A well-connected address: Help to Buy flats for sale next to Walthamstow Tube — with fast trains and free Zip Car pass

E17's makeover continues apace and there are smart new homes for the taking.
David Spittles21 August 2018

The spotlight continues to shine on well-connected Walthamstow in Zone 3, with 20-minute trains to the City and also on the Tube.

For many years this good-value east London area was associated with the bottom rung of the property ladder.

But steady improvements, including a town centre facelift, new cafés, late bars and a farmers’ market are encouraging people to settle.

Artists priced out of inner east London are also moving in. One of the area’s highlights is the William Morris Gallery, historic home of the influential Victorian designer and poet.

Walthamstow has a history of crafts and manufacturing and a new “people’s workshop” in Blackhorse Lane aims to encourage more locals to learn skills such as furniture making.

Walthamstow Gateway, a new scheme of 79 flats, is next to the Victoria line Tube station, which has been given a makeover.

Interiors are kitted out with Leicht kitchens and oak flooring. Buyers also get a two-year Zip Car membership. Prices start from £385,000, with Help to Buy available. Call Strettons on 0208 509 4425.

From £429,995: flats set around a courtyard at the Essex Brewery (020 3427 1603)

Up the road, the former Essex Brewery has been swallowed by 158 new flats priced from £429,995. Call Crest Nicholson on 020 3437 1603.

For well-priced Walthamstow period housing, check out the Warner Estate and listed cottages under £600,000 around St Mary’s Church.
