An elegant Grade II listed Georgian townhouse arranged over four floors, this 3-bedroom home blends period detail with contemporary living across approximately 1,670–1,742 sq ft (including storage). High ceilings, original fireplaces, exposed floorboards and operational shutters preserve character, while the kitchen’s herringbone floor, underfloor heating and island with quartz worktops provide modern convenience. The east-facing, recently landscaped courtyard is private and low-maintenance — ideal for morning coffee.
Accommodation is versatile: two reception rooms at street level, a generous kitchen/dining level with French doors to vault storage, and a top-floor principal bedroom beneath a vaulted ceiling and Velux windows. Practical extras include a utility/store room, guest cloakroom, under-street vault storage and three bathrooms — useful for family life or multi-occupancy. Excellent transport links (Whitechapel and Aldgate East nearby) and a wide choice of eateries and markets add strong lifestyle appeal.
Important practical points: listed status will restrict alterations and could complicate future works or extensions. Previously granted planning to convert the under-street vault has lapsed and would need reapplication. The plot is small, council tax is above average, and the local area shows signs of deprivation despite being a vibrant, inner-city neighbourhood. These factors affect running costs and refurbishment flexibility.
This freehold property will suit a buyer seeking a character-filled family home or an owner-occupier investor wanting central location and strong rental/tourism demand, prepared to manage listed-building constraints and occasional maintenance associated with period homes.
