A word from the owner...

"I loved the flat from the moment I walked in to rent it, and within a few months I had the opportunity to buy it. I loved both the buzzy central location and the quiet and peaceful setting and view at the back. I enjoyed having the separate kitchen, the large lounge extending into the garden that meant no neighbouring walls. I made the most of the large but very secluded garden. Friends would come around to lounge and have a drink and it was a joy working from home having so much light and greenery. When I put it on the rental market I had no trouble finding tenants as everybody always loved the vibe. My current tenants have call this flat their home for 10 years. The majority of the other flats in the building have been with the same owners 20+ years. Everybody just seem to love staying put at 94 Dalston Lane."
