Sunlight Square, Bethnal Green E2

Located in the heart of East London, Sunlight Square offers a rare opportunity to own a truly unique and character-filled apartment.

Originally a 19th-century industrial building, the development retains many of its original architectural features, seamlessly blending historic charm with contemporary living. This exceptional L-shaped one-bedroom apartment is a stunning example of industrial conversion, boasting soaring 3.3-meter-high ceilings throughout and an abundance of natural light, creating an expansive and airy atmosphere.

Historically, Sunlight Square was home to the Sunlight Laundry, part of Lever Brothers’ pioneering approach to public health through industrial-scale laundry services. With the widespread adoption of home washing machines, the laundry was eventually closed, but the building’s generous proportions, large windows, and high ceilings, originally designed for ventilation and worker well-being, made it an ideal candidate for residential conversion in the 1990s. Today, it stands as a testament to London’s industrial heritage, transformed into a stylish and desirable residential development.

Spanning an impressive 925 square feet, the apartment is designed with versatility in mind. A defining feature of the space is its nine large windows, which span the entire exterior wall, ensuring uninterrupted natural light from its ideal east-west orientation. This positioning allows for beautiful sunrises in the morning and warm, golden light in the evening, enhancing the sense of space and openness. The apartment enjoys serene views over the internal courtyard garden, providing a peaceful retreat from the bustle of the city.

Immaculate solid teak wood flooring runs throughout, lending warmth and elegance to the industrial aesthetic. The kitchen is thoughtfully separated from the main living space, offering both practicality and an improved sense of zoning within the home. One of the most striking features of the apartment is the custom-made artisan furniture, hand-crafted in Germany, which has been designed to seamlessly integrate up to the ceiling, maximizing storage far beyond conventional solutions. The result is a sleek and highly efficient living environment that retains an uncluttered and contemporary feel. The property is exceptionally quiet, benefiting from its position within the development. This apartment is also offered with a secure 45 square feet storeroom at the basement level within the building.

Sunlight Square itself is a secure gated development offering a range of amenities, including an on-site concierge service from Monday to Friday and allocated parking for residents. The communal courtyard garden provides a charming outdoor space, further enhancing the appeal of this well-maintained and sought-after community.

The apartment also benefits from excellent transport links. It is located just a few minutes’ walk from the Central Line, with Liverpool Street Station only a few minutes away. The area is also served by two Overground stations and extensive bus routes providing direct access to Central London. For international travel, a Stansted Airport bus stop is located just a short walk away, while London City Airport is also easily accessible. Additionally, the Elizabeth Line to Heathrow is within easy reach, ensuring quick and convenient access to the airport.

Beyond its practical advantages, Sunlight Square is perfectly situated in one of London’s most vibrant and culturally rich neighbourhoods. Residents are within walking distance of an array of iconic locations, including Columbia Road Flower Market, Brick Lane Market, Shoreditch, Spitalfields Market, Broadway Market, London Fields, and Victoria Park. The nearby Regents Canal offers a picturesque route leading to the Olympic Park and King’s Cross, making it an ideal setting for those who enjoy exploring London’s green spaces and waterside walks.
