A WORD FROM THE OWNER...

"We have loved our time on Arkley Road. There is a great community feeling on both the road and in Walthamstow. We have benefited from having great bakeries and coffee on our door step. Location has been key from being in Liverpool street within minutes or walking down the canal within 20 minutes. We will definitely miss this lovely flat on Arkley road."
