A two-bedroom, south-west facing duplex apartment on the 6th and 7th floors of Keeling House, one of East London’s most important modernist buildings, designed by Denys Lasdun and later restored by Munkenbeck + Marshall. The property is available to rent from 7th July.
The internal layout is split over two levels. Upon entering on the sixth floor, there is a practical utility cupboard immediately to the left. The main living space is an open-plan kitchen and sitting room, a bright, functional area with large windows that frame the skyline. The kitchen is finished with stainless steel splashback and integrated appliances. From here, a south-west facing balcony offers a quiet outdoor spot with direct views towards the towers of The City.
A staircase leads to the seventh floor, where a further storage cupboard is located on the left of the landing. The principal bedroom is a generous double with elevated views, while the second bedroom benefits from built-in shelving, making efficient use of the building's structural footprint.
The bathroom is simple, featuring white metro tiling and blue mosaic details. Throughout the flat, the neutral decor complements the original architectural lines, allowing the natural light to be the focus.
Keeling House is a secure gated development featuring a landscaped communal courtyard, indoor cycle storage, and a striking Grade II listed exterior. Residents are well looked after by attentive day porters Graham and Rais - true assets to the building and fondly regarded for their knowledgeable and friendly demeanours.
