The Clock Tower is an attractive two bed maisonette forming part of a stately 19th century building that dates from 1868. Certain features in the property have been retained that, together with a thoughtful conversion, have created a home sympathetic to both industrial and residential influences. The different levels and layout offer flexible space and greatly appeal to those who appreciate the impression and lifestyle of living in a house.

Whitechapel is a vibrant, cosmopolitan and rapidly developing part of the capital. It is dominated by Shoreditch, Spitalfields and The City of London. The neighbourhood is renowned for its alternative music and arts scene, especially The Whitechapel Art Gallery.

Set back from the road around a tranquil courtyard, Albion Yard is one of the area's hidden gems and features on local architecture tours. The courtyard is nicely planted and leads to a large main entrance and foyer. The communal parts were recently refurbished and feature large stained glass windows.

The maisonette itself is well appointed and proportioned throughout and comprises the following:
