This beautiful Victorian home in Walthamstow is a treat for families looking to make the most of the area’s stunning nature and shop-lined streets offering a plethora of cute cafés and cosy restaurants. Wonderfully renovated with a keen eye for design, every inch of this home has been curated with calm relaxation in mind. We love the incredible amount of light that flows in through the living room’s bay windows, creating the perfect setting for lazy mornings on the sofa with a mug of tea and one of the many books on the shelves. Step through to the stylish open-plan kitchen area with its polished concrete floors and underfloor heating for an even more dazzling display of light with sunlight streaming in through the skylights and the glass doors leading out onto a private leafy garden. This is the perfect spot to enjoy sunny barbecues, lawn games and plenty of fun for little ones on the trampoline. And should the weather turn, there’s plenty to keep all ages entertained inside with toys, books and everyone’s favourite streaming services. When it’s time for bed, head upstairs to the comfortable dressed bedrooms – one of which is specially kitted out for younger... members of the family – and wake up to the promise of a relaxing soak under the metro-tiled bathroom’s rainfall shower. While you could easily while away whole days in your welcoming home, venture out to explore the many sights nearby. The William Morris Gallery is an eleven-minute walk, Walthamstow Village is a sixteen-minute stroll and Walthamstow Wetlands – Europe's largest urban wetlands – is fifteen minutes away on foot. And should you wish to spend a day in the heart of buzzing Central London, you need only hop on the Victoria Line to be whisked away to Oxford Circus in twenty-two minutes.
