_East London 4-bedroom Queen Anne house owned by celebrity designer hits the market

Guide price: £1,500,000 - £1,750,000

A masterclass in architectural and interior design spread over 4 floors, this moody, dramatic and sensorial home bursts with character and delights the senses at every turn with contrast and juxtaposition top of the menu. 

This is a rare London home that will no doubt generate much interest. Owned for the last 24 years by one of the world’s most celebrated interior designers, this unique property has received 1000s of pages of press coverage, has appeared in a number of glossy coffee table books and has been the subject of countless TV documentaries.

It is not just a celebrated piece of architecture and interior design, but for many years it was one of London’s busiest and most popular fashion and celebrity locations, hosting 100s of glamorous photo shoots.

Since 2009 it has also operated as a very successful 'micro boutique' hotel with a long list of accolades and awards. This means that it offers a buyer not just the chance to live in a beautiful home, but also to generate a very healthy income if they want to continue some of the existing businesses operated here. The sale could include the 40 Winks name, website, mailing lists and all the associated goodwill at no additional cost.

Internally, the property has undergone a full suite of renovations and modernisation and is arranged over 4 floors with a large converted, usable attic space.

The layout of the rooms offers great flexibility, with 4 bedroom on the first and second floors and living/dining/kitchen on the ground and lower ground floors. It also has the benefit of an attractive landscaped garden at the rear of the property and its own gated car parking.

Built in 1717 by John Ireland, the property was the subject of an extensive programme of works carried out by the Spitalfields Historic Buildings Trust in the 1990s. These works, supported by grant aid from English Heritage, included the sensitive repair of the building’s many fine interior features including panelling, cornices, fireplaces, balustraded staircases and shutters.

It is extremely rare to have a London townhouse of this age and quality come on to the London market.

Within the Stepney Green Conservation Area, the property is moments from Stepney Green station and a 5-minute walk from Whitechapel which will soon be served by the new high speed Elizabeth Line. The City, Shoreditch, Victoria Park and Spitalfields can be reached within 15 minutes.

Delivering a home owner's dream on every level - comfort, space and charm, the property is equally suited to raising a family as it is entertaining on a grand scale with earning potential to boot. Why not find out more, speak to a friendly agent or request a viewing?
