About this property
Unique Oasis in East London for Design Lovers
This unique and spacious open concept apartment features one large open space split into levels. The layout is thoughtfully designed with distinct zones for lounging, dining, working, or sleeping. Aa period conversion in an English Heritage building, the interior retains many of its original features such as restored panel paintings, Crittall windows, and 16-foot vaulted ceilings.
You will enjoy a bright and spacious environment with comfortable and design classic furnishings throughout. The space offers a mix of luxe, history and design detail.
The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking, the beds are fitted with hotel quality linens, and the bathroom with freshly laundered towels and hotel style toiletries.
Upon entering the apartment, guests are greeted by a compact hall that offers a practical space for storing coats and shoes. Passing through the original double doors, one is led down to a large open-plan dining area with a modern fitted kitchen at its far end. On the other, a nook next to the library for relaxing and reading on a daybed, which also serves as an additional zone for guests to sleep.
Ascending to the upper level is a thoughtfully arranged layout with distinct zones for sleeping, lounging, or working. Original floor-to-ceiling Crittall windows flood the space with natural light, and a modern bathroom, equipped with both a bath and a shower, adds a touch of contemporary convenience.
The apartment's stylish interior is furnished with an eclectic mix of modern design classics. Whether you're a writer or designer, or simply need a serene retreat to read and think, this apartment offers a creative and peaceful oasis.

Area:
Situated in the East London docklands, the apartment is easily accessible via the Elizabeth Line and Jubilee Line, connecting you to central London in under half an hour. The nearby Stratford Station serves various transportation modes, including the Underground, Overground, Docklands Light Railway (DLR), and National Rail services.
The area is a vibrant and diverse neighbourhood in the London Borough of Newham that offers several great parks nearby, including Plaistow Park and the large West Ham Park just a mile away. Prominent venues such as the O2 Arena, Excel Exhibition Centre, and Olympic Park Village are also close by. The Greenway footpath, a 7km stretch of verdant space, serves as a link between East Ham and Victoria Park offering both pedestrian and cycling routes from the apartment to various destinations, such as Zaha Hadid's pool in Olympic Park or Hackney Wick for a delightful pizza experience at Crate Brewery. The footpath interconnects with other nature trails, while also providing convenient access to Stratford Station.
Architecture and Design History:
This late 19th-century red brick building was originally built as a University Settlement. It was extended and refurbished in the 1930s including the stunning communal spiral staircase and terrazzo flooring by the architect best known for designing the Royal Institute of British Architects building.
