Orford Road, Walthamstow

This is a rare opportunity to buy a landmark property in the prime Walthamstow Village location of Orford Road. Set over three storeys and with a modern loft-like two storey rear extension, the property is finished to a very high standard and in immaculate condition. The whole building currently has Class E commercial usage but has potential for a return to its former partly residential usage.

IF YOU OWNED THIS PROPERTY

You’d have a stunning 2,184 square feet of internal space as well as a courtyard garden and a parking space. Comprising a traditional three storey period building and a beautifully designed contemporary two storey extension this building offers the best of both worlds, combining elegant period proportions and features with a thoroughly modern new extension.

The thoughtful renovation of the property has produced a building with a light and airy ambience that’s ideally suited to a variety of uses. With high spec fixtures and fittings that include bespoke ply cabinetry and carpentry, pocket doors, downlighters and air conditioning, the space could be easily used as a shop, showroom or offices. It would, for example, be ideal as a design or creative studio or architect’s offices.

The ground floor comprises the original shop front, a smaller rear room, and a spectacular rear loft room with double glazed doors that open onto the courtyard garden. All three rooms are connected by doorways with a direct line of sight from the shop front to the rear of the building. There’s also a disabled access WC and a hall storage cupboard on this floor. The loft room is double height and has open stairs that lead up to an upper mezzanine floor.

The first and second floors of the period building each comprise a single open plan room with two large sash windows and a WC/bathroom. The second floor of the rear extension is a mezzanine floor with a Juliet balcony overlooking the courtyard.

Outside, the charming landscaped courtyard is fenced, with a gate to the parking space. The property has rear access via Arden Mews.

A WORD FROM THE EXPERT...

"For me it’s the sheer variety you find in each pocket of Walthamstow that makes working and socialising here so enjoyable.

Whether it’s having a coffee from Perky Blenders, going for a Sunday morning walk in Epping Forest, dropping into one of the local breweries in Blackhorse Road, or catching up with friends in Lloyd Park, the growth and positive changes within E17 have been incredible in recent years."
