Care of its sixth-storey position, this three-bedroom apartment in Bethnal Green is exceptionally bright and airy. It sits between Bethnal Green Underground/Overground and Whitechapel stations and is within easy walking distance of some of east London's best-loved green spaces, including Victoria Park and London Fields. Arranged in an open plan, the living spaces give way to a south-easterly balcony with far-reaching views across the surrounding area.
The Tour
The recipient of a RIBA London Regional Award in 2015, Bahram Court is tucked down a quieter road. Accessed either via staircase or lift, the front door opens onto a spacious central hallway from which each room fans out. Built-in cupboards provide ample space for coats and shoes.
On the left, the living, dining and kitchen spaces unfold, arranged in a predominantly open plan. Full-height glazing slides out to a balcony and to a light-filled winter garden that makes for a wonderful reading nook. Engineered oak floorboards ground the entire room, guiding towards the kitchen with its generous bank of white cabinetry. A sleek resin-bound natural quartz countertop provides plenty of storage space and appliances, including an oven, stove, dishwasher, fridge-freezer, are neatly integrated, while the washing machine has been tucked into a separate cupboard.
All three of the bedrooms are on the westerly side of the plan. Two are of similarly spacious proportions, and all three have expansive views. A navy-painted waist-height panel hugs the principal bedroom - a striking contrast with the white used above. The third sage-painted double bedroom is currently used as a guest room and study.
The bathroom lies near the entrance and has monochromatic tiles and a waterfall shower fitted above the bath. There is also a separate second WC.
Outdoor Space
A long balcony opens out from the living spaces, with plenty of room for a table and chairs as well as potted plants. The views are exquisite, stretching as far as Canary Wharf on a clear day.
The Area
The apartment is well situated for the best of Bethnal Green. Popular haunts like E Pellicci, The Sun, Coupette and Satan's Whiskers are a short distance away, as are pubs The Approach Tavern, The Camel (which serves delicious pies), restaurant Bistrotheque and coffee shop O-Zone. Slightly further afield but still an easy walk from the apartment are Hackney Road, London Fields/Broadway Market, Columbia Road and Mare Street.
Weavers Fields and Bethnal Green Gardens are near equidistant from the apartment. Victoria Park - one of London's finest green spaces - is a stroll to the east, a walk that also passes the Regent's Canal footpath. Bakery Pavilion sits within the park's perimeter and has become known for its delicious buns and coffee.
Bethnal Green Underground (Central line) and Overground (Weaver line) are equidistant in opposite directions, around five minutes' walk away. Whitechapel station is also easily reached for Elizabeth, District and Hammersmith and City lines. There are also good bus and cycles links, while the City can be reached on foot.
