If you lived here

Step inside through your own front door - a small win before you’ve even started exploring.

Head upstairs and the apartment immediately opens up into a huge, light-filled kitchen/reception, with sunshine streaming through windows on either side of a generous bay. An exposed brick chimney breast with a wood burner anchors the space, set against glossy dark timber floors and original exposed beams. The kitchen runs along one wall, where a second brick chimney breast houses an oversized ebony chef’s oven with a matching extractor. White cabinetry, a double sink, and even a built-in wine cooler keep things both practical and indulgent. A timber-topped breakfast bar and flagstone tiled flooring separate the lounge area and create the perfect perch for friends to sip and chat while you whip up a meal.

The principal bedroom follows, with the same rich floorboards, another wood burner with a white tiled hearth, and striking dark timber-framed windows. It’s minimal yet warm, a real retreat. A second bedroom continues the same vibe. Between them, the bathroom makes its statement: A fiery red clawfoot tub stealing the show, set alongside a walk-in rainfall shower and twin vanity sinks with dual mirrors.

At the rear, there’s space to tuck away a washing machine and laundry and a fully glazed balcony that feels usable year-round, regardless of the weather. From here, steps lead down into your private garden with a paved patio - a quiet, secluded backdrop ready for your imagination.

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.
