Myrdle Street, Whitechapel, London, E1

Spaciously, and over two floors, this two-bedroom flat in Whitechapel is pleasing in every department and is within striking distance of some of East London’s most-loved locations.

Brickworks Says - Along a tree-lined street in Whitechapel is a supremely practical and tasteful two-bedroom flat. Thanks to the layout over two floors, it has the feel of a house, with a generous open-plan living area downstairs.

The kitchen has been well-designed, thinking of everything from cupboard space (which it has in bucketloads) to the central island, where everyone inevitably gravitates. The living space has an easy flow, pulling you toward the courtyard outside, which has ample space for a dining area and is fully decked for maximum lounging and minimal maintenance.

Upstairs, the equally proportioned bedrooms feel roomy and have been decorated in soothing tones. The stylish bathroom steps up the luxe with a freestanding bath and marble-effect tiling. The apartment block, while in keeping with the character of the area, enjoys the perks of modern design –– a 'B' energy rating for one. And the thing you'll never be short of is storage. Oodles of it have been built-in, in bedrooms and under the stairs, so that you can keep things neat as a pin.

Montego Court is a dream spot for anyone who wants to be in the thick of all things East London. You'll never be bored when you are around the corner from iconic destinations such as Brick Lane and Spitalfields, home to a vast selection of culinary and late-night spots. Soak up the street art or pop into The Whitechapel Gallery. And when you want to slow things down, head to a nearby city farm at Stepney City, Spitalfields and Hackney, or the wide green spaces of Victoria Park, London's oldest public park.

The Owners Say - For us, this is a very special area of London. Having rented around the corner for several years, it was our first home, and we celebrated all the big milestones here - engagement, marriage, and first child.

Before having children, we made the most of the fun stuff in the neighbourhoods that were walkable to us, particularly Spitalfields and Shoreditch. After our daughter came along, we found the area surprisingly good for children, too, including no less than three city farms a short walk away.

We were very happy for many years in this flat –– we hope you love it as much as we have.

The Legal Bit - While we strive to create true-to-life photographs, floor plans and descriptions, our marketing material is only a guide. Purchasers should always visit in person, ask relevant questions and triple-check details. Brickworks takes our duty of care incredibly seriously and takes all reasonable steps to ensure all presented information is correct. However, we sometimes rely on the accuracy of the information provided to us by the seller and others. Also, please note that we often round up/down total floor plan measurements and/or use approximate distances.
