A stunning and rarely available four storey freehold Victorian four bedroom townhouse set within a quiet conservation area of unique properties a short walk from the City. Built in the 1880’s for a Dutch textile company, the house retains most of its period features including seven fireplaces and original floorboards throughout. Laid out over four floors, all above ground level, it has generously proportioned rooms with gloriously high ceilings and generously sized sash windows, comprising in excess of 1700 square feet of living space.
The ground floor includes a welcoming and elegant reception room with gas fire and shuttered windows, a period-inspired eat-in kitchen and good sized utilities room situated near by. The kitchen has French doors, which lead into the secluded mature south facing walled garden replete with numerous well established flowering plants.
The original and graceful staircase, then leads to the first floor, which consists of a guest cloakroom and stairs to two well-proportioned double bedrooms, each with original fireplaces and cupboards. One of the bedrooms is currently used as a second reception room and library.
The second floor comprises another spacious double bedroom, with a hand painted floor, and spacious family bathroom, each again with original fireplaces and other period features.
Finally, the top floor consists of a single expansive room, spanning the entire house, with a vaulted ceiling in excess of 20 feet in height, two fireplaces and brilliant natural lighting. This is currently used as an artist’s studio.
In addition to the current ample living space, there is potential to extend the house above the utilities room, as others have already done in neighbouring properties.
Locally there are two historic garden squares in very close proximity, one of which has a children’s play area, as well as Stepney Green Park and the lovely Stepping Stones City Farm with organic Saturday market and award winning café.
Located in Whitechapel, currently London’s hotspot for property investment and development, and adjacent to the City, Liverpool Street main line station, and fashionable Spitalfields and Shoreditch, the house is situated only 5 minutes walk from Whitechapel tube station, and forthcoming Crossrail station. Transport links from Whitechapel are excellent, either by underground or overground train, DLR, mainline station, road and also City and Stanstead airports. This is the perfect historic townhouse for discerning city dwellers.
