1 Bed Flat, Alie St, E1

Private landlord-managed property with no admin, referencing or evil 'key' fees!

This flat is most suitable for a professional single person or couple.

UNIQUE! Live in zone one in a beautiful historic building filled with light on the City Fringe a few minutes walk from Brick Lane, but tucked away in a courtyard behind its sister converted school. The first time on the rental market ever!

The flat cannot be seen on Street View as it is behind the red brick old school in the photo.

Refurbished to the highest standards with intelligent hot water system (that knows when you are in residence or away!); underfloor heating and a top-quality wood floor in the bottom half of the Grade II listed Venetian Gothic 'Chapel' set in a secluded courtyard behind locked gates on Alie St in the midst of all that E1 has to offer.  A one minute walk to the Zone One Aldgate East tube; five minutes to Brick Lane and ten to the Tower and the river this location has to be one of the best in London. 

The flat has been totally refurbished from shell state with tons of insulation; underfloor heating, gorgeous oak floor; chrome sockets including USB points; dimmable lighting and highest quality kitchen (including dishwasher) and beautiful bathroom with a large bath and rainfall shower head and removable shower attachment.  

It is furnished with a Dwell leather sofa and a table and chair set with two oak chests of drawers. The high gloss kitchen is fully-fitted with large fridge-freezer; dishwasher; wood worktop and under-cupboard lighting. Extra-high cupboards to give more kitchen storage.

There are four vast original windows (shutters being custom-made at the moment) in the living area and one in the bedroom meaning that the flat, facing South and West, is always filled with light. The very high ceiling makes the flat even more light and airy.

Bespoke wooden shutters are on order but a bedroom blind will be fitted until these are made.

The bedroom is compact and furnished with a bedroom set with an ottoman storage bed and a Habitat wardrobe rail.

Above the bedroom and bathroom is a void area that gives a lot of useful storage space not normally available in a central London flat.

There is also a very handy utility room which houses the washing machine and dryer with plenty of room for other items that you need to hide away.

The deluxe bathroom has underfloor heating; a generous bath with overhead rainfall shower and hand-held shower attachment. There is an illuminated mirror and top-quality heated chrome towel rail.

The building dates from 1846 and overlooks the oldest German church in the country dating from 1766. 'The Chapel' was the infant school of St George's Lutheran Church which boasts an important and fascinating history.  The church is no longer in operation except for occasional events and is under the care of the Church Conservation Trust.  

At the other side of the courtyard is the larger school built in 1877 which is now 10 flats and these flats and the church have rights of access over the courtyard to the bin store which is located next to the Chapel, but there is a dedicated outside space for the Chapel only. There is a fantastic Conran Shop concrete table and benches and suggest that this is shared with the other flat (to be completed later); perhaps on an alternative-day basis.

Please reply with as much information as possible about yourselves and your work status and when you would like to move.

The flat is virtually finished; we are waiting for the custom-made hardwood shutters but are showing it now to give new tenants time to give notice. There will be blinds fitted into the bedroom whilst waiting for the shutters to be made. This property is ideal for a professional couple who are looking for a beautiful base which in the centre of everything but secluded from the hubbub.  

I have a good relationship with the owners and tenants of the other flats in the development so are looking for people who will be respectful of the building and their neighbours.
