"Located a short stroll from the greenery of Walthamstow Marshes, this first floor two bedroom ex Warner maisonette has been beautifully updated with a loving balance of vintage charm and modern convenience. Not only does it have spotless decor, plenty of clever storage and a separate reception and kitchen, there s a spacious share of the garden at the rear.
Lea Bridge Station is 0.8 miles away, which means you can nip to Stratford or Tottenham Hale for quick access to several very convenient tube lines, but the local neighbourhood is worth sticking around for too there s a flourishing food and drink scene right on your doorstep.
IF YOU LIVED HERE
Every time you approach your home, you ll appreciate the iconic design, which was developed by Walthamstow s first mayor at the turn of the last century, and you ll understand why they ve become so sought after now
Your bright reception room has been beautifully preserved with pristine decor and custom carpentry bathed in light from the generous windows. Both bedrooms have soft ambience thanks to the thoughtful decor, and there s bespoke carpentry in the one at the rear.
The kitchen hits the balance of being characterful but also modern, with its smart units and sparkling appliances. This theme is continued in the stylish bathroom, where you ll love the alcove that the over tub shower sits in, as well as the metro brick tiling and vintage fittings. There s plenty of storage throughout, including in the hallway at the top of your beautifully designed stairway just beyond your sole use front door.

This colour display gives a lovely sense of seclusion, but you don t have to travel far to find more nature; Hackney Marshes and Walthamstow Marshes are within strolling distance, as is the lovely Jubilee Park.
As for food and drink, this part of E17 of has boomed in recent years thanks to the availability of retail space and vacant warehouses.

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."
