3 bed terraced house for sale

Turner Street, Whitechapel, London E1

A delightful and characterful home, occupying a prominent corner position that allows natural light to stream in through multiple windows, one of which, has a picturesque view looking toward the city.

Beautifully maintained and enhanced by its current custodian, the property stands in excellent decorative order and showcases a wealth of period charm. Stripped wood floors, sash windows, exposed brickwork and a dramatic double-height ceiling on the upper floor create a wonderful sense of style and warmth. To the rear sits a self-contained guest house, adding versatility and appeal to what is truly a home with soul.

Rescued, extended, and transformed by the Spitalfields Trust, this three-bedroom, two-bathroom end-of-terrace house now forms part of a terrace of award-winning homes celebrated for their heritage and design. Arranged across four floors, the house retains a wealth of original features, including wide timber floorboards, elegant panelling, cast-iron fireplaces. A sensitive rear extension and handmade pantile mansard roof have added light and versatility.

The interiors combine heritage with carefully chosen modern details. The original kitchen fireplace and stone slabs, dating back to 1810, remain intact, alongside a stone floor grounded and sealed two years ago. A Smeg oven and Fisher & Paykel Dish Drawer serve the kitchen, while handmade lighting by Rothschild & Bickers adds craft and character in
key rooms, the elegant curtains by ColeFax & Fowler give each room its true personality.

Practical upgrades include double-glazed sash windows and doors by London Sash Window & Doors, fitted with brass side bolts to enhance both comfort and quiet. The exterior of the house was repainted just two years ago with traditional Brouns & Co linseed oil paint, while the interiors retain the authentic palette of the original Spitalfields Restoration Project. New carpet has been fitted in the stairwell by Islington Flooring Company, with wool carpet in the bedrooms (three years old and professionally cleaned). A Valiant gas boiler, under warranty until 2026, and a re-waterproofed cellar by J & A Home Repairs (with a five-year guarantee) provide further peace of mind.

The west-facing walled garden is a highlight-irrigated for easy maintenance and generous in proportion. At its far end stands a charming two-storey outbuilding with bathroom and mini-kitchen, offering a flexible self-contained guest house, office, or studio with private street access.

The loft remains in its original silk-weaver's form, with plumbing already in place and a SketchUp design available for a future bathroom. From here, there is an enchanting view back towards the city, framed by the repetitive patterning of chimneys from the Spitalfields Restoration Houses, with their flourishing gardens below.

Agents note – the curtains in the principal bedroom, kitchen, laundry and Little Sitting Room
do not form part of this sale, the remaining furniture and fittings and light fittings are for sale by separate negotiation. Kitchen, Laundry and Little Sitting Room curtains as well (stripy red)
