AFFORDABLE HOMES
TEXTILE E17 – BE PART OF WALTHAMSTOW’S RICH TAPESTRY
Textile is a new collection of 72 one and two bedroom Shared Ownership homes forming part of the larger Patchworks development on Forest Road in Walthamstow.The development sits on the site of the former Homebase store and is being delivered by Newlon Living in partnership with Countryside (part of the Vistry group)
The name Textile reflects Walthamstow’s heritage, echoing the craftsmanship of the Patchworks development and the creative spirit of William Morris, whose influence remains evident in this culturally rich area. It’s a fitting name for a neighbourhood where history and innovation sit comfortably together. Textile is approximately 15 minutes’ walk from Wood Street station (London Overground) with direct services to Liverpool Street. Bus routes also connect to Walthamstow Central and Blackhorse Road stations on the Victoria Line, putting you around 20 minutes from the West End. Walthamstow Village, around 20 minutes’ walk from Textile, has developed a reputation for independent shops, cafes and restaurants, particularly along Orford Road. This area also boasts Walthamstow Market, which runs daily along Walthamstow High Street as Europe’s longest street market, offering fresh produce, household goods and clothing. The William Morris Gallery is a short distance away, housed in the former home of the Victorian designer in a Grade II listed Georgian building. The gallery hosts regular exhibitions focusing on Morris’s work in design, textiles and social reform, with free admission. Lloyd Park surrounds the William Morris Gallery and offers tennis courts, a cafe and children’s play areas. For a more substantial outdoor experience, the Walthamstow Wetlands, Europe’s largest urban wetland nature reserve, provides 200 acres of walking and cycling trails. For woodland trails, Epping Forest is accessible by public transport for weekend walks and cycling. Food and drink options have flourished in Walthamstow.Wood Street has become particularly lively, with independent cafes, brunch spots and evening venues drawing locals and visitors alike. Traditional East End pubs sit comfortably alongside gastropubs and cocktail bars, while Italian, Turkish, Indian and modern European
restaurants offer plenty of choice. Local microbreweries and coffee roasters add to the neighbourhood’s character. For those wanting access to larger shopping and leisure facilities, Stratford’s Westfield shopping centre and the Olympic Park are within reach by public transport. The apartments at Textile are designed as modern living spaces with open-plan kitchen and living areas. Kitchens come with integrated appliances including oven, hob and extractor, fridge-freezer, dishwasher and washing machine.These homes are built across two blocks within the wider Patchworks development, which is made up of 583 homes in total. Completion of the Shared Ownership homes is scheduled for the summer of 2027 and spring of 2028. For those considering a move to Walthamstow, registering your interest early means you’ll be kept informed as the development progresses and can plan ahead.
