Townhouse for sale in Shoreditch

Princelet Street, Shoreditch, London, E1
3 bedroom house in Shoreditch

£1,950,000
Freehold

This fine, five floor, French silk weaver's townhouse was built in 1721 by
Marmaduke Smyth and lies in the heart of the Spitalfields conservation area.
It was meticulously restored ten years ago from a state of dereliction by
its architect owner, and is now considered one of the finest houses in this
unique neighbourhood.

The ground floor is fully panelled with working fireplaces and two reception
rooms, and opens out on to a courtyard garden with a free standing Victorian
work shop.

The basement contains a fitted kitchen complete with an 18th Century vaulted
wine cellar to the rear, and a dining room to the front with open fireplace.

On the first floor there is a panelled drawing room with working fireplace,
and large Georgian sash windows overlooking the listed buildings of
Princelet Street, and the majestic spire of Nicholas Hawksmoor's Grade 1
listed Christ Church beyond. There is also a double bedroom with working
fireplace at this level.

The second and third floors contain generous panelled bedrooms with working
fireplaces and en suite bathrooms.

Throughout the property there are broad, hand cut Georgian floorboards. The
staircase is of especially high quality with hand turned spindles.

In the garden a Victorian workshop has been retained and refurbished, and is
currently used as a gallery. It has a high vaulted ceiling, and separate
w.c. with plumbing for a kitchen. It's every teenager's dream.

Spitalfields is one of the most fashionable yet elegant areas in central
London - and house prices here reflect this although they are still a long
way off the West End levels being seen very close by in various parts of The
City. The neighbourhood is full of fine restaurants (including the multiple
award winning St John's). Cinemas are within walking distance. And the
transport links are excellent with Liverpool Street and Shoreditch stations
both a short walk away.
