A word from the owner...

We have lived on Douglas Avenue for 12 years, firstly as a couple and latterly as a family. We have loved our time here, and this has been a joy-filled and happy home for us.

As a family we have cherished the close knit nature of the community around us, with many friends on Douglas Avenue and surrounding streets. There is a strong sense of village which we will really miss. We have especially enjoyed the proximity to Lloyd Park, and more recently to the fantastic play cafe on Billet Road. We are a 20-minute walk from numerous great restaurants, cafes, pubs and the new Soho Theatre. We are a short bus ride from the Blackhorse Beer Mile.

As someone who freelances in multiple areas around London I can vouch for how well-connected it is, and for anyone who needs to fly regularly the accessibility to both Stansted and City airports is extremely good. We are also minutes from both the North Circular and M11.

We are very close to numerous schools, including the highly rated Roger Ascham, Winns and Hilyfields Primary Schools, and one minute walk from Walthamstow Academy, which had the best A Level results in Waltham Forest in 2025.

All of this combines to make our area a true hidden gem in Walthamstow.
