2 bed Flat For Sale £600,000
This charming two-bedroom period home is located in one of the area’s most sought-after spots on the border of Walthamstow Village, close to Poet’s Corner, Lloyd Park and the many amenities surrounding the tube. However, despite having so much going on nearby, Folkestone Road is a peaceful residential street, so it’s a win-win situation.
As the home unfolds over two floors, it has a great sense of space, while also striking a remarkable balance between traditional flair and modern convenience. The private rear garden is the icing on the cake.
If you lived here...
You’ll love this fantastic spot to the north of Walthamstow Village, where it’s easy to piggyback on neighbouring areas, such as Poet’s Corner, Lloyd Park and Walthamstow Central. Within a five minute walk you’ve got everything from a nine-screen cinema and the ultra-convenient Victoria line to award-winning restaurants and top-rated gastro-pubs.
When it comes to eateries, there are heaps of established favourites in the areas around Hoe Street and Orford Road - Spicebox, Yard Sale Pizza, Sodo and Shri Lakshmi in the former, and Peeld, Eat 17, Orford’s Fish & Chips and The Saloon in the latter, but new arrivals to the scene ensure a steady buzz and feeling of energy. Cocktail bar Bargo is set to open on Orford Road this winter, while authentic Japanese restaurant Taro will be a great addition to the high street.
Back at home, your front reception room has been beautifully preserved, with original timber floorboards underfoot and a stunning original fireplace, all bathed in light from the generously-sized bay windows. The dine-in kitchen hits the sweet spot between being characterful but also modern, with its rustic flooring, warm colour palette, exposed brickwork and metro tiles. This theme is continued in the bathroom, where you’ll love the metro tiling, monochrome floor and vintage-style fittings.
Both bedrooms are comfortable doubles with plenty of room for storage. The one in the basement has carpeting, which adds to its feeling of being a cosy den, while the one on the ground floor has more of those great original floor boards.
Outside, you’ll find your large rear garden, which is packed with foliage and has a patio for al fresco dining. There’s also an abundance of green space nearby, from Lloyd Park to Hollow Ponds and the Walthamstow Wetlands, so you might be eyeing up that garden shed for bike storage.
Walthamstow Central tube is mere minutes away, meaning you can hop on the tube or overground and be in the West End or City in less than half and hour.
What else?
- There’s a buzz in the air about Soho Theatre Walthamstow, a 1000 seat performance space that will be home to world-class entertainment when it opens in 2023 - and it’ll be a few minutes from your front door.
- If you want a change of scenery, head to Fellowship Square for its all-singing, all-dancing fountains, a delight for both kids and grown-up kids-at-heart.
- As well as being so close to Walthamstow Central station, you’re in a great spot for accessing the borough excellent bus network; the bus station is a few minutes away.

A word from the owner...
"I have lived in the property since 2001. The area has changed so much. Pretty much everything you need is here - 5 minute walk to the Village or 5 minute walk to the tube. Cinema just down the road and soon there will be a theatre and a world class comedy venue too. It is a friendly street to live on and surprisingly quiet given it's closeness to all amenities."
