Keeling House, Claredale Street, E2

An extensively refurbished and remodelled two-bedroom apartment spread over two floors in Keeling House, one of East London’s most important modernist buildings, designed by Denis Lasdun and later restored by Munkenbeck + Marshall.

Arranged over the 1st and 2nd floors, the apartment has been newly finished to an exceptional standard throughout, with rich Farrow and Ball tones which create a warm, restful interior amongst the brutalist undertones.

A welcoming vestibule leads into the light filled south facing reception room, newly fitted with sleek engineered Oak flooring and sympathetic secondary glazing. A private south facing balcony provides picturesque views directly onto the Winkley Street conservation area and fills the space with natural light and sunshine for most of the day. This is one of a handful apartments remaining in Keeling House which boasts a separate kitchen. The kitchen is fitted with handle less earth-grey and champagne cabinetry, quartz worktops and a vertical tiled splash back, and newly installed high specification Bosch appliances.

Upstairs two double bedrooms are arranged on the upper floor, both retaining similar outlooks onto the terraced houses as the living room. The principal bedroom holds a cleverly designed and spacious storage cabinet, whilst further storage is located just outside in the hallway.

The bathroom is finished with Villeroy & Boch fixtures.

Keeling House is a secure gated development with a landscaped communal courtyard, secure cycle storage and car parking area (undesignated). There is lift access, with each floor further secured with individual floor door codes. Residents are well looked after by attentive day porters Graham and Rais - true assets to the building and fondly regarded by residents for their knowledgeable and friendly demeanours.

Located on the borders of Bethnal Green and Hackney, this home is ideally located for all the coffee shops, acclaimed restaurants, bars and independent retailers of the surrounding area. Easthaus favourite Ozone on Emma Street is just around the corner and an amazing breakfast spot; The Common on Old Bethnal Green Road serves delicious coffee and cakes, and neighbour restaurant Rogues on Hackney Road serves up exceedingly good small plates and cocktails. The property is also within easy reach of Broadway Market and The Regents Canal. Columbia Road, Haggerston Park and Hackney City Farm, as well as Victoria Park and London Fields. The property is circa 0.4 miles from Bethnal Green (central line), and Cambridge Heath (overground) is approximately 0.2 miles away.
