Imposing four storey mid-Victorian town house with a wealth of original features on a quiet pedestrian only terrace.
The house was built in the 1850/60’s. It is surrounded by green spaces, in front is St Thomas’s burial
ground, a public park for many years with large beautiful mature trees and lawns. Immediately
behind is St Thomas’s recreation ground, a walled green space, and at the start of the terrace is St
Thomas’s Square park. London Fields is a short walk away as is the trendy Broadway Market and
Victoria Park Village. Transport links are excellent with many buses stopping at the square, Bethnall
Green Central Line tube is 10 minutes, London Fields Station is 2 minutes and Hackney Central is 5/6
minutes. Mare Street and Well Street have numerous bars, cafes, restaurants, shops and
supermarkets.
The house is set over four floors, entry being by the original elegant large front door leading to the
ground floor corridor which has original coving. Off this are two reception rooms with the original
stripped shutters separated by a pair of stripped and waxed double doors. Both
rooms have fireplaces and one has original coving. The corridor finishes at the ground floor
cloakroom and the rear door to the lovely patio garden which is covered with York Stone with much
greenery, outside electric sockets and water tap.
A short staircase leads from the ground floor corridor to the lower ground floor which is currently
used as a large kitchen diner and entertaining area. This area was properly ‘tanked’ to ensure that it
is dry. There is a fireplace and cupboard containing the utilities and there are original shutters.
On the first floor are two bedrooms, the front bedroom being the largest room with large windows
overlooking the front park. The rear bedroom overlooks the beautiful recreation ground.
On the second floor is another large bedroom and a modern bathroom complete with glass shower
cubicle, bath, sink and wc. There are two lofts, one accessed through the bathroom and the other
from the second floor landing.
The house is fully centrally heated and partially double glazed. There is a working burglar alarm. The
current layout is very flexible and can be easily altered to suit different lifestyles and needs. Other
properties in St Thomas’s Place have had extensions added, subject to planning permission.
