Description
Description
Situated in the heart of the Spitalfields Conservation Area, this Grade II listed Georgian residence dating from the early 18th century (circa 1720s) offers a rare opportunity to acquire a distinguished period home in one of East London’s most historic streets.
Set along a cobbled lane, the house provides over 2,000 sq. ft. of accommodation arranged across five storeys. The property benefits from a distinctive 'flying freehold', with the upper floors extending over the neighbouring building, allowing for unusually generous room proportions and a notable sense of volume on the upper levels — a feature seldom found in traditional Spitalfields terraces.
The ground floor opens into an elegant, wood-panelled dining room, leading through to a kitchen, guest W/C, and a private courtyard garden. A magnificent, full-width drawing room occupies the first floor, featuring four large sash windows that flood the space with natural light and provide access to a private roof terrace.
The upper floors accommodate four bedrooms, a bathroom and a shower room, while a fifth bedroom is located on the lower ground floor.
The property is sold with the right to park a vehicle at the rear of the building, a rare and valuable asset within the congestion charging zone.
Location
Rich in history and architectural distinction, Elder Street is widely regarded as one of London’s finest and most intact Georgian streetscapes.
Tucked away yet exceptionally well connected, the property sits just 0.06 miles from the northern edge of Old Spitalfields Market, placing its vibrant mix of shops, restaurants and cultural venues within easy reach.
The property benefits from exceptional transport links, providing links across London and beyond. Liverpool Street Station (0.3 miles), Shoreditch High Street Station (0.3 miles), Aldgate East (0.5 miles) and Old Street Station (0.7 miles), offer access to the London Underground (Central, Circle, Hammersmith & City, Metropolitan, District, Northern and Elizabeth Lines), the London Overground (Windrush & Weaver Lines), and National Rail services.
