Description

Tucked away in a private gated terrace of Georgian townhouses, this Grade II listed two/three-bedroom home offers over 853 square feet of living space spread across three levels. The residence showcases charming architectural details characteristic of the era, including traditional brick exteriors and classic sash windows that contribute to its historic appeal. While the property retains much of its original charm, it presents a unique opportunity for modernization and personalization. New owners can benefit from the flexibility to reimagine the space to meet contemporary needs and tastes. The ground floor welcomes you with a panelled hallway that leads into a south-facing reception room, where there is potential to create an expansive front-to-back living area by combining it with the rear bathroom/WC. A door opens to a private patio garden—an inviting outdoor space perfect for entertaining, enhanced by an uncommon view of the flat-backed terrace behind Walden Street. Moving to the lower-ground floor, you will find a fitted kitchen at the rear alongside another versatile reception room that could serve as either a sitting or dining area. This layout allows for various uses, accommodating both everyday living and entertaining. On the upper level, two generously sized double bedrooms feature large sash windows that fill the rooms with natural light. There are also two separate bathrooms located further down the hallway for added convenience. Notably, this property does not currently include a mansard roof extension found in neighboring homes on Walden Street. This presents an appealing prospect for prospective buyers interested in expanding their living space by adding another floor, subject to obtaining necessary planning permissions. Overall, this home is not only a charming residence but also a promising investment with significant renovation potential in an enviable East London location.
