Brilliantly located in the heart of Bethnal Green, this 19th-century former workshop is now a four-bedroom house of exceptional character, scale and versatility. Originally built by brothers Henry and Charles Winkley as a metalwork factory for the surrounding cabinet makers and upholsterers, 1 Winkley Street holds wonderful historic value.

The house spans over 4,700 sq ft, with lofty, warehouse-style spaces enhanced by exposed brick throughout. Retaining all the hallmarks of the original warehouse, the space was cleverly reconfigured to respond to the original fabric of the building. Both private and modest, the façade offers little indication of the scale within.

The house is accessed via a private entrance, entered through a sizeable cloakroom and opening to the vast ground level. This floor is predominantly open plan with the study, gym, utility room and guest shower room separated by wonderful floor to ceiling crittall-style glass partitions..

Sleeping areas are naturally suited to the first floor. Here, soaring ceilings, original timber beams and wooden flooring are flooded with light from dual aspect windows. The principal bedroom suite is lit by large french doors leading directly out onto the private terrace. Bespoke cabinetry in the walk-in wardrobe and large en-suite enhance this living space.
An elegant guest bedroom with en-suite equally benefits from direct access to the terrace. The two further bedrooms; both share a large family bathroom on this floor. The self-contained and sizeable terrace provides shelter from the wind, whilst allowing the sun to project in throughout the day.

Reached via an elegant open-tread staircase, and occupying the entire second floor is the open planned kitchen and living room. Here, exposed beams ascend the five metre high ceilings, where the space is filled with natural light from surrounding windows and skylight. This rare expanse of lateral living offers an incredible space for dining and entertaining.
The stainless steel kitchen with integrated La Cornue appliances traverse the back of the room, delivering versatility and quality of that found in Michelin Star restaurant. Extending from the principal kitchen is the prep kitchen, fully equipped with second oven, sink and open storage. Outside is a further cooking delight; an Argentinian Asado grill, offering a wood-fired cooking experience. Expansive and voluminous, the living space offers plenty of scope for multiple configurations.

The immediate area is renowned for its vibrant culinary scene with The Marksman, Brawn, Morito, Rogues and Campania close by. Ozone is a popular spot for morning coffee and weekend brunch.
Columbia Road is within short walking distance, with its strip of well-preserved independent shops and a world-renowned flower market on Sundays. Broadway Market is equally within walking distance and boasts a strong reputation for its excellent restaurants and weekend markets. Spitalfields, Brick Lane and Shoreditch are all easily accessible from this property.
Green spaces don't fall short, with Haggerton Park and Victoria Park close by, and London Fields and it’s Lido near too. The transport links of Cambridge Heath Overground and Bethnal Green Underground Station (Central Line) offer direct links into Liverpool street and into central London.
