A home in a medieval house, believed to be the oldest home in London, has been rented out just over a week after it was listed.

The 600-year-old timber-framed home is in Walthamstow Village near the popular Orford Road.

It was up for rent for £2,200 per month after the previous tenant, who had lived there for many years, decided to buy their own property.

Ancient House, as the building is now known, is said to have been built in the middle ages around 1435 during the reign of Henry VI, while England was embroiled in the Hundred Years’ War.

At the time Walthamstow was a small village outside London in what was then the Essex countryside and it only became part of the capital several centuries later.

The Grade II*-listed house, known as a hall house because it was originally built around a central hall, was restored in 1934 and then again in the early Noughties.

Another Tudor property which purports to be the one of the oldest home’s in London is 41-42 Cloth Fair in Farringdon.

It was built much later than Ancient House, between 1597 and 1614, and was the only house in the City of London that survived the Great Fire of London in 1666.

How old is the ancient house Walthamstow?

How Old is Walthamstow's Ancient House? Nikolaus Pevsner describes it rather aptly as a 'cherished relic of a rural past'. It's a timber-framed hall house and dates from the 15th century. More specifically, its estimated to have been first built in 1435.
