This wonderful two-bedroom townhouse, a former shop in Bethnal Green, unfolds across three levels. A pared-back material palette of exposed brick and wooden floors defines the cleverly conceived house, which is set in the heart of east London. Designed by architect Steve Jensen, it also has two courtyards and a roof terrace. Positioned in the Globe Road conservation area, it is a short walk from Spitalfields Market, the restaurants of Whitechapel and a 20-minute walk from Shoreditch.
