2 bed flat for sale

Keeling House, Claredale Street, Bethnal Green E2

Set on the 3rd and 4th floors of the iconic Keeling House, this well-maintained two-bedroom duplex offers south-facing views from a private balcony, and a front-row seat to one of East London’s most architecturally revered addresses.

Designed in the 1950s by the legendary Denys Lasdun (also behind the National Theatre), Keeling House is a bold and striking example of post-war modernism. Recognised for its architectural significance with Grade II* Listed status, the building was sympathetically restored in 2001 by Munkenbeck + Marshall and remains one of the area’s most sought-after residential landmarks.

Securely accessed via gated entry and with the warm welcome of long-standing daytime porters Graham and Rais, the communal spaces here feel both cared for and quietly impressive. The ground-floor courtyard features tranquil water gardens, secure bike storage, and lift access to all floors—with additional security via coded entry to each individual floor.

Inside, the apartment comprises an entrance hallway with large storage cupboard, an open plan kitchen and living room leading to a south-facing balcony offers uninterrupted views of the City skyline and the surrounding conservation area—particularly magical as the sunrises and sets each day. Upstairs there is a further hallway storage cupboard, two double bedrooms and a family bathroom.

Recent external works to the building were completed in 2024, with costs fully covered by the current owner.

Perfectly placed between Bethnal Green and Hackney, you’re surrounded by some of East London’s best independent cafes, bars and restaurants. Ozone on Emma Street is a firm favourite for brunch, while The Common (Old Bethnal Green Road) for coffee and pastries, and The Marksman (Hackney Road) serve up excellent coffee. Broadway Market, Columbia Road, and Regent’s Canal are all within easy strolling distance, with green escapes like Victoria Park and London Fields nearby.

Transport links are excellent, with Cambridge Heath Overground just 0.2 miles away, and Bethnal Green Underground (Central Line) within 0.4 miles.
