3 bedroom house to rent

Nestled down a cobbled street just off Brick Lane, Padbury Court is a handsome architecturally designed terrace house. Arranged over five light-filled floors, with three/four bedrooms, the house has a well-proportioned internal courtyard garden and retains a plethora of historical features. It forms part of a delightful terrace of mid-18th-century working dwellings and extends to c1700sqft internally. The original fabric of the house has been sympathetically preserved and restored by the current owners, using a palette of pale tones to create a warm, welcoming home.

Originally named Princes Street, Padbury Court has been a melting pot of craftsmen from the mid-18th to late-19th centuries. While Spitalfields is known for its grand merchant's houses, Padbury Court and the immediate area are of historical importance due to their few remaining workshops and dwellings where weavers pursued their trade.

Flanked by wrought-iron railings, a flight of stone steps leads to an elegantly proportioned entrance. Inside, the hallway has been opened into the adjoining drawing room. The home has been sympathetically modernised throughout. Stunning floorboards underfoot, adding a sense of openness and light throughout.

A central courtyard is the focal point of the main entertaining floor, an incredibly private space. An outstanding kitchen, reception room and utility room spans the entirety of the lower floor which leads out to another terrace. The first floor consists of the principal suite, built in storage and en-suite. The second floor benefits from two further bedrooms and a family bathroom. The top floor of the house is home to the large, tranquil main reception and needs to be seen to be fully appreciated. Uniquely designed windows ensure the space is bathed in light and has beautiful views of the surrounding area. Fixtures and fittings have been carefully designed.

Positioned within the Redchurch Street Conservation Area, Padbury Court and the surrounding area is of particularly special architectural and historical interest. In marked contrast to the openness and larger scale of the nearby Boundary Estate, the conservation area's character is marked by its low scale and small plots of narrow, red-brick buildings. Many exciting and historic structures remain in the area; The Owl & Pussy Cat Public House (formerly The Crown) has 17th-century origins, and the late-Victorian Knave of Hearts (now Les Trois Garcons) is nearby. There is also an arc of locally listed buildings on Padbury Court.

The small and narrow scale of the street gives the Redchurch Street Conservation Area a unique feel. A stone's throw away from Columbia Road, Hoxton Square and the City, this vibrant and ever-evolving area is within walking distance of Shoreditch House, Rochelle Canteen, Lyle's, Sager & Wilde and Morito.

The ever-popular Columbia Road flower market is recommended for a Sunday morning stroll, followed by the green open spaces of Weavers Fields, which are also close by. Spitalfields and Shoreditch offer further dining, entertainment, and shopping opportunities, with restaurants including Ottolenghi, Cecconi's, and St. John Bread & Wine.

Transport links are excellent; the house is equidistant to Shoreditch High Street station (London Overground) and Bethnal Green station (Central Line), and approximately a mile from Liverpool Street station (Central, Circle, Hammersmith & City and Metropolitan Lines) and the City.
