2 Bedroom House for sale in London, England for GBP £399,999

Designed by Sir Denys Lasdun and completed in 1957, Keeling house is a 16-storey Modernist block inspired by Le Corbusier, master of "urban cool" architecture. Conceived as a remedy to Victorian-era housing problems and flaws in the accepted Modernist solution of the 1950’s, Keeling house today stands as a monument to the revival in urban living and the increased popularity of the East End. To avoid dark corridors or long access balconies, flat are grouped in four slim towers around the central staircase and lift. Blocks are angled so that each flat has one side that was not overlooked, giving residence both privacy and superb views over The City and Canary Wharf. In 1993 English Heritage designated Keeling House as Grade II listed. This Two-bed apartment is arranged, duplex style, over the twelfth and thirteenth floors and offers entrance hall, good reception place to open plan kitchen and living area (plus a south facing balcony), with two double bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs. The property is, in our opinion, offered in very good condition and is well proportioned and appointed throughout. It is bright and has very good storage. There is the added benefit of secure off street parking and a porter. Communal parts are very well maintained and the entrance way and foyer are one of the best of London. Location wise, this a tranquil spot, close to shoreditch, Brick Lane, Colombia Road Flower Market, Broadway Market, and Victoria Park. Liverpool Street is just one stop away on the central line at Bethnal Green and Overground services can be found at Cambridge Heath station. Viewing, highly recommended, requires a modicum of notice.
