Flat to rent in London E1, 1 Bedroom

This authentic conversion of a former Late Victorian School, originally dating back to 1882, is located on a quiet street.

Architect Roger Black converted the school in 2002 into an exclusive gated development of contemporary flats with 24-hour concierge. The courtyard of the development boasts an avenue of mature lime trees hung with decorative lighting; creating a special night-time ambience. The internal entrances to both buildings of the Stepney City complex have large contemporary wooden doors with glass surrounds. The corridors of the development are unusually wide, with large Italian-designed lamps suspended from the high ceilings.

The immaculate first floor loft faces a large and quiet garden with mature trees and has clear views of Canary Wharf in the distance. The flat reflects a great attention to detail and an interior design feel. Key features are the double-height ceilings, exposed brickwork, wall-mounted designer radiators, large storage cupboard under the stairs, custom-made built-in wardrobe, east-facing original single-glazed sash windows, low-hung ceiling chandeliers and a revamped kitchen with integrated dishwasher and washing machine.

Upstairs is the large mezzanine bedroom level, featuring an exposed brick wall, another large window and a large built-in wardrobe with sliding doors. Adjacent is the very spacious modern bathroom with storage cupboard. The property has engineered oak wood flooring throughout the downstairs level, and new carpet on the upper level with good natural light flowing through the space.

DLR is within 5 minutes walk from the development and Whitechapel Underground Station is a short walk.
