This charming former furniture makers’ workshop forms part of a terrace of locally listed Victorian buildings, set on a quiet cobbled street between Shoreditch and Columbia Road. The house has been lovingly restored and converted to create a series of serene interior spaces set across three generously-proportioned floors. The house extends over 1,000 ft internally and has direct access outside from the kitchen.

This quiet and coveted part of Shoreditch has a long history of small industry, furniture making and weaving. The house proudly retains many materials from its industrial origins, blending exposed brick walls and stripped-wood flooring with considered interventions and a craft-inspired modern aesthetic.

Entry is to the ground floor, where a lobby opens into the kitchen and dining room. This is an incredibly welcoming space, warmed by a wood burner set in the original fireplace at one end. There are large sash windows set along two aspects, ensuring that the space is bathed in light throughout the day. The walls were treated with lime and historic and non-toxic paints have been used where possible, in keeping with the house’s elegant period form. Each element of the kitchen has been carefully considered, with stainless steel worktops, cast-iron radiators and bespoke cabinetry and a utility room set either side of the fireplace.

The first floor has a soaring mono-pitch wood-clad ceiling and is currently arranged as an elegant living room. Original floorboards run throughout, and this space is enveloped in red bare-brick walls. There is a well-conceived mezzanine bed with a skylight, set atop a sturdy set of industrial stairs, that makes the best of the room’s volume. Below it is a shower-room and large in-built wardrobe.

On the lower ground floor, there is a cosy bedroom and a large en-suite bathroom, separated by elegant bespoke joinery. There are good ceiling heights throughout the house, and this space has a calm sense of retreat, with ambient daylight from the skylights to the street above. Underfloor heating warms the concrete floors underfoot.

Padbury Court is a residential street positioned at the very northern end of Brick Lane, close to Columbia Road, Redchurch Street, and Arnold Circus. This exciting and constantly evolving area has an excellent selection of shops, restaurants and pubs. Shoreditch House, Rochelle Canteen Lyle’s, Sager & Wilde and Morito are all just a few minutes’ walk. Columbia Road has a very popular flower market every Sunday. The green open spaces of Weavers Fields are also close by.

The house is equidistant to Shoreditch High Street station (London Overground) and Bethnal Green station (Central Line), and approximately a mile from Liverpool Street station (Central, Circle, Hammersmith & City and Metropolitan Lines) and the City.
