A WORD FROM THE OWNER...

"We've lived here now for 5 years, initially renting the property before purchasing from the previous owners. We love the area and feel it's the perfect balance of quieter city living whilst being a short walk to excellent transport links as well as things to see and do. We often walk 10 minutes to the Olympic Park and love spending our weekends down at the bustling Hackney Wick, soaking up the atmosphere and discovering places to eat and drink. We love Barge East for summer drinks in the garden or their excellent "trio" roast dinner on a Sunday - we even had our wedding reception on the barge! We're also only a 15 minute walk or a short bus ride to Westfield Stratford City. Having the garden has been amazing throughout our time here. It's green, quiet and private. We love sitting out on the decking in the morning with a coffee and listening to the birds. There's a lovely community feel to the street, with lots of families and annual events. This was our ideal first home, with great commuting options into the city and equally great access to green spaces like Epping Forest. It's only an hour on the fast train too to get to the coast! We recommend this area to all of our friends looking for somewhere to live in London. Those from outside London, including the family, love paying us a visit!"
