Townhouse in quiet neighborhood in Hackney/Islington

Our home was built in 1854 and is a classical 3-floor Victorian London townhouse, which has been fully modernised over the 14 years we have lived here.

The ground floor is open plan with a large kitchen, dining room and living room (as well as a laundry area and toilet). The kitchen is equipped with a gas+induction hob, 3 ovens, microwave, dishwasher, various gadgets etc etc and has large sliding doors onto garden.

The garden is generously–sized (well, for London) with large patio area with tables and chairs, sunbeds and BBQ.

On the top floor of the house are a full bathroom (bath+shower), a master bedroom (king-size bed) and a single bedroom. On the middle level are a shower-room and two bedrooms (one with a single one with a small double).

There is an additional living room on the middle level in which there is a daybed which folds out into a queen sized double (comfortable: proper sprung mattress).

The house has all appointments/sound/TV/wi-fi etc.
There are lots of toys, puzzles, craft supplies about.
