Exchange Building, Shoreditch, E1

Located on the first floor of an exclusive art-deco printworks conversion in the heart of Spitalfields, this bright west-facing one bedroom apartment has unusual design features such as curved walls and large commercial windows.
 
After walking through the imposing entrance, you're greeted with an impressive paved marble reception and an exemplary 24-hour concierge team. The welcoming lobby area's furnished with sofas' and side tables for waiting guests and serviced by two lifts to all floors and double doors leading out to residents only well-maintained landscaped gardens, with planters and seating areas.
 
As you enter the apartment you are presented with a wide entrance hallway with the vestibule area creating a cozy study space with a built-in double cupboard (large for a 1-bed) providing useful storage for household essentials. To the left is a spacious recently refurbished bathroom including a separate walk-in shower and bath finished with marbled 600 x 300mm tiles. An integrated wash basin and vanity cabinet with recessed storage shelf provides ample storage for toiletries.
 
The reception is deceiving; It is a generous space with huge potential and the curvature of the walls an unusual design feature providing a sense playfulness. With minor re-configuration this room could be transformed into an exciting entertainment space by removing the glass block wall separating the kitchen (with freeholder consent) creating an expansive open-plan living area. The westerly aspect of this room allows sunshine throughout the day, even in winter. The kitchen neatly closed off from the reception by a glass brick wall has all electric integrated appliances including; dishwasher, washer/dryer, fridge/freezer an electric fan oven and hob.
 
Recently re-decorated and with new carpet laid, the bedroom is a fair size and benefits from a large built-in wardrobe offering good storage space and plenty of room for freestanding furnishings.
 
Rare for the area, this property comes with a secure underground parking space located just outside the congestion charge zone.
 
The location is exceptional, adjacent to the beloved Spitalfields Market with its array of boutique stores, market stalls and pop-up restaurants selling culinary delights from across the globe. The nightlife and fine dining of Shoreditch only a few hundred yards up the road and 5-minutes’ walk from the city with immediate proximity to bus and rail services via Liverpool Street station. Offered to market with no onward chain and sold with vacant possession, this could be a swift and easy transaction.

This is an ideal property for a first-time buyer seeking an easy lifestyle with a well-serviced apartment in central London. It is even better as a city pied-a-terre for the long distant commuter and frequent visitor.
