Imagine living in a warm, colourful home with a vaulted ceiling and huge, round roof windows. Natural light, warmth and sunshine floods in during the day and at night the lower half of each window is highlighted by tiny lights making them look like beautiful eyelashes. This style of living is usually reserved for those living in bungalows or rooftop apartments, so we are delighted to have this in our very home.

We moved our living and dining areas upstairs into the warmth and light two years ago when we renovated our Victorian terraced house to make it eco friendly, warm and beautiful. The result is fantastic and we are so happy to live here now.

Our sleeping quarters were flipped downstairs at the same time to make darker, cosy bedrooms more conducive to sleeping. There is a master bedroom with an ensuite toilet, and a second bedroom for 2 children max with a secret fold-down bed. Also downstairs is a family bathroom and a washer/dryer.

Size really doesn’t matter with our home as we have packed a large amount into a small space and made storage space out of every nook and cranny - including some little drawers built into our stairs.

We live on a quiet street in a cul-de-sac just moments from a family gastropub and minutes from the centre of much-loved Walthamstow village with a small parade of shops to explore.

Free parking is just outside on the street. For those on foot; Walthamstow Central station is 15 mins’ walk for the tube into the centre of London (15 mins) or the train will take you to Liverpool Street or Kings Cross in the same amount of time. Leafy ancient woodland is 15 mins’ walk the other way, for dog walks or bike rides with the kids.
