2 bed flat for sale

Harrington Hill, London E5

*open day viewings: 1100 to 1500 on Saturday’s 21st & 28th February*

Situated upon Walthamstow Marshes, this 1920s apartment offers the rare appeal of expansive green spaces with rapid connection to central London.

The Property: Retaining its pre-WW2 character, the flat has been maintained to celebrate its heritage with exposed brick and open fireplaces. Sliding doors between the living room and the second bedroom give the opportunity to open up the living space. South facing windows provide natural light for much of the day. This apartment block was purpose-built; Mediterranean-inspired architecture offers courtyard style shared central outdoor walkways.

Recently renovated back garden with a designated secure storage shed for bicycles or other household items. The external with balcony steels are due to be re-decorated in coming months. Recently soundproofed floors contribute to improved privacy. With an EPC rating of C, the property is well insulated and energy efficient with a reliable combi boiler and water meter fitted.

The Location: Proximity to Walthamstow Marshes - known for decades as one of the “London Lungs”. This is a 36 square mile area of protected wetlands with wildlife and walking trails along the river Lea. The Anchor and Hope on Harrington Hill is a popular local pub, especially in summer months and regularly hosts music events.

Despite the green surrounds of the Marshes, the apartment is well-placed for a city commute with Liverpool Street around 25 minutes away on the Weaver Line from nearby Clapton Station. Shops and restaurants of Stoke Newington are an easy walk away, while Victoria Park and Tottenham are both within cycling distance along the river. Other local amenities include a convenience store with Tesco, Co-op, Post Office and other pubs and restaurants a short walk away. The 393 and 253/4 buses offer efficient routes into Islington, Camden, and central London.
