Industrial revelations: Three former factories and workshops for sale right now and another heading our way soon…

We head to the not so far east and not so deep south of London to visit some exceptional unique homes for sale after having been repurposed for family life but retaining that all important industrial heritage.

1. A Former piano workshop with serious style

The ancient, cobbled streets of Peary Place in Bethnal Green are a fitting scene for this elegantly preserved and dramatically proportioned freehold property. Stylish interiors and industrial heritage are drawn together over three levels creating an environment that’s open to interpretation, whether it’s simply a home or an exciting place to live and work.
