Property description
This exceptional four-bedroom house sits on Tredegar Square, a brilliantly preserved Georgian garden square in Mile End, east London. It was completed in 2013 by riba-nominated architect Clear Architects and has been featured in the design press; it was also was part of Open House Festival in 2014. Formerly a warehouse building, the house is defined by clean, architectural lines and a vast footprint of 2,380 sq ft that provides ample modes for living with this remarkable building. It lies within the Tredegar Square Conservation Area which has a wonderfully quiet, almost countryside-like atmosphere, yet is brilliantly located for Underground connections across London with Mile End just three minutes away.
The Tour
Tucked away in the corner of the beautiful Tredegar Square, the wonderfully private house is accessed via a gated entrance that provides off-road parking space for two cars. A neatly appointed path leads up to the front door, buttressed by old railway sleepers and a brick wall. On entry, the airy hallway stretches almost endlessly upwards and nods to the contemporary interventions that have been integrated throughout. A palette of polished concrete and exposed brickwork creates a warm, textured environment, aided by the soft lighting built into the stair treads.
Carefully considered so as to capitalise on the south-west-facing sunlight, the house has been inverted, placing the living areas are on the first floor and the bedrooms at ground level. The living space unfolds across the full width of the building, with rows of Crittall windows that allow light to flood into the plan. A double-height pitched roof provides voluminous, lofty proportions. All windows are double glazed and the house has underfloor heating throughout. Usefully, sockets have been built into the floors at regular intervals.
The dining room lies beyond a seating area beneath a generous skylight. Positioned at the far end of the plan and framed by dramatic exposed beams, the contemporary kitchen is defined by bold red cabinetry, an alabaster resin worktop and crisp white walls. The kitchen is fully equipped with built-in appliances and gives way to a pantry and WC.
There are four bedrooms on the ground floor; all have built-in storage solutions and are lit by warehouse windows. The peaceful main bedroom lies at the end of the plan and has a large en suite with a bath and a shower. Two of the other bedrooms also have en suites and all around have soft wool carpet underfoot.
Outdoor Space
Stairs from the living space ascend to an elevated terrace that looks over the rooftops of London. A bright splash of pink livens up the wall, while decking and Astroturf run underfoot. Spacious enough for a generous dining area, it is regularly used by the current owners for alfresco dinners and barbeques with friends.
The Area
Tredegar Square is a beautifully preserved Georgian garden square in Mile End. An oasis of calm - yet unbeatably located for transport links - it has a wonderful feeling of peace. Established as a conversation area in 1971, the square is known for its refined, unbroken use of white stone and stucco terrace townhouses echoing the squares of Belgravia and Bayswater. There is a well-maintained formal garden that sits at the heart of the square and an award-winning local pub, The Morgan Arms, moments away. There are regular residents' events on the square throughout the year, engendering a real sense of community.
