You’re set up well with the front reception room, which is nicely bright thanks to the generous bay windows. The bespoke carpentry is not only convenient, but beautifully designed too.

This is a great sized space, rich with leafy climbers and mature foliage to bring a real sense of calm seclusion. Upstairs you’ll find two double bedrooms, both with in-built storage, plus a family-bathroom.

A word from the expert...

"For me it’s the sheer variety you find in each pocket of Walthamstow that makes working and socialising here so enjoyable.
Whether it’s having a coffee from Perky Blenders, going for a Sunday morning walk in Epping Forest, dropping into one of the local breweries in Blackhorse Road, or catching up with friends in Lloyd Park, the growth and positive changes within E17 have been incredible in recent years."
