This fantastic two-bedroom maisonette is positioned in Zander Court. It forms part of the Avebury Estate, a quiet, mid-century estate designed on behalf of the L.C.C. in 1967 around St Peters Church in Bethnal Green. The apartment has been the subject of a sensitive renovation by the current owners, who have introduced bold sections of colour alongside a carefully considered material palette and a newly created open-plan configuration.

The Estate

Zander Court forms part of the Avebury Estate, which was built in the wake of the Second World War on land that was heavily bombed during The Blitz. The residential blocks are formed around a church, one of the only structures in the immediate area still standing after 1945. St Peter’s Church was designed by the architect Edward Blore in 1838. Blore is known as the architect of significant public buildings around the world, including Buckingham Palace, Government House in Sydney and the Vorontsovsky Palace in Ukraine.

The Tour

The recent renovation has seen the creation of an open-plan kitchen, living and dining room, which is bathed in wonderful levels of natural light care of the full-height glazing and Juliet balcony. Engineered oak boards run underfoot, with bold sections of colour found in the blue-fronted kitchen units and green cupboard doors. These chime harmoniously with a sleek prevailing theme of white tiles and worktops, which surround a Bosch induction hob and integrated appliances. A long breakfast bar creates a natural divide between the dining and living areas. The living room is spacious and has windows on two aspects, with elevated views over the estate’s communal gardens.

The first floor comprises two large double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The staircase leading to this part of the house has been painted blue, to match the kitchen units, while the bedrooms have been designed in line with the sleek white theme of the lower floor. The main bedroom has white painted floorboards underfoot and built-in storage space; the other bedroom is currently configured as a study, with fitted wardrobes and shelves. The bathroom has cream-coloured plaster on the walls and white tiles throughout. There is further storage space on the landing.
