2 bed maisonette for sale

Fleeming Road, Walthamstow, London E17

Set on a sought-after street lined with handsome Victorian homes, this beautifully renovated ground-floor maisonette couples period character with a refreshed, modern design. Inside, you’ll find two double bedrooms, a light-filled living room, a stylish kitchen, and a luxurious bathroom. A rear garden offers plenty of potential for relaxing and entertaining, with Lloyd Park and its weekly food market just a few minutes’ walk away. Surrounded by a thriving community atmosphere, it is also within easy reach of Walthamstow Central.

Arriving at the period house in which the flat is set, you’re greeted by a classic London stock brick façade, with contrasting brick lintels framing the windows and a smart arched entrance. A neat tiled front patio with a gravelled section sets the house back from the street, leading to a blue front door recessed within the brickwork.

Step inside

Beyond, the bright hallway stretches the length of the flat and enhances the sense of space. Light filters through the glazed panels and transom above the front door, which opens onto a fitted doormat that meets the engineered wood flooring. The walls are painted in a light, neutral tone, softly illuminated by pendant lights with coordinating shades. Cleverly tucked beneath the staircase, a breakfast bar/workspace makes the most of the footprint – a stylish and practical touch.

Just off the hallway, the living room makes an immediate impression with its tall walls and high picture rail, which emphasise its generous proportions. A broad southwest-facing casement window overlooks the gravelled front patio, filling the space with warm afternoon light. The earthy neutral tones, carried through from the rest of the flat, combine with the wooden flooring for a calm and cohesive feel.

A cast-iron period fireplace with a tiled hearth is a charming focal point that anchors the room. There’s space here for both dining and lounging, with alcoves offering further storage potential, while a central pendant light has a shade to match the hallway.

Set just behind the living room, the second bedroom is a good-sized double that looks towards the garden through a tall rear window, filling the space with gentle natural light. A soft cream carpet underfoot adds comfort and warmth, complemented by a central pendant. Echoing the living room, a feature period fireplace brings a sense of continuity to this restful bedroom or home office.

Continue along to the spot-lit kitchen, which is arranged in a wide galley layout, with access to the garden through a modern glazed door. The wood flooring continues seamlessly from the hallway, while taupe matt cabinets harmonise with the neutral palette and are finished with sleek black handles and matching tapware for a refined touch. A white worktop stone pairs with a glossy green metro-tiled splashback, adding a subtle pop of colour and contrast.

Integrated appliances include a Bosch microwave and oven, a gas hob and stainless-steel extractor. The design is completed with a concealed fridge-freezer, dishwasher and washing machine, creating an uncluttered look.

Just beyond the kitchen, the bathroom combines contemporary styling with subtle period-inspired touches. Glossy metro tiles, laid vertically for a fresh twist, form an elegant splashback, while the tiled floor and neutral walls create a cohesive backdrop. A wall-hung toilet with a chrome flush plate and a wall-hung square basin, set on a chunky wooden counter with traditional-style mounted taps, sits alongside a deep bath and recessed shower enclosure. The space is finished with a traditional-look chrome heated towel rail, a frosted side window for natural light, and ceiling spots.

The primary bedroom occupies the rear of the flat, creating a spacious and serene retreat. Fitted with a soft cream carpet, it feels warm and inviting underfoot and features a pair of awning windows that frame views over the garden. A central pendant provides overhead illumination, supported by conveniently placed sockets for bedside lighting.

Outdoors

The garden is an excellent length for a flat, extending approximately 50-feet. Accessed via a side door from the kitchen, a path leads into the garden, with the left-hand side belonging to the flat. A wooden shed sits on a patio at the end of the garden.
