nooks for shelves or storage, while the sash window, dressed with half-height wooden shutters, brings in a gentle glow and helps keep the world at bay when it’s time to rest.
Directly opposite, the bathroom makes a bold statement. Deep green walls frame a crisp white suite with a bath-and-shower combination, while a window keeps the space light and fresh. A generous, built-in cupboard sits nearby—perfect for keeping coats, shoes, and everyday bits neatly tucked out of sight.
At the heart of the home is an open-plan kitchen, dining, and living space: Sociable, bright and effortlessly liveable. The kitchen runs the full width of the room, with sleek custom-made stainless steel units and space for all the essentials—fridge, oven, washing machine, and sink. A bay window brightens the space, softened by plantation shutters hand-made by artist Morgan Ico for privacy on your terms.
The décor sets the mood with confidence: One deep charcoal wall with alcove shelving for character, balanced by the same warm taupe that runs through the home. There’s room to dine, relax, and configure the space to suit your lifestyle—whether that’s curling up with a book, sharing meals with friends, or simply enjoying a quiet evening in.
With a communal rooftop bike rack and a shared terrace often buzzing with al fresco dinners, even the spaces beyond your front door feel special. And then there’s your own little private spot—where you’ll find yourself drawn most evenings, just to watch the sunsets put on their nightly show.
Described by the Times as "diverse, vibrant, and cool without being frosty, " Walthamstow offers everything from bustling hangouts and independent shops to beautiful parkland and handsome period homes. It’s no wonder this neighbourhood continues to be a magnet for those looking to put down roots.

A word from the expert......

I love living in Walthamstow – it’s got such a great mix of things going on. Saturdays are my favourite, with the market in Lloyd Park full of fresh food, handmade bits, and plenty of friendly faces. The new Soho Theatre has brought amazing shows right to our doorstep, and if I fancy a pint, the Blackhorse Beer Mile breweries are perfect for a wander. When I need some fresh air, the Walthamstow Wetlands are just a short stroll away – all that greenery makes you completely forget you’re in London. Plus, with brilliant transport links, it’s so easy to hop on the Tube or Overground and be in Central London in no time at all.
