Welcome to our family home on a quiet residential street in Hackney. Here you'll find everything you need for a really comfy, relaxing stay in London: a well-stocked, modern kitchen; toys and games a-plenty for a range of ages, plus books galore; ample stylish living, dining and entertaining space; a big-for-London garden that's glorious in summer. The four double bedrooms would be perfect for one or two families of four.<br /><br /><b>The space</b><br />The house is arranged over four floors. Downstairs there's plenty of living space: a beautiful, comfy living room and a separate area with piano and work-space. The kitchen kitchen table is extendable and can seat 8-10 people. The garden is glorious in summer, with a large lounger, firepit, a patio for outdoor dining and a green lawn for games. <br /><br />The two bedrooms on the first floor each have a pull-out mattress underneath the single bed. Up a floor is the master bedroom, with a huge super-king. The fourth bedroom is a cool ha
Hackney is a wonderful, vibrant area just east of the centre of London, and Clapton is a great corner of Hackney. Chatsworth Road, at the end of our street, is jam-packed with good cafes and boutique stores as well as useful grocery shops and delis. It also hosts a delicious world street food market on Sundays. There are some lovely pubs nearby and Lower Clapton Road is dotted with excellent local restaurants.<br />A few minutes walk further West brings you to London Fields park with its olympic sized lido, perfect pubs and Saturday's Broadway Market. Dalston and Shoreditch, two hip areas for nightlife, are a brief bus or cycle ride away. Hackney Marshes and wetlands are a vast expanse of green just down the road, which connect to Queen Elizabeth Olympic park and all its sports facilities.
We are a German-English couple with two children aged 13 and 9. My husband is a data scientist and I teach dance and forest school locally. We absolutely love living in this part of Hackney - the only problem is that we rarely manage to get out of town. A good Saturday consists of a swim in London Fields Lido while my son plays football in the park, followed by a perfect flat white in a local cafe, buying lunch from a nearby farmers' market, and ending up at The Elderfield pub around the corner from us. As a family we are into films, musicals, gooning around in parks, baking, board games, community happenings and craft beer!
