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.

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.
