What the owners say:

"After over 10 years living in Hackney, we chose Deptford as the place to buy our first home. The area has a huge amount to offer with excellent restaurants, markets and some of our favourite pubs in London. We have poured a lot of love and energy into transforming the property into our home and whilst our expanding family has sadly meant upsizing to a new home, we hope the new owner will be just as happy as we have been here."
