BRICKWORKS SAYS
Located on a much-loved street, this attractive four-bedroom family home is pleasingly placed between three great north London neighbourhoods: Stoke Newington, Dalston and Newington Green.
On the ground floor, a bay window brings light into the front reception room, complete with a wood-burning stove. At the back, the secluded south-facing garden beckons via bi-folding doors – a verdant sun trap with decking created for entertaining, a pergola and mature planting.
Three double bedrooms and an extra single, plus a good-sized bathroom and separate WC, complete the upper floor, which has been finished with a palette of delicate pastels, subtly linking one room to the next. Plenty of in-built storage (as well as a cellar) makes this home functional, too.
Belgrade Road leads to Butterfield Green at one end and Stoke Newington High Street at the other. With such a central position, there is a seemingly endless list of excellent food and drink options within easy reach. A local, low-traffic cycling network connects you to central London in less than 15 minutes. And there are also various public transport options, including both Dalston’s London Overground stations which are 10 (or so) minutes away on foot.
THE OWNER SAYS
My favourite part of our house is the open-plan kitchen-diner overlooking the beautiful garden. It is very peaceful and sunny. In the winter, we enjoy getting cosy by the wood burner in the living room.
The local area is full of fantastic options, too. Bodega does a great coffee, and Luminary Bakery’s cinnamon buns are a tasty treat from nearby Allen Road.

1 Ruby’s
A retro cinema sign above the entrance sets the scene for this cosy underground cocktail bar and lounge. Exposed brickwork and soft lighting create a perfect setting for date night, the martinis are all excellent and the Manhattan is a true classic.
2 Oren
Opened in October 2019, chef Oded Oren serves up Mediterranean and Middle-Eastern inspired small-plates & pillowy pittas within the unassuming form of a neighbourhood restaurant. The food is incredible.
3 Rio Cinema
This independent “art deco picture palace” has a storied history, but its real appeal is arthouse and family-friendly fare in a rare and wonderful setting. Come for the film, stay for the new whisky bar, situated conveniently next to Screen 2.
4 Melo
As you would expect, Melo serves excellent coffee (Allpress beans), but that is only the hook to get you inside. What keeps you coming back are their seriously delicious plates, tempting toasties and a smorgasbord of–– frankly––irresistible sweet treats. With a focus on locally sourced ingredients, including vegan and gluten-free options, this place is a gem.
5 Brunswick East
This Aussie-run cafe has an inventive, delicious brunch menu. Doors open at 8 a.m., so you can grab a coffee and a tasty Dusty Knuckle Bakery pastry on the way to work, but food is served all day long.
