Huge and beautiful Victorian family home
Our double-fronted Victorian house is a large family home complete with two cats. It is perfectly placed on a quiet tree lined road midway between Dalston Junction with its buzzing bars, restaurants, theatres, clubs, and bus and tube train transport links, and London Fields with the beautiful open-air Lido, green space, Broadway Market and canal all within a few minutes walk.<br /><br /><b>The space</b><br />Our lovely detached Victorian house was built in the 1860's. We bought it as a wreck and have been slowly restoring it over the last 10 years. We rent it out to fund our own travels and do ask anyone staying to take on feeding our two cats.

Hackney is a fantastic area, full of life - we've lived here for 30 years, through many changes and still love it. We are  a short walk in one direction from Dalston with it's Curve garden, Cafe Otto Jazz club, the Arcola theatre, Allpress coffee roastery and cafe and many bars, clubs and restaurants. Our closest cafe is Violet's (who made the royals wedding cake!). The other directions take you to London Fields with it's 1930's lido and green space, to Broadway Market with it's amazing Saturday market and all week restaurants, bookshops and bars, East takes you to Mare Street with the legendary Hackney Empire and the Hackney Picturehouse in easy reach.
I and my family are lucky enough to own a house in Hackney and a cottage in Suffolk.  I work as a lecturer at a London University, love living in the diversity of Hackney and escaping to Saxmundham to read, raid the charity shops, go walking by the sea and generally unwind. We let out our homes to help us go travelling and generally make ends meet.
