Great Expectations

Simon Stone

The festive blow out is nearly upon us so what better time to offer up some early gifts in the form of two highly anticipated unique homes for you to have on your radar before they hit the market in early 2025.

These homes, whilst not currently openly available, are possible to view on request to any serious house hunters, please contact, Simon Stone to discuss the detail, [email protected].

Historic Huguenot

This handsome facade is one of Spitalfields most researched homes. Details of ownership have been traced all the way back to its construction in the early 1700’s. Thankfully, its current custodian has honoured its heritage with sympathetically restored rooms across all five floors which total up at 2300 sq ft. But, uniquely, the features don’t just extend to the interiors, there’s a further 890 sq ft tucked away at the back of the lush rear garden. A separate two bedroom cottage is also included that’s currently producing a healthy rental income.

Architectural Inspiration

Its architect and artist owners purchased this 2700 Sq Ft school conversion in 1995 as a “stop gap” but loved the emerging East Dulwich scene so much, they stayed for 30 years! And frankly, once you’ve stepped over the threshold, it’s easy to see why. The voluminous space, just round the corner from Northcross Road Market and Lordship lane has been filled with drama and decadence in equal measure as only owners with creative backgrounds could do.

Both of these unique and historic homes are being looked after by Simon Stone and will be listed in the new year. However, if they look like the sort of place you’d be interested in, please get in touch 020 3987 1739 to discuss a pre-launch viewing.
