Wilkes Street E1

The only Victorian house on Wilkes Street perfectly positioned at the epicentre of the renowned historical Spitalfields Conservation Area. Spread over 2,700 sqft (approx.) and refurbished with beautiful marble fireplaces in every room, lateral living space with a modern contemporary aesthetic throughout is featured over 5 floors. Unlike most of the Georgian houses well known to the local streets, this 4 bed 3 bath freehold house is not Grade II listed, which has enabled each floor to be remodelled without constraints with open plan living in mind and the addition of a large rear extension with roof terrace overlooking local gardens towards the City.

With a stunning backdrop of the famous Hawksmoor designed Christ Church, this freehold was a former green grocer’s shop and retains a traditional Victorian façade whilst standing out amongst the original Huguenot Georgian townhouses commonly known locally. Attention to detail with a mix of curated chandeliers, light fixtures and current 20th Century design led furniture set this house apart from others on one of the most desired streets in Spitalfields which makes this a very a rare and unique find.

At the ground floor level a large open plan fully fitted kitchen with marble worktop features skylights which flood the space with natural light in addition to a spacious dining room framed upon the entrance with restored sliding doors and fireplace. The lower ground floor has a double bedroom with French doors, flag stone flooring, shower room, separate space for a cinema/gym and vaults including a utility room. On the first floor is a double living room with two fireplaces and French doors leading out to a large roof terrace with reinforced walkable glass sections coupled with great views over the neighbouring gardens towards the City. An original Victorian staircase leads to the second floor which contains the master bedroom with walk through wardrobe/dressing area and a beautifully finished bathroom with large shower and free standing bath. On the top third floor is a further two double bedrooms and a clever connecting shower room offering en-suite facilities to both. The West facing rear of the house has stunning views over the local historical rooftops towards the spire of Christ Church and beyond to London’s more recent skyline of the Gherkin, Heron Tower and mix of other new additions to the City.

Located in the heart of Spitalfields, the buzzing Spitalfields Market is over the road and the likes of popular local restaurants, St Johns, Brat & Hawksmoor are on the doorstep with endless galleries, bars and cafes to list. The nightlife of Shoreditch and Brick Lane are also just around the corner with Columbia Road and Broadway Market a meander away. Transport connections are excellent with Liverpool St Station (including the Elizabeth Line) is within a few minutes walk and Shoreditch High St/Aldgate Overground are also easily reachable on foot.
