1 bed flat for sale

Cleveland Way, London E1

This bright loft-style apartment lies in Bethnal Green, close to traditional pubs, celebrated restaurants and green public parks. Versatile in design, its lower level is occupied by an expansive open-plan living space, overlooked by an airy mezzanine level above. The building has secure off street parking.

The Tour

Cleveland Way is a residential street between Stepney Green, Bethnal Green and Whitechapel. Entry to the apartment is via a communal hallway, with stair access.

Its front door opens to a neat porch; directly ahead, a door reveals the open-plan living space at the centre of the home. The room has been subtly divided under current ownership, delineating a large study area and adjacent sitting space. Broad and with windows in the front and rear, it is a flexible space that could suit multiple configurations.

Solid oak floors continue from the living space into the kitchen, which has a long bank of black kitchen units, topped with a stainless-steel surface and a blue glass splashback. Appliances have been integrated, and include Smeg fittings.

Beautiful oak stairs ascend to the mezzanine sleeping level. Here, a stainless-steel balustrade sustains a connection with both levels. Ribbon windows and roof lights draw in brightness, and a door opens to a smart bathroom on one side. Fitted with an iconic early 00's Alessi x Laufen toilet and sink suite, as well as vola taps, the bathroom's thoughtful design reflects that of the rest of the apartment.

This unit has a designated gated parking space at the rear of the block.

The Area

Cleveland Way is well-positioned between Bethnal Green, Stepney Green and Whitechapel. Stalwart cinema Genesis is a short walk away and shows blockbusters, new arthouse films, and classics alike. To the north is Cambridge Heath Road, where favourites include Ombra, Bistrotheque, Miga and Forna. In Bethnal Green, long-serving café E. Pellicci is the go-to for a fry-up. Bakery Rinkoff's and Indian restaurant Tayyabs are also nearby.

There are plenty of galleries in walking distance, from the Young V&A in Bethnal Green, the Whitechapel Gallery, Maureen Paley and Raven Row in Spitalfields. Shoreditch and the City can also be easily reached on foot. There are several parks nearby, including Bethnal Green Gardens and Weaver's Fields; slightly further afield but still within walking distance are Victoria Park and Haggerston Park, which sits next to Hackney City Farm.

Transport connections are excellent: Stations in Whitechapel (Elizabeth, District, Hammersmith and City, Circle and Windrush lines), Stepney Green (District, Circle and Hammersmith and City lines), Bethnal Green (Central line), and Bethnal Green Overground (Weaver line) are all within 10 minutes' walk away.
