This architect-designed East London apartment is a bright retreat with a story to tell. Once a workshop, it now pairs original features like large windows with designer furniture and vintage finds, creating a space that ticks all the boxes. The open-plan living area is perfect for unwinding after a day in the city, while a dedicated workspace makes it easy to catch up on emails. Set in vibrant Cambridge Heath, you're just a five-minute walk from Broadway Market's independent shops, bars and restaurants, with Victoria Park close by and Shoreditch and Hoxton within easy reach. With excellent transport links and a city farm nearby, it's a brilliant base for London adventures.
