Brune Street, London, E1

"We’ve absolutely loved living in Spitalfields and we’re sure the next owner will feel the same. Over the last six years we’ve put a lot of effort into creating a modern, homely atmosphere in our flat, whilst incorporating aspects from the local area into our space. The local amenities have inspired our lifestyle, with Saturday morning strolls to Borough Market, cheeky sweet treats from Ottolenghi, and regular meals at St John Bread and Wine inspiring our own cooking at home. With such excellent transport links, our flat quickly became the social hub for friends and family, and being only ten minutes from the office made the daily commute a real pleasure. We would stay forever if we could, but since becoming a family of three we have decided it’s time to move on to our next chapter.
It’s hard to emphasise the amount of time and effort we’ve spent making this flat a home. Many of the finishing touches and pieces of furniture have been made bespoke or handcrafted by us to fit the space perfectly and create multi-use zones that blend comfort, functionality and aesthetics. The Obsidian Green cabinets in the kitchen echo the tones of Spitalfields Market; the built-in bedroom wardrobe has insulation incorporated behind it so your clothes aren’t cold in winter; the bathroom makes use of integrated adaptable lighting to match the warmth of the day outside. The space and storage have been more than big enough to house us and our baby, whilst still hosting big parties and cooking for friends and family.
This is a special flat in a special area. We feel very lucky that the restaurants people travel to from all over the world know us by name and greet us like friends. There’s nowhere else we’d rather have spent our young adult lives, and we are excited to welcome the next owner into the local community."

This beautifully crafted one-bedroom apartment lies on the second floor of Carter House, part of the historic Holland Estate in Spitalfields. Moments from Liverpool Street and the vibrant energy of Shoreditch, the home is perfectly positioned to enjoy London’s most dynamic cultural and culinary scene while benefiting from the tranquillity and security of a gated community.

Carter House stands opposite the 1902 Jewish Soup Kitchen, a landmark of the area’s rich history. Built in the 1930s, the block reflects the architecture of its time with yellow-brick façades framed by red-brick detailing. Recent improvements, including secure perimeter fencing and forthcoming lift access, enhance the comfort and security of the estate.
Inside, the apartment unfolds from a welcoming hallway into a generous living space. The spacious bespoke kitchen — complete with integrated appliances, oak live-edge shelving, and brass detailing — connects seamlessly to the reception area.
Farrow & Ball colour schemes tie the spaces together in a palette that feels both modern and homely.
The bedroom is painted in Charleston Grey with integrated olive-green wardrobes and timber finishes, creating a calm and cohesive atmosphere. The bathroom and WC have recently been reimagined in a boutique style, with faux-concrete walls, solid-wood accents, and adaptable lighting. There are large utility cupboards for storage and washing facilities off the bathroom and hallway.
The apartment has been upgraded with modern heating, improved insulation, a high-security front door, and contemporary electrics, ensuring comfort and efficiency. Residents share access to landscaped communal gardens, allotments, secure bicycle storage, parking (on request), and children’s play areas.
