IF YOU LIVED HERE…

If you don’t already know this thriving part of E17, you’ll quickly come to understand why it draws visitors from across the capital. There’s brilliant sense of community, an abundance of green space and an array of creative businesses giving the area a dynamic air.

At home, your kitchen/lounge/diner has been thoughtfully decorated with a soft palette, highlighted by the abundance of natural light. In the kitchen area, the units are pristine and the appliances hi-tech, so entertaining will be lots of fun (and you’ll be keen to show off your new location).

The balcony will be a fantastic extension of your living space - and the perfect spot to relax with a drink on clear days. The bedrooms have the same immaculate decor as the rest of the apartment - and the master even has its own sleek ensuite. The main bathroom is just as modern with stylish fittings, while the spacious hallway benefits from built-in storage.

Outside, you’ll find that there’s an abundance of green space in the area; the fantastic Walthamstow Wetland is only a short stroll away, while Lloyd Park - home to the William Morris Gallery - is just a bit further in the other direction. As for food and drink-based perks, SlowBurn, which was recently named one of the Guardian’s essential restaurants to ‘try right now’, is three minutes on foot, while the UK’s first dedicated brandy house, Burnt Faith, is on your street. You’re also a short skip from the Blackhorse Beer Mile, home to some of East London's most exciting craft beer breweries, bars and street food, including Signature, Exale and Big Penny Social. Look out for the excellent events calendar at the latter.

As for mental and physical stimulation, the impressively designed bouldering studio Yonder is seven mins away. You’ll find a similar buzz at Blackhorse Workshop (also on Sutherland Road), where you can sign-up for great part-time courses - a great way to meet fellow residents.

A WORD FROM THE OWNER...

"We have loved living in Taylor House. Over the past seven years the area has become a destination spot with people coming from far and wide to enjoy the Wetlands Nature Reserve, the abundant brewery tap rooms and coffee shops, all with regular events ranging from vintage furniture sales to poetry and games evenings. That said, the area retains a relaxed community feel and warm welcomes are in abundance. Were it not for a hankering for the seaside and a change of circumstance, we'd happily stay and we'll keep a keen eye on future developments with regular visits to friends made here."
