Clapton's sought-after Elderfield Road is the setting for this handsome four-bedroom house. Thoughtfully renovated by its current owner, it comprises a series of generous, flowing spaces that are at once contemporary and in keeping with the home's Victorian origins. A light-filled extension at the rear dissolves the boundary between indoors and out, bringing the varied shades of green from the southwest-facing garden into the living spaces. The house is a short walk from Hackney Downs and Clapton's much-loved cafés, bars and restaurants.
