Situated in an increasingly popular corner of E17, this bright and cheery presented one-bedroom apartment occupies the ground floor of a low-rise, purpose-built post-war development. There’s a mid-century feel to the architecture, while inside you’ll find smart, contemporary interiors, a generous living space, well-equipped kitchen and plenty of useful storage. The location is equally impressive, with the brilliantly eclectic Wood Street on your doorstep and Walthamstow Village just a short stroll away. Transport links are excellent too, with Wood Street station within easy walking distance. IF YOU LIVED HERE… There’s a lovely sense of ease to this home, with its generous proportions, smart decor and a smart ground-floor layout. The retro feel of the purpose-built building gives the apartment a touch of mid-century character, while the interior has been brought right up to date. Your spacious living room is the heart of the apartment, with plenty of space for both lounging and dining. It’s a bright, comfortable room with a considered neutral scheme, while the separate kitchen has been designed with practicality in mind, offering plenty of storage, stylish units and high spec appliances. The bedroom is another generous space, with enough room for a double bed and additional furniture, while the bathroom is modern and well presented, with an over-tub shower, while the hallway provides some particularly useful built-in storage, helping keep the living spaces clutter-free. And then there’s the location. Being on Wood Street means you’ve got an eclectic collection of independent businesses practically on your doorstep, from the award-winning Chocolatine bakery to the Wood Street Bear bar. Just a little further along, Ravenswood Industrial Estate is home to some of the area’s more creative gems, including God’s Own Junkyard, Pillars and Mother’s Ruin. Closer still, Lacy Nook is a brilliant option for Balkan-inspired food, while The Lambs Cafe is ideal when you’re after a hearty full English or Greek breakfast. In the other direction, Walthamstow Village is packed with independent shops, restaurants and pubs, as well as plenty of history and character. If you need to escape further afield, Wood Street station is only a few minutes away on foot, putting Liverpool Street around 20 minutes away on the Weaver Overground, with the option to change at Walthamstow Central for the Victoria line. WHAT ELSE? - Head to Walthamstow Central for Europe’s longest market which runs along Walthamstow High Street, the nine-screen Forest cinema and the convenient chains found in the 17¢ral shopping centre. - Your new local is the Lord Raglan, a traditional boozer with a sun trap garden and a great selection of drinks. - Despite being in such a cosmopolitan hub, you’re surrounded by excellent green space, including Lloyd Park, which houses the William Morris Gallery, Fellowship Square, with its impressive fountains, and Hollow Ponds, at the cusp of Epping Forest.
