* Leasehold
Located on a quiet side street in Shoreditch is this former Victorian parcel
shop, which has been artfully converted by the current owner. The apartment is
characterised by its clean lines, Crittall - style glazing and thoughtful
design. Arranged over two floors and with a private walled garden, it is
within easy walking distance of some of London’s most sought - after hotspots,
including Columbia Road Flower Market, Brick Lane, Shoreditch High Street &
Broadway Market.
The Tour
The apartment is situated at the end of a terrace with its own entrance
quietly tucked away on a side street. A gate, greened with trailing ivy, leads
straight into a tranquil garden space at the front of the apartment.
Entry is via a series of floor - to - ceiling Crittall - style doors that draw in
light from the east - facing garden, illuminating the flexible and wonderfully
private interior spaces on the ground floor. The apartment has been
comprehensively renovated by its current owner, who has also incorporated a
large skylight to accentuate the excellent levels of natural light. Clean,
contemporary materials create a sense of tranquillity and flow throughout. The
kitchen and living areas are largely open - plan and have been beautifully
arranged for relaxed dining and entertaining. Warming tones of walnut
panelling adorn one wall adding depth and texture to the palette and acting as
sound insulation. In the kitchen, smart stainless steel units are topped with
quartz and harmonise with bespoke walnut joinery. Poured resin flooring,
equipped with underfloor heating, runs underfoot.
To the rear is a study drenched in westerly light care of a large window. A
plethora of built - in cabinetry provides plenty of storage. Lime - washed timber
flooring adds to an overall ambience of airiness and calm.
In the middle of the plan, located just off the hallway, is an elegant
bathroom accessed via a Crittall - style pocket sliding door set with fluted
glass. Carrara marble has been employed across the basin, walls and floors of
this room, and fittings are by Hansgrohe in a brushed - black chrome finish.
A bespoke staircase leads to the lower - ground floor, currently used as a
bedroom. The raw brushed steel balustrade has been finely crafted by a bespoke
metalwork company based in Greenwich. The owner’s desire to work with local
craftsmen can be seen across this home, and much of the joinery is hand - made,
including the bookcases, concealed storage, wardrobes and the aforementioned
staircase.
A polished concrete floor had been laid and comes with underfloor heating.
Outdoor Space
The courtyard garden is entered through a small wooden gate revealing a
tranquil oasis in the midst of a bustling city. The garden has been cultivated
from Columbia Road flower market over many years and is well - developed. The
garden’s brick - walled perimeter consists of bee - friendly climbing English
roses, Jasmine and Honeysuckle. Twisted Willow is used to dramatic effect,
while Chinese foxglove and Wild Rosemary add a burst of colour and scent.
The Area
The apartment is conveniently located by a wide and exciting mix of
restaurants, bars and galleries, including Lyle’s, Rochelle Canteen,
Shoreditch House, the Blue Mountain School and Victoria Miro Gallery. The
boutiques and cafes of Redchurch Street and Spitalfields are within 10
minutes’ walk. Columbia Road, with its famous flower market, is a short stroll
away.
There are plenty of transport links within walking distance. Dawson Street is
close to two Overground Stations, a five - minute walk from Hoxton Station, and
a 15 - minute to Shoreditch High Street Station; Old Street Underground Station
is a 17 - minute walk, running Northern Line services across the city.
