Elsewhere, the kitchen is fitted with sleek grey cabinetry, dark quartz-effect worktops, chrome fittings and sage decor, while the rear bedroom is bright and smartly finished.

As for the area, you only have to step out on the main hub of Orford Road over the weekend to see what a fantastic community the area has.

There’s so much to explore, so prepare to be busy.

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”.
