Merton Road, Walthamstow, London, E17

Set on one of Walthamstow Village’s most coveted streets, this spectacular five-bedroom Victorian residence has been thoughtfully extended and meticulously modernised over the past seven years to over 2,100 sq. ft. of refined living space. Blending timeless period charm with bold architectural creativity, this home offers an exceptional lifestyle for families seeking both space and style in a prime East London location. As you step through the front door, you're welcomed by the character-rich entrance hall with beautifully restored original covings and painted floorboards—setting the tone for what lies ahead. Cleverly reconfigured, the hallway gives access to a spacious cloakroom, utility area, and the cellar below, offering fantastic storage solutions. The lounge immediately impresses with its unusually generous width—rare for Victorian homes—and a warm herringbone floor that runs underfoot. A contemporary, eco-friendly multi-fuel stove adds a cosy focal point, perfect for curling up on winter evenings. At the heart of the home is a breathtaking 280 sq. ft. kitchen, designed in collaboration with local design talent, Heidi Wakefield of PROP Architects. This is indoor-outdoor living at its finest: soaring ceilings, oversized skylights, and dramatic floor-to-ceiling glazing bathe the space in natural light. The floor-to-ceiling pivot door and bespoke oriel bay window create a fluid connection to the garden, making this a dream setting for both everyday family life and memorable entertaining. Design highlights include exposed beams, handcrafted ‘Milk’ cabinetry, micro-cement worktops, and the continuation of the herringbone flooring throughout. Upstairs, the first-floor hosts three spacious double bedrooms, a stylish fourth bedroom currently used as a home office, and a sleek family shower room. Natural light floods the landing via a large roof light, enhancing the home's airy, uplifting feel. The crowning glory is the stunning 380 sq. ft. master suite, occupying the top floor. Designed to feel like an original part of the home, this luxurious space is a true sanctuary. The accompanying bathroom is a striking blend of geometric tiles and rich ‘Mambo’ blue walls—a ‘Moroccan-Brutalist mashup’ that creates a bold yet calming retreat. Bespoke built-in storage adds elegance and function to every corner. Outside, the 50 ft. garden is a sun-soaked haven with a reclaimed brick patio, a mature cherry tree that blossoms beautifully each year, and colourful planting that ensures visual interest all year round. The Venetian-style fencing offers both privacy and polish, rounding off this idyllic outdoor space.

Perfectly located in Walthamstow Village, you’re just minutes from the buzzing delights of Orford Road with its independent shops, celebrated pubs like The Queens, and outstanding dining at Ruffs. A short stroll brings you to Walthamstow Central Station (Victoria line & Overground), connecting you to Liverpool Street in under 15 minutes. And with Epping Forest, top-rated schools, and a strong sense of community on your doorstep, this is an ideal forever home for growing families who want it all—space, style, and soul.
