1 bed Flat For Sale £400,000
A lovingly developed one bedroom apartment on the ground floor of a substantial Victorian end of terrace, with all the benefits of being effectively semi detached. Inside, there's a real rustic feel and an abundance of vintage features, plus you have a wonderfully secluded rear courtyard garden.
You're enviably located here in our sought-after, truly central locale with the High Street to the south, Forest Road to the north, Blackhorse Lane to the west and Hoe Street to the east. In between you're on one of a peaceful set of residential streets with everything that makes our borough so special at your fingertips.
If you lived here
You'll be proudly welcoming guests into your generous front reception, pushing 200 square feet, with gorgeously rich original timber floorboards underfoot and made to measure blinds sitting on the oversized bay window, flooding everything with natural light. The striking statement chimney breast is home to a beautiful bespoke pewter fireplace with Art Deco tiled detailing.
Next door your bedroom's an elegantly serene affair, with more original flooring, a timber mantel and views over your tranquil rear garden. Out here you have a blend of patio and slate with a scattering of diverse pots and a handy shed. Back inside and your kitchen features timeless terracotta flooring, an oversized exposed brick hearth and a Royal Doulton butler sink. Finally, your bathroom is a recently refurbished classic with smoky grey tiling and a shower over the large teardrop shaped tub.
Outside and as noted you couldn't be better placed for everything Walthamstow has to offer. Walthamstow Central station is just half a mile on foot for direct, twenty minute runs to Oxford Circus and Liverpool Street. Walthamstow High Street is closer still and home to Europe's longest street market plus the Walthamstow Mall, while head to Blackhorse Lane and you'll find the increasingly famous Walthamstow Beer Mile, a selection of breweries and taprooms including the colossal Truman's Social Club, performance space and beer garden.
What else?
- The landscaped gardens and open green spaces of Lloyd Park are just over ten minutes' walk, home to cafes, courts and a wide choice of sports clubs and classes.
- Reassuring security features include a burglar alarm, a motion sensing light to the rear, secure bike locking ring and a high strength, fensa certified rear door to the kitchen.
- crate St James is yet another thriving social hub just moments from your front door. Here you'll find an eclectic mix of entrepreneurial enterprises from burger joints to barbers and yoga studios.

A word from the owner....
"I thought I would stay for just a short time when I moved in sixteen years ago! I have loved my entire time here in this home and in this neighbourhood. Renovating this home to make it a welcoming sanctuary has been a labour of love, and the development of the garden an ongoing joy. I have seen Walthamstow develop into a vibrant community offering so many opportunities and experiences. As a keen competitive rower, I have been fortunate to be a member of the Lea Rowing Club on the nearby River Lea. Spending the weekends on the water, sharing the river with amazing wildlife has been a refreshing contrast to fast-paced City life.
As a yoga teacher, I have benefited from this friendly and welcoming area, and many of my students are neighbours! My garden was a saviour during the lockdown periods with plenty of opportunities for growing new plants, practicing yoga and leading Zoom workout sessions in the zen area. The garden is large and private and benefits from access directly from the side road. I have forged lasting friendships here and it will be a wrench to leave this haven, but life is all about timing and I would be happy to hand this property over to new owners who love it as much as I have.
