New family home? Converted pub with rich history for sale in Shoreditch
This converted pub for sale on Shoreditch's Vallance Road boasts a fascinating history.
Located between Whitechapel and Bethnal Green, the building dates back to the late 1800s and was later occupied by philanthropist Mary Hughes, who turned it into a centre for education, Christian socialism and trade unionism. A blue plaque honours her work, inscribed with the words 'friend of all in need'.
The versatile home is arranged over four floors. On the ground floor you'll find a large reception room and one of three bright bedrooms. Meanwhile, the kitchen, dining area, and study are situated on the first floor. The lower ground floor is home to another large bedroom, currently used as a home gym, as well as a utility room and bathroom.
Described by agents as 'something out of the ordinary', highlights include wooden floors, the original spiral staircase, light-filled rooms, brick walls, and three terraces offering stunning views over the city skyline. The interiors have been kept neutral, but this gives new owners the chance to put their own stamp on the place.
'This property has a wonderfully rich history and offers a style of living that would be ideal for someone wanting to pursue their passions from home – whether that's art, music, photography or textiles – given the excellent studio space available,' says Nick Verdi, head of Savills Shoreditch office.
'There's the added benefit of not one but three outside areas, which would allow a buyer to entertain family and friends outside during the summer months or grow plants to create an inner city oasis.'
The home is positioned within easy reach of Spitalfields market, Brick Lane and Columbia Road Flower Market. From buzzy restaurants to charming independent shops, there is plenty to enjoy locally.
This property is on the market for £1,500,000 with Savills.
