Features and description

  • South west facing garden
  • Extensive storage
  • Family bathroom
  • Two generously sized bedrooms
  • Large storage shed
  • Fantastic transport links

This bright two bedroom maisonette in Stepney Green features a large, south-west facing garden and an abundance of clever storage throughout.

A dual-aspect maisonette is arranged over two floors, creating a layout that feels more like a house than a flat. The ground floor features a separate, well-planned kitchen with white cabinetry and integrated appliances, leading through to a generous reception room. This living space is defined by floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors that open onto a private, south-west facing garden - a quiet, sunny spot that feels like a natural extension of the room. Throughout the entire ground floor, bamboo flooring provides a warm tone and tactile feel underfoot, creating a seamless sense of continuity between the space.

Practicality is woven throughout the plan, from the bespoke storage cupboards tucked under the stairs to the accompanying dining nook. On the half-landing, a full-height storage wall provides practical space for books or belongings without taking up room in the main living areas. Upstairs, the two large double bedrooms are finished with white wooden flooring, with the primary bedroom featuring integrated wardrobes. A sleek, contemporary bathroom completes the floor, while large windows throughout ensure the entire home is balanced and bright.

Area

The property is perfectly located on the cusp of the Carlton Square conservation area and for the amenities of Stepney Green, as well as various popular east London spots, including Bethnal Green which offers numerous bars, restaurants, and shops. The green open spaces of Meath Gardens, Carlton Square and Mile End Park as well as the Regent’s Canal towpath are also close by.

Several nearby transport links allow easy access into Stratford, The City, and Canary Wharf. Stepney Green underground station provides the District and Hammersmith & City lines, which connect to the Elizabeth Line at Whitechapel just one stop west. For the Central Line, while you can travel one stop east to Mile End, Bethnal Green tube station is only a 10- minute walk away, providing a more direct alternative. A number of well-connected bus routes run from Globe Road and Mile End Road, and there are several Santander cycle stands close by. Beyond commuting, the location offers a scenic lifestyle with a short cycle or walk along the canal to Victoria Park, QE2 Olympic Park, and Broadway Market.

Independent  Estate Agent Specialising solely in East London Sales and Lettings. Why Easthaus The quality of properties in East London has improved dramatically over recent years, but the quality of service from local agents has not kept pace with that progress…until now. Easthaus was created to bridge the gap between traditional estate agency and online agencies. We have an office in E9, we simply do not have a shop front. This means we are able to offer much more competitive fees than most other local agents.   We qualify all applicants We conduct all the viewings  We negotiate offers on your behalf and we see the offers through to completion We recognise being open for longer is crucial in meeting the needs of clients and customers alike and therefore try to be as flexible as possible with viewing times to be able to cover early mornings, evenings and weekends. With 90% of property searches starting online, we are committed to ensuring your property receives maximum exposure by utilising a full range of digital platforms What Makes Easthaus Different?  Selling or buying a home can be an emotive time but it doesn’t have to be stressful and neither does finding an apartment to rent or preparing your house to let – at Easthaus, customer service is paramount. It is of course very easy to say we put our clients first…many estate agents make this claim on their websites but from what we have seen do not put this in to practice. We believe in a transparent approach to agency; our fees are clear and competitive, we do not have hidden costs within our terms of business and we will provide full and frank feedback from viewings. You will have proactive property professionals with award winning  and record setting real estate backgrounds, endeavouring to achieve the best possible price within your given timeframes. The Easthaus philosophy is very simple:  If you provide an unsurpassed level of service to your clients and offer considered and honest advice, the best possible price is naturally achieved.
