Symons House presents a rare opportunity to acquire a freehold residential investment in one of London’s most exciting City fringe locations.


Situated moments from Aldgate and Whitechapel, this elegant period property offers a secure, long-term income stream and excellent capital growth potential.


Originally constructed circa 1800 and sensitively converted into modern residential apartments, Symons House combines historic character with contemporary living across 13 well-proportioned flats. The property benefits from a large communal roof terrace offering panoramic views across London.

The property comprises 13 self-contained apartments (1 x one-bedroom, 6 x two-bedroom, and 6 x three-bedroom units) arranged across two interlinked buildings.

  • 10 apartments are currently let on a commercial lease to Anglo American Educational Services (AAES), a well-established education and accommodation provider.
  • 3 apartments have been sold off on long leases, generating additional ground rent income.

The accommodation extends to approximately 10,945 sq ft (1,017 sq m) of internal space across lower ground, ground, and five upper floors.

  • Current income: £463,500 per annum
  • Rising annually to: £522,000 per annum by Year 5
  • Additional ground rent income: £1,700 per annum

  • Lease expiry: June 2030
  • Freehold interest subject to existing leases
Perfectly positioned in the heart of Aldgate, E1, the property enjoys superb transport connectivity — just 320 metres from Aldgate Underground Station (Circle & Metropolitan lines) and a short walk to Aldgate East, Tower Hill, and Whitechapel (Elizabeth Line).

The surrounding area offers an abundance of amenities, from the boutiques and restaurants of Spitalfields Market to the vibrant culture of Brick Lane and Whitechapel Gallery. The City of London is only moments away, making this a highly desirable location for both residents and occupiers
