Flat to rent in Keeling House, Claredale Street, Bethnal Green E2

Sitting on the top three floors of one of the finest Modernist buildings in London, this two-bedroom triplex penthouse approaches 900 sq ft of internal space affording impressive views of London's skyline from a large private roof terrace.

Built between 1954 and 1957 to a design by Denys Lasdun, one of Britain’s greatest Modern architects, Keeling House was renovated to an exacting standard by Munkenbeck + Marshall in 2001.
Entering the building through secure gates and across a walkway bridge / water feature into the ground floor reception area. The apartment is positioned on the 14th, 15th and 16th floors, with lift access. The versatile accommodation provides an open-plan reception room, a main bedroom with east-facing balcony, a second double bedroom and a bathroom. The top floor is formed of a single open-plan room with floor-to-ceiling glazing on two sides and a private roof terrace with far-reaching elevated views of the East London skyline towards Canary Wharf. Secondary glazing has been fitted throughout.
Keeling House was Grade II* listed in 1993 in recognition of its architectural significance. Although originally built for the local council, it was sold to a developer in 1999 with all apartments now in private ownership. The building has a concierge, and Hyperoptic broadband.
Denys Lasdun’s original design for Keeling House shunned the traditional slab block in favour of a winged plan (four blocks arranged around a central service tower), which encouraged the occupants to interact with each other. Munkenbeck + Marshall’s thoughtful renovation earned a riba award and a Civic Trust commendation. The architects added a striking glass entrance area and an additional floor on top of the building.<br /><br />Claredale Street is well positioned for both Columbia Road flower market and Broadway Market, with open spaces found at nearby London Fields and Victoria Park. Bethnal Green Underground station (Central Line) is approximately 500 metres away, providing easy access to Liverpool Street and the West End. Rail services are available from Cambridge Heath, and there are good bus links.

Secure parking available by separate negotiation.
