This is a truly lovely home, in a peaceful, family-friendly neighbourhood. Your host has successfully tackled inevitably grey London winters by building the beautiful ground floor extension which allows as much light and height into the living space as possible. The kitchen and dining area now has an all-glass vaulted ceiling, with idyllic views into the private garden. While you will have to travel a little to reach central parts of the city, we think this is a perfect bolthole for a travelling family and the surrounding area has lots of great cafes and restaurants to explore.

Local guide
About Stoke Newington
Stoke Newington (or 'Stokey' as it is affectionately called by its residents) is a very popular village-like part of town wedged between Finsbury Park, Islington and Dalston. You'll mainly be rubbing shoulders with young artsy families, who are attracted to the area by its distinctive community atmosphere, period townhouses, and great array of independent shops, cafes, and restaurants - we're pretty confident you won't be short of great brunch and coffee stop-offs in this area.
