Eric Street, Mile End, London, E3

A double-fronted Victorian freehold home set within the Ropery Street Conservation area, and which has been inventively and sympathetically designed and refurbished by its previous architect owner, and well maintained and cared for by the current owner.

An inviting aesthetic which blends period features including parquet flooring, cast iron fireplaces and timber sash windows with more contemporary finishes including polished concrete flooring, birch faced ply cabinetry and steel appliances. It also has an impressive array of hidden mechanical and electrical benefits including a fully tanked basement, smart home technology, and full rewiring & re-plumbing within the last 10 years, as well as LED lighting throughout, and programmable heating via the Heatmiser app.
Offering a great flow of accommodation and well proportioned rooms throughout, the ground floor comprises a generous double reception room with beautiful solid mahogany parquet flooring, feature cast iron fireplaces at either end of the room - one benefitting from a Salamander multi fuel stove (able to burn wood, coal or eco logs), bespoke fitted cabinetry and large natural timber framed sash windows, both standard and bay fronted.
French doors lead out to the decked courtyard garden with a westerly aspect, attracting sun during the afternoon and evening. Wonderful for entertaining, the spaces have a lovely feeling of connection with the kitchen, benefitting from a patio door out to the courtyard, as well as a bay window with views on to it. The bespoke kitchen has plenty of natural light, ample space for dining, a mix of fitted cabinets with heat resistant quartz counter tops and open shelving, a Britannia range cooker and Fisher & Paykel large fridge/freezer.
The house is naturally ventilated, with smart home technology - the large skylight on the landing has a rain sensor, and the skylight opens on demand or if the ambient temperature reaches a pre-set amount.
On the first floor there are two spacious double bedrooms, with fitted wardrobes and built in desks, ideal for home working, or as dressing tables. Both benefit from east facing windows bringing in morning light, cast iron fireplaces and reclaimed timber floorboards.
Bedroom three has views over the courtyard, reclaimed pine floors, bespoke cabinetry and shelving, as well as a fitted single bed with storage underneath.
The first floor bathroom features a large skylight above the bath, Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec tiling, underfloor heating and twin sinks with a heated, mirrored cabinet above with built in speakers and Bluetooth functionality.
There are loft hatches dotted throughout the first floor, the one in the bathroom houses the smart boiler & mega-flow water tank (with plenty of additional storage space).
The lower ground floor is truly a standout space, it has impressive ceiling height and has been fitted with certified Delta membrane cavity drainage with twin pumps, and a backup installed in the external light well, as well as water fed underfloor heating with polished concrete floors. This floor comprises a large double bedroom which is currently used as a home office and library (the open bookshelves could be easily converted into bedroom storage). The room has patio doors leading out to a Moroccan tiled light well providing natural light and ventilation (as well as a fire escape to ensure it is Building Control compliant).
The lower ground floor also houses a utility area with generous floor to ceiling cupboards providing a pantry, washing machine & dryer. There is bespoke racking, a built in ironing board and clothes drying rail. There is a cupboard under the stairs.
The second bathroom is accessed via the utility area, and is cork lined and mechanically ventilated, with white mosaic tiles, concrete floor and further hidden storage.
The current owner has recently had the façade redecorated with woodwork repaired and restored, as well as re-oiling the decking, and repainting the walls and bay window in the rear courtyard.
