3 rooms house of 235 m² in London

Tucked behind an unassuming shopfront at the Northern tip of Brick Lane is this unique three/four-bedroom Victorian home. Unfolding across five storeys, the internal plan has been creatively reimagined to create a set of voluminous living spaces filled with exceptional natural light, owing to the vast floor to ceiling aluminium-framed windows which open onto three private terraces. Brick Lane is a popular area in East London, bordering Shoreditch and Spitalfields and close to the lively areas of Spitalfields, London Fields and Stoke Newington with their widely celebrated restaurant scene and diverse array of independent shops. The house is concealed behind a striking black shopfront. Above, traditional stock brick and concrete is punctuated by large aluminium-framed windows. The entrance is from the street, which leads directly into a long hallway with a large storage area to the left. There are three well-proportioned double bedrooms and two bathrooms over the ground and lower ground floors. The floors are a mix of either smart grey carpet, or wooden herringbone flooring giving each room a sense of distinction. The main bedroom provides further bespoke joinery for storage with an adjacent ensuite, additionally a main bathroom and utility room complete the ground and lower ground floors. The kitchen/dining room sits on the first floor, with rich dark cabinetry and plenty of cleverly placed units for easily accessible storage. Herringbone flooring runs the length of the room, adding a sense of extension and flow, with vast glazing to both the front and rear of this impressive space with direct access from the dining area leading to the first private terrace. Additionally, a smart W.C is located on the first floor. Upstairs, the second floor hosts the main reception covering the entire floor plate, with whitewashed brick walls, floor to ceiling windows, double height ceiling to upper mezzanine (third floor) herringbone flooring and an additional private terrace to the rear. The mezzanine (third floor) has been conceived as a separate snug/office with built-in bookcases and storage. Double french doors lead directly onto a decked roof terrace, adding a sense of expanse to the room with views across the rooftops and East London skyline beyond.The house is positioned on a quiet part of Brick Lane sitting north of Bethnal Green Road, and in the immediate area contains some of London’s best bars, restaurants and independent retailers, including Leila’s Shop, Rochelle Canteen, and Blue Mountain School and remains a magnet for creative businesses.
