1 bedroom apartment for sale

A one bedroom apartment set on the 5th floor of sought-after Keeling House - a stunning example of a Brutalist residential building with a Grade II* Listed status in acknowledgement of its architectural significance.

In good decorative order throughout, the apartment comprises an open plan living space with a modern kitchen with integrated appliances and east facing views towards Canary Wharf. The contemporary kitchen was installed in 2021 with all new appliances and the wood floors were resanded and varnished in 2023. The space benefits from secondary glazing, and the current owner carried out important upgrade works to the electrics in 2023 with new light fittings, sockets and switches. The double bedroom has recently fitted carpet and west facing windows on to Claredale Street with its picturesque red brick buildings.

This clean and contemporary space has benefitted from repainting within the last 12 months.

Built circa 1954, Keeling House was designed by one of Britain’s great architects - Denys Lasdun. The building was given a Grade II* listing in 1993 and the building was renovated by Munkenbeck + Marshall architects in 2001. Approached via a set of secure gates, the building is manned by superb day porter Graham. Keeling House has a communal courtyard with two water features, secure cycle storage and car parking area (undesignated). There is lift access, with each floor further secured with individual floor door codes.

The building is on the cusp of completing an extensive programme of repairs and upgrade works, and an incoming owner will benefit from these works without any disruption or costs as all costs have been paid for by the current owner.
