Umberston Street, Whitechapel E1

Available from 30th September, this furnished two-bedroom flat is situated on the fourth floor of a contemporary development in Whitechapel. The property comprises two bedrooms, a spacious open-plan kitchen and reception room, bathroom and a private balcony, alongside access to a communal garden. Large windows bring plenty of natural light into the living spaces, while the location places Whitechapel, Aldgate and Shadwell within easy reach and provides convenient connections towards the City and wider London.

The open-plan reception and dining area forms the main living space of the flat, with wood-effect flooring and a generous rectangular layout providing clearly defined areas for relaxing and dining. Floor-to-ceiling glazing spans much of the far end of the room, bringing in natural light and providing direct access onto the private balcony.

The kitchen is incorporated into the open-plan living area and is fitted with a range of wood-effect wall and base units, dark worktops and white tiled splashbacks. Appliances visible in the photographs include an integrated oven and gas hob, while a stainless-steel sink is set into the worktop.

The principal bedroom is a well-proportioned double room with a neutral finish and carpeted flooring. Full-height glazed doors and windows provide plenty of natural light and open directly onto the balcony.

The second bedroom has a long, practical layout and is also finished with neutral décor and carpeted flooring. A full-height window provides natural light, while the room is shown accommodating a double bed and freestanding storage.
The bathroom is finished with neutral tiling and comprises a full-sized bath with shower above, pedestal wash basin and WC. A mirrored cabinet provides additional storage above the basin.

The private balcony extends across the rear of the property and is accessible from both the reception room and principal bedroom. It provides useful outdoor space with room for a small table and chairs, while its fourth-floor position offers open views across the surrounding rooftops. Residents also have access to a communal garden.

For additional green space, Altab Ali Park can be found towards Aldgate East and provides lawns, seating, play areas and a floodlit turf area. The park is also of historical significance, occupying the former site of St Mary Matfelon, the church from which Whitechapel takes its name.

The property is well positioned for many of East London's best-known destinations. Whitechapel Gallery is within the wider local area, while Brick Lane and Spitalfields provide an extensive choice of markets, independent shops, cafés, restaurants and nightlife. The Tower of London and the riverside around St Katharine Docks are also accessible from the area.

Everyday amenities are readily available around Whitechapel Road and Commercial Road, including supermarkets, shops, cafés, restaurants and other local services. The location also places residents close to the wider amenities of Aldgate, Spitalfields and the eastern edge of the City.

Transport connections are particularly convenient. Shadwell DLR, Whitechapel station and Aldgate East Underground station are nearby. Whitechapel provides Underground, London Overground and Elizabeth line connections, while Aldgate East is served by the District and Hammersmith & City lines. Numerous bus stops are also positioned along nearby Commercial Road and New Road.
