Set on a quiet Walthamstow street, this first‑floor two-bedroom conversion offers generous living space and original period character. The wide open-plan kitchen/lounge, large bay windows and exposed brick chimneys create a bright, sociable heart to the home. A glazed balcony and private rear garden extend the living space outdoors.
Presented to a good standard throughout, the apartment measures approximately 887 sq ft and retains features such as timber floors, wood burners and sash-style windows. The layout suits a professional couple or first-time buyers wanting flexible space for entertaining and home working, while nearby St James Street Overground and Walthamstow Central tube keep central London within easy reach.
Practical details to note: the property is leasehold with about 125 years remaining. The building is an early-20th-century solid-brick construction likely without cavity insulation; the glazing is double glazed but the installation date is unknown. There is medium flood risk for the area, and any extension or significant alteration would require planning consent (STPP).
Overall this is a well-proportioned period conversion with outdoor space and strong transport links. It will particularly suit buyers prioritising character, light and a private garden, though purchasers should factor in long-term maintenance, potential insulation improvements and the leasehold tenure when calculating costs.
