2 bedroom apartment for sale

A charming 2 bedroom split level apartment with private south west facing balcony set on the first and second floors of the iconic Keeling House in Bethnal Green.

The apartment comprises an entrance hallway with large utility cupboard, the kitchen / dining and entertaining space is open plan with a private south west facing balcony. Upstairs there is a further hallway storage cupboard, two double bedrooms and a family bathroom.

Recent external works to the building were completed in 2024, with costs fully covered by the current owner.

Designed in the 1950s by famed modernist architect Denys Lasdun (also behind the National Theatre), Keeling House was recognised for its architectural significance with a Grade II* Listed status in 1993, the building was then sympathetically restored in 2001 by Munkenbeck + Marshall and remains one of the area’s most sought-after residential landmarks.

Securely accessed via gated entry and with the warm welcome of long-standing daytime porters Graham and Rais, the communal spaces here feel both cared for and quietly impressive. The ground-floor courtyard features tranquil water gardens, secure bike storage, and lift access to all floors—with additional security via coded entry to each individual floor.
