"Positioned on the third floor of Dunstan Houses, a striking red brick mansion block in the heart of Stepney Green, this bright and characterful one bedroom apartment benefits from a secure and gated entry, share of freehold, voluminous ceilings, far reaching views of the London skyline, and access to a spacious communal courtyard.

Built in 1899 by the East End Dwellings Company Ltd, Dunstan Houses was part of a philanthropic approach to provide improved housing for working Londoners. Its distinctive late Victorian fa ade, with decorative wrought iron balconies and an iconic domed tower at Cressy Place, adds to its architectural charm.

The apartment is accessed via a communal lobby leading into a hallway with stone flooring. Positioned to take full advantage of its south facing aspect, the space is filled with natural light throughout the day. The living room has original floorboards and a large sash window that frames far reaching views. There is also an entire wall of shelving creating great storage, and making the most out of the generous ceiling height. The current owner has cleverly used the space adjacent to the living room door as a home office area. The eat in kitchen is designed with both style and functionality in mind, featuring a white Formica worktop with exposed ply edging, geometric splashback tiles, and integrated appliances. The double bedroom is a calm and airy space, with a neutral palette that maximises the light and a cosy feel from the carpeted floor. The bathroom has a clean and contemporary feel with a mixture of stone and ceramic tiles.

Residents benefit from a spacious communal courtyard at the rear, providing a peaceful setting for alfresco dining and socialising.
