Flat for sale in The Shoreditch Centre, Haggerston E2

This stunning three-bedroom duplex apartment offers a perfect blend of historic charm and modern elegance, located within the Grade II listed Shoreditch Centre, a building steeped in history as a former maternity hospital. Spanning over 1,000 square feet, this design-conscious residence offers a unique living experience in one of London’s most vibrant neighbourhoods.

The Shoreditch Centre building was a Maternity and Child Welfare Centre in the past, one of Britain’s pioneering ante-natal and infant care out-patient facilities. This elegant establishment emerged from the visionary efforts of the Maternity and Child Welfare Movement, led by George Frederick McCleary since 1915. This building is grade II listed due to its striking neo-Georgian architecture, masterfully designed by Francis Danby Smith (1876-1936), a distinguished architect renowned for his specialization in hospital construction. Smith also served as the architect for the Guardians of St. Leonard’s Workhouse and Infirmary in Shoreditch. Funded by the Carnegie UK Trust, which financed the creation of three other exemplary centres in Liverpool, Birmingham, and Motherwell, The Shoreditch Centre stands out as the most architecturally distinguished among them.

The ground floor of this property features a spacious living room and kitchen. The large period windows and impressive 3.2-meter ceilings create a bright, airy atmosphere. Ascend to the first floor, where you’ll find three generously proportioned bedrooms and a well-appointed bathroom, all boasting 3.17-meter ceilings that enhance the sense of space and light. The main bedroom is particularly noteworthy, with a double aspect view that floods the room with natural light, making it an exceptionally bright and welcoming retreat.

This duplex has been recently refurbished with a sympathetic touch, preserving the building’s historic elements while incorporating contemporary design features. The unconverted attic space presents an exciting opportunity for those looking to expand, subject to planning permission.

Residents of the Shoreditch Centre enjoy access to a communal indoor games or work hall, multiple communal patio and garden areas, and undesignated parking within this secure, gated development.
