Sunlight Square, Bethnal Green, E2

Set within the former Sunlight Laundry complex, this spacious first-floor apartment extends to 932 sq ft and includes a private balcony and allocated parking, all within a quiet, gated development in one of East London’s most vibrant neighbourhoods.

Sunlight Square forms part of a historically significant industrial site developed by Lever Brothers, whose progressive approach to worker wellbeing was reflected in the building’s design. Large windows, open-plan layouts and generous ceiling heights were introduced to maximise natural light and ventilation, features that remain highly sought-after today. Following the decline of communal laundering in the mid-20th century, the site was thoughtfully converted into residential use in the 1990s and now stands as a celebrated example of adaptive reuse.

Positioned in the first block within the development, the apartment offers 2.7-metre-high ceilings throughout, enhancing the sense of volume and light. The layout is currently arranged as a generous one-bedroom home, originally configured as two bedrooms and easily reconfigured if required.

At its heart is an impressive open-plan living, dining and kitchen space, with the kitchen seamlessly integrated into the main reception area. This expansive room opens directly onto a private balcony overlooking the communal gardens. A sleek, modern bathroom completes the accommodation.

The apartment is chain free, comes with a share of freehold, and benefits from concierge services, providing both security and convenience while retaining a peaceful, secluded feel.

Bethnal Green Underground and Overground stations are a short walk away, offering excellent connections to the City, Shoreditch and beyond. The surrounding area has undergone a cultural renaissance, now home to a diverse mix of independent cafés, restaurants, galleries and bars. Nearby green spaces include Weavers Fields and Bethnal Green Gardens, while Victoria Park, London Fields, Broadway Market and Columbia Road Flower Market are all within easy reach.
