This immaculate two-bedroom apartment is spread over three floors on a quiet mews street in Bethnal Green.

Fitted oak cabinetry and shelving runs the length of one wall, perfect for displaying favourite objects. A wrought-iron balcony overlooking the stairs can be concealed with a sliding pocket door. The living area is warmed by under floor heating.
