Quietly situated in the Medway conservation area, this one-bedroom apartment with exciting double-height accommodation is housed in the former gymnasium of a converted school dating back to 1860.

The flat is entered on the first floor. It has a favourable position in the building, with walls that don’t abut any of the neighbouring apartments.

Upon entering, there is a hallway with coat storage, and a modern bathroom to one side. The wonderful reception room has ceilings almost 5m in height, with huge south-facing sash windows looking onto an Assembly Hall and an Arts & Crafts building. It retains the original parquet floor of the gymnasium, with a wall of full-height shelving at one end and a storage cupboard beneath the stairs.

The kitchen is situated on the mezzanine, and the sleeping area is alongside, with the two spaces separated by a curtain. The apartment was refurbished approximately three years ago by the designer Thomas Downes.

There is a bicycle store on the ground floor of the building. Major works have recently been completed, including external redecoration and roof repairs.

The apartment has a peaceful location along a tree-lined residential street, close to the amenities of Roman Road. Mile End station (Central Line, District and Hammersmith & City) is a short walk away to the south, and the open spaces of Victoria Park are just to the north.
