In a quiet street in Walthamstow, a truly extraordinary family home is causing a sensation, compelling passersby and drivers to stop and stare. This isn't just another Victorian property; it's a monumental piece of public art, now on the market for £1.3 million.
A Canvas For A Home
The four-bedroom semi-detached house boasts a breathtaking, full-scale mural that completely transforms its facade. Designed and painted by the current owner, artist and set designer Joanne Wilkinson, the piece depicts a vibrant and intricate explosion of pink and purple flowers, set against a striking black background.
"It's a real talking point," says Ms. Wilkinson. "We get people stopping their cars to take pictures all the time. It brings so much joy to the neighbourhood and puts a smile on people's faces."
More Than Just A Pretty Face
While the exterior is a show-stopper, the interior is equally impressive. The home spans over 1,700 sq ft and has been meticulously renovated to a high standard, seamlessly blending original period features with modern luxury.
Key features include:
- A stunning 32ft through-lounge with a stylish log burner.
- A vast, modern kitchen-diner that opens onto a serene, low-maintenance garden.
- Four generously sized double bedrooms, providing ample space for a family.
- A luxurious family bathroom and a convenient additional WC.
- Planning permission granted to add another bathroom and create an office/studio in the loft.
A Vibrant Village Location
Located on the highly sought-after Orford Road, the property is in the heart of Walthamstow's 'village' area. The new owners will be just a stone's throw from a delightful array of independent cafes, pubs, and restaurants, with Walthamstow Central station nearby for excellent transport links into central London.
This is a rare opportunity to own a home that is not only a beautiful and functional living space but also a celebrated local landmark and a genuine work of art.
