Datchet House, Virginia Road, London E2

This excellent three-bedroom maisonette represents a rare opportunity to buy in the heart of the Shoreditch, just north of Arnold Circus, a tranquil community within walking distance of the East-End’s best restaurants, shops and cafes.

Datchet House is positioned just to the north of Arnold Circus and the famed Victorian red-brick buildings of the Boundary Estate, one of London’s first council estate’s, formed around the Circus’s signature raised bandstand and gardens.

Internally, the apartment is strictly contemporary in its aesthetic. Each room across the apartment’s two floors has been meticulously designed and reconfigured by interior design practice, Within Without. The first floor communal areas have been opened up to create a bright set of flowing spaces, orientated towards a balcony at the rear. The view from this private outdoor space overlooks the neighbouring Sunbury artists’ studios below and bathes the plan in wonderful levels of natural light.

Large scale concrete tiles emphasise the flow of natural light across the living room which has fitted bookshelves and a wall of raw plaster along the western-aspect. A handmade kitchen adjoins this space, towards the front of the plan. There are minimalist white units and birch-ply worktops, configured around a small dining area.

The second floor comprises two double-bedrooms, a bathroom and a smaller third bedroom which the current owners use as a home office. There are original lime-washed pine floorboards underfoot, raw plastered walls and fitted wardrobes in the master bedroom, and sleek concrete and black tiles in the bathroom. These spaces, positioned high above Virginia Road and some of the neighbouring buildings, are bright and offer a wonderful sense of peace in the very heart of Shoreditch

The apartment comes with its own storage unit on the ground-floor of Datchet House, providing welcome extra space beyond the internal plan.

Datchet House is excellently positioned for Columbia Road, home to the popular weekly flower market, as well as numerous independent shops, including Pavilion Bakery, The Royal Oak pub and neighbourhood restaurant, Brawn.

Arnold Circus itself, is home to legendary restaurant Rochelle Canteen, as well as Leila’s Shop for the finest seasonal produce and provisions. Studio Nicholson and Allie Capellino, both recently featured in The Modern House journal, are located on Calvert Avenue, less then five minutes from the apartment’s front door.
