If you lived here...

As you step inside, you're welcomed by a hallway with built-in storage - a practical and tidy introduction to the thoughtfully designed interior beyond. The hallway leads to a modern bathroom, decorated in soothing neutral tones with tasteful tiling and a sleek bath with an overhead shower - ideal for a relaxing soak or a quick refresh.
The lounge is a beautifully bright and welcoming space, with two windows dressed in white shutters that allow natural light to pour in throughout the day. Built-in storage keeps the room feeling calm and uncluttered, while engineered hardwood flooring, which extends through most of the home, adds warmth and elegance underfoot.
Flowing seamlessly from the lounge is the kitchen/diner - a fantastic area for both cooking and entertaining. It features matching wood flooring, a cheerful yellow tile splashback, white cabinetry and overhead cupboards providing ample storage with under cabinet lighting. Integrated appliances are neatly built in, and there’s space for a dining table, making this a sociable and functional heart of the home.
Tucked quietly to the rear of the property, the bedroom offers a peaceful retreat. A bay window floods the room with natural light while the shutters add privacy. Soft carpet underfoot creates a cosy atmosphere, while crisp white walls are paired with a striking leaf-patterned feature wallpaper. There's plenty of space for a double bed and additional furnishings, making it both stylish and restful.
Set just across the road from the green open spaces of St James Park, the flat enjoys a truly enviable location. Walthamstow Wetlands, a vast nature reserve perfect for weekend strolls or morning runs, is also close by. The area is well-served with a growing number of independent pubs, eateries, and cafés, adding to its vibrant, community feel. Local favourites include the Curious Goat café and Big Penny Social, a lively venue known for its food, drink, and events. Whether you're after nature, great coffee, or a relaxed night out, it's all right on your doorstep.
