Thorpe Crescent

The kitchen is at the back of the first floor, and a door in it opens onto a wrought iron stair that goes down into the garden. The stair is covered in climbing hydrangea, and below it a central lawn is ringed with apple, quince and blossom trees, with honeysuckle and roses on the fences.

At the front, the living room and dining room look over the green that the 1925 terrace is arranged around, through steel-framed Crittall-style windows. The living room has a wood-burning stove; the dining room has a tiled fireplace from the 1920s and space for a long table.

The garden has a patio, a small pond, a wood store and a shed. A summerhouse with a sedum roof is used by the current owners as a studio. Lloyd Park, the William Morris Gallery and Walthamstow Wetlands are nearby, and Walthamstow Central is under twenty minutes to Liverpool Street.
