RARE OPPORTUNITY<br /><br />The apartment is meticulously designed with unique features, including custom-made Verdigris copper light switches, sockets, and bronze-style door handles. A standout feature is the original and rare 1960s Preway fireplace imported from the US, converted to smoke-free, eco-friendly bioethanol.<br /><br />The main reception room, with high ceilings, stretches 38'9 feet long and features original industrial steel columns, distressed wood flooring, and three large warehouse-style windows. There's a glass-brick wall between the main room and the bedroom, and the dining area is panelled with wood from the famed Ogilvy & Mather Ad Agency, likely designed by David Linley. Three industrial-style radiators provide heating, while retro gallery-style track lighting and a vintage three-bulb pendant light add ambiance.<br /><br />The kitchen and bathroom are fully tiled in white metro tiles with natural slate floors. The kitchen overlooks the garden and includes a stainless steel work surface, industrial double sinks, a built-in washing machine, space for a dishwasher, LED recessed lighting, an induction hob, and a brand-new oven.<br /><br />The bright, double-aspect bedroom offers ample wardrobe space, a vintage-style radiator, and direct access to both the garden and the parking area in the gated mews.<br /><br />The spacious bathroom features an antique cast-iron bath with ball-and-claw feet, a vintage-style raindrop showerhead, a classic sink, a low WC, chrome fittings, and a heated towel rail.<br /><br />Adjacent to the kitchen is a study, accessible through a vintage '70s rippled glass door. This room has wood flooring, recessed LED lighting, retro-style chrome light switches, and sockets with USB ports. A ceiling hatch with a dropdown ladder leads to a large upper loft room, currently used for storage, with potential for various uses. There's also an additional 10-foot storage cupboard.<br /><br />This boutique development offers a designated secure parking space and 24/7 on-site rubbish disposal.<br /><br />The loft is excellently connected, with the new Elizabeth line offering rapid travel times: 4 minutes to Canary Wharf, 9 minutes to Tottenham Court Road, and 40 minutes to Heathrow. Bethnal Green and Whitechapel underground stations are just a five-minute walk away.
