"Natural light pours in through floor-to ceiling Crittal doors at the rear, opening to a courtyard garden with a sculptural climbing frame conceived by landscape designer Adolfo Harrison."

Brilliantly located on Oldfield Road, a quiet residential street close to the centre of Stoke Newington, is this excellent four-bedroom house with private garden. It has been comprehensively rebuilt and extended by the current owners to a  light-maximising design by Coriander Buildings and now measures almost 1,600 sq ft internally.
