This five-bedroom end-of-terrace house on Douglas Avenue offers practical family living in the heart of Walthamstow. Ground floor living includes two reception rooms, an extended modern kitchen and a living room with patio doors onto a well-maintained south-facing garden that wraps around the side of the property. Driveway parking adds everyday convenience for families with cars.
Upstairs are five good-sized bedrooms, an ensuite to the main bedroom and a family bathroom. The home is presented in good condition with double glazing and gas central heating; the vendor reports an EPC rating of C. There is also potential to extend, subject to planning permission, for buyers seeking extra space or long-term value uplift.
Important practical details: the property is leasehold and sits in an area with above-average crime rates, so buyers should check lease terms, local security measures and insurance costs. The house is a period solid-brick build (c.1900–1929) with assumed no wall insulation — buyers may want to budget for energy-efficiency improvements. No flood risk is recorded and local transport, schools and amenities are strong for commuting families.
