2 bed flat for sale

Glenthorne Road, Walthamstow E17

This smartly laid-out ground-floor apartment set in a Victorian building in Walthamstow’s desirable Markhouse Corner comes with two bedrooms and 553 sq ft of well-used space as well as a cellar and a sunny, private garden. It offers a great mix of comfort and flexibility—ideal whether you're working from home, hosting friends, or just enjoying your own space. Thoughtfully finished and beautifully kept, it’s also brilliantly located—just a short stroll from St James Street Overground (Weaver Line) or a bit further away, Blackhorse Road (Victoria Line) for a quick dash into the city. If you're craving a breath of fresh air or a bit of wildlife watching, you’re within walking distance of the Walthamstow Wetlands, too. It really does offer the best of both worlds: Urban convenience with nature right on your doorstep.

If you lived here...

Sheltered beneath a striking Victorian arch, your own front door offers a little cover on rainy days—just enough time to find your keys without the rush. Inside, the reception stretches the full width of the flat. A generous bay window, fitted with crisp white shutters, frames the space while wooden floorboards run throughout, tying each room together with warmth and continuity.

The main bedroom is a calm retreat, well-proportioned and complete with a mirrored built-in wardrobe. Its window is perfectly placed to catch the soft light of the morning, making it as welcoming at the start of the day as it is restful at night. The second bedroom has its own bright charm, with garden views and extra glazed panes that draw in borrowed light from the internal corridor—an unexpected and thoughtful detail.

Further along the hall, the kitchen feels fresh and modern. White cabinetry is paired with thick wooden worktops and open shelving for character, while integrated appliances keep everything neatly in place. A glazed door brings in natural brightness and opens directly to your private slice of garden.

The bathroom is simple and clean-lined, finished in fresh white with a classic suite. A bath with overhead shower offers the choice of an unhurried soak or a quick start to the day.

Outdoors, the garden is a welcome surprise—stretching over 24 feet and south-facing to catch the best of the daylight. A mix of lawn and gravelled side return keeps it both practical and green, while a raised bed and a mature tree add texture and shade. It’s the kind of space that easily adapts—quiet mornings with a coffee, or relaxed afternoons with friends.

Below, the cellar provides a well-lit, practical storage area, currently home to the washing machine, with plenty of extra room to spare.

A word from the expert...

"I love living in Walthamstow – it’s got such a great mix of things going on. Saturdays are my favourite, with the market in Lloyd Park full of fresh food, handmade bits, and plenty of friendly faces. The new Soho Theatre has brought amazing shows right to our doorstep, and if I fancy a pint, the Blackhorse Beer Mile breweries are perfect for a wander. When I need some fresh air, the Walthamstow Wetlands are just a short stroll away – all that greenery makes you completely forget you’re in London. Plus, with brilliant transport links, it’s so easy to hop on the Tube or Overground and be in Central London in no time at all."
