Spacious two-bed duplex with parking, rooftop garden and exceptional lease in Bethnal Green.
Approximately 1,090 sq ft duplex with double-height living room
Set across two levels in one of East London’s earliest Victorian school conversions, this 2-bedroom duplex delivers dramatic volume and period character. Double-height glazing and exposed brick create a striking, light-filled living room, while a mezzanine-level kitchen/diner adds architectural interest and practical entertaining space.
Practical benefits include a rare gated allocated parking space, share of freehold, an exceptionally long lease (circa 957 years) and access to a communal rooftop garden with city views. At roughly 1,090 sq ft, the apartment offers unusually generous proportions for Bethnal Green and sits equidistant between Bethnal Green and Mile End stations.
Be realistic about the finish and context: the building’s solid-brick construction likely lacks wall insulation, and some buyers may want to upgrade heating, glazing or internal finishes to suit contemporary expectations. The neighbourhood is a vibrant, multicultural inner-city area with fast broadband and excellent transport, but it scores as deprived locally and has average crime statistics.
This home will suit buyers seeking a character-filled, spacious central London pied-à-terre or long-term family base who value volume, parking and outside space. Investors should note strong rental demand nearby, but budget for potential improvement works to maximise returns.
