London

Unlike many you may have seen, this fantastic 1930s first floor maisonette stands out from the crowd, offering a huge sole-use garden and no ongoing chain, meaning you could be settling into your new home sooner than you might expect. Entering through your own private front door, the sense of space and light is immediately noticeable. Compared to many Victorian conversions, the proportions feel brighter and more open, helped by the classic 1930s layout and large windows. There’s also the added bonus of a generous loft space, ideal for additional storage. At the front of the property, the beautiful reception room is a welcoming place to relax or entertain. The room retains its original covings, while the characterful cast iron fireplace creates a lovely focal point. Combined with wood flooring and a bright bay window, it’s a wonderfully airy living space filled with natural light. Along the hallway you’ll find the second bedroom, which comfortably accommodated a double bed before the current owner transformed it into a peaceful home office. Overlooking the trees across the street, it’s an inspiring and tranquil place to work or unwind. Towards the rear of the home sits the spacious principal bedroom, along with a modern-style bathroom and a fully fitted kitchen with plenty of natural light. One of the most unique features of this property is accessed via the internal staircase, which leads down to an impressive 40ft x 20ft sole-use garden. Surrounded by mature trees that provide privacy in the warmer months, the garden offers a wonderful outdoor retreat. There’s also ample space for a detached studio or home office. Being semi-detached, the property also benefits from useful side access, perfect for storing bikes, while the hardstanding to the front has been used for parking and is particularly convenient for those with electric vehicles.

The location is equally appealing. Positioned on one of Upper Walthamstow’s most desirable turnings, you’re surrounded by the vast green open spaces of Epping Forest, yet still within easy reach of everything needed for modern living. Walthamstow Central and Snaresbrook stations are both under a mile away, providing swift connections via the Victoria and Central lines, while Wood Street station is just a seven-minute walk. The current owner loves grabbing coffee from the independent cafés dotted along Wood Street, before enjoying the short stroll through Walthamstow Village on the way to the station. For evenings out, the ever-popular Ravenswood Industrial Estate and the restaurants and bars around Snaresbrook offer a fantastic choice of places to eat, drink and socialise. A rare blend of space, character, outdoor living and location, this charming maisonette offers something truly special in the heart of Upper Walthamstow.
