Maynard Road, Walthamstow

A bright and spacious two-bedroom cottage, full of Victorian charm and enviably located on a lovely street right in the heart of Walthamstow Village.

Despite the peaceful surroundings, there’s a huge array of independent restaurants, bars and gastropubs nearby, while Walthamstow Central station is less than ten minutes away on foot, so you can be in the West End or City in just over 30 minutes door to door if you time it right.

IF YOU LIVED HERE…

Your whole home is full of vintage-style charm, with light spilling in from the generous windows to highlight the features, such as the rich parquet flooring, striking fire surrounds, sash windows and timeless decor. The dine-in kitchen is bright and airy thanks to the large sky light, with splashes of character provided by the quarry tiled flooring, retro-style oven and feature wall. You can enjoy a similar rustic vibe in the rear garden, with its brilliant array of foliage and charming cobbles. The downstairs bathroom is smart and modern, with a walk-in shower and chrome fittings, while upstairs you’ll find two sizeable bedrooms. The front garden has been beautifully landscaped, with more greenery on show. For even more nature, head ten minutes south-east and you’ll be at the sprawling Hollow Ponds, at the cusp of Epping Forest. It’s a fantastic spot for a dog walk, or you can even hire a rowing boat there during summer months. In the other direction, Walthamstow Village is packed with ancient history (which is how it gets its official ‘village’ status - it’s not just a quaint, self-appointed title), as well as an eclectic mix of independent shops, cafes, restaurants, pubs and stores. Grab a coffee and sit in the square and enjoy the gentle hustle and bustle of the neighbourhood. While Orford Road is the main hub, you’ll find the wider area potted with brilliant amenities, such as authentic sushi takeaway Ohba Leaf Kitchen, the lively and down-to-earth Made in Portugal cafe, and the ultra-friendly Castle gastro-pub (which was voted runner-up for best Sunday lunch by The Observer) - they’re all within a few minutes on foot. You’re also only a couple of minutes on foot from the Ravenswood Industrial Estate, which is home to the ever-popular God’s Own Junkyard, as well as breweries Wildcard Brewery Tap, Pillars Brewery, Trap, plus gin palace Mother’s Ruin. There’s so much to enjoy, the only struggling will be fitting it all in, but luckily you’ll have plenty of time since this is a home to lay down roots in.

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."
