The generous reception room flows into a dining area, while sliding doors from the fitted kitchen open onto a compact, low-maintenance paved garden and private garage.
The house has clear potential: 1,290 sq ft of living space and mains gas central heating keep running costs conventional for the area. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting home working and family connectivity. St Saviour’s and Sybourn primaries (both Outstanding) are close by, making the location attractive to families with young children; secondary options are mixed, including one rated Requires Improvement.
Buyers should note some material points: the kitchen retains 1970s fittings and will require modernisation to meet contemporary expectations. The plot is small and the rear garden is compact and paved. The building dates from the late 1970s–early 1980s and has partial cavity wall insulation (assumed); an energy upgrade may be beneficial. The surrounding ward is listed as very deprived, and local amenities reflect a busy urban setting.
Overall, the property is a solid family purchase or rental opportunity for those prepared to update interiors. Its size, garage and proximity to Walthamstow Central and St James Street deliver practical everyday advantages, while straightforward modernisation could add value and comfort.
