Bursting at the seams with character, this delightful home echoes the spirit of its surroundings. You'll find it in the East End of London, nestled in a leafy row of red-brick townhouses, each boasting vibrant entryways. Here, you're within walking distance of Shoreditch High Street, Broadway Market and Columbia Road. Visit the latter on Sunday mornings, when the street blooms in a flurry of flora and foliage for the weekly flower market. From the offset, this home certainly makes a statement. In true East London fashion, you're greeted at the door by a timeless blend of exposed brick walls, high ceilings and timber floors. Though dig a little deeper and unearth what can only be described as a treasure trove of relics. Each light-flooded room boasts an eclectic array of antique furniture while colourful artwork drapes cheerfully from the walls. With a cosy lounge and fully-equipped kitchen, the open-plan living space provides the perfect place to escape the city's hustle and bustle. Spend mornings gathered around the centrepiece dining table for breakfast before heading out to explore. We're particularly charmed by the vintage reception desk turned at-home bar. Come sunset, round off the day or indeed, kick-start the night with homemade cocktails on the outdoor terrace. Home truths: *This home is spread over two floors, with no internal lift *There are two flights of stairs in this home – the second isn't fenced so children will need to be supervised at all times *There is a sofa bed in the second bedroom, rather than a fixed bed *This is a lived-in home, so expect for some of the host's personal belongings to be present
