Turner Street, Whitechapel, London, E1

This three-four bedroom, three-bathroom family home originally dates back to the early 1800s, over a period of time this cluster of homes on Turner Street and Varden Street fell into disrepair. The Spitalfields Trust fought to save these wonderful and unique homes and restored them about 15 years ago.

Today, these award-winning houses offer a great balance of old and new, having been partially rebuilt and extended whilst retaining a host of period character including floorboards, panelling, mahogany banisters, duck nest fire grates with Portland Stone slips and a flagstone floor. This historic detail creates an atmosphere which makes this an elegant house in which to live and entertain.

Offering in the region of 1800sqft, in which we are informed is the largest plot in this award-winning scheme, the accommodation is spread over four floors and has enviable easterly and westerly orientation which offers superb views toward the City to the rear. Since the property has been in the current vendors ownership, they have updated and improved windows, bathrooms, the kitchen, the garden room, garden and have installed a new boiler.

Briefly, the accommodation incorporates a large kitchen/dinner with Aga and separate utility room on the lower floor, doors open out on to a low maintenance garden. To the foot of the garden is a useful garden room which has power, heating and light and would make a fantastic office or additional living space, gym or studio.

On the upper ground floor is a double reception room, with high ceilings, two fireplaces and a dual aspect. To the rear at half landing level is a study/fourth bedroom.

There are two double bedrooms, both with built in wardrobes and a bathroom on the first floor. The top floor is where the principal bedroom is located. This room has wonderful westerly views, lots of eaves storage, a good ceiling height and ensuite bathroom. Access to a terrace is located between the top and first floor.

Turner Street is a quiet, largely residential street situated between Commercial Road and Whitechapel Road and about 350 meters from Whitechapel Station. Whitechapel Station has both the District and Hammersmith & City lines and Overground running from there and now the new Elizabeth Line which offers swift access to Heathrow, the West End and Canary Wharf.
