Studio House Coate Street, London E2 £695,000 Freehold 
Introduction Accommodation History Download floorplan (pdf)
This outstanding live/work house, arranged over three floors with a large terrace and an internal courtyard, was designed by the acclaimed London architects Sergison Bates. Completed in 2004, the house is being offered for sale for the first time.
Although a single freehold, the building is currently configured as a top-floor apartment (with its own access and utilities metering) and two floors of separate living and working space. This arrangement can be maintained, or the house can be used as a whole. Some of the internal space of the property is currently designated as workspace.
This is a unique contemporary townhouse of exciting and intelligent design. The materials used both internally and externally (treated brick, sealed plaster walls, Douglas fir, plywood and steel mesh) situate the house within the urban context of its surroundings, whilst also creating a comfortable and charismatic home. The property is heated by gas-fired underfloor heating on first and second floors, and is fitted with bespoke kitchen and bathrooms that match the use of materials in the rest of the house. For more information about the architecture, please see the HISTORY section.
The house is situated on a quiet street off Hackney Road. Close to Liverpool Street and the City, it is within walking distance of the flower market at Columbia Road, the open green spaces of London Fields with its newly restored outdoor Lido, and the shops, bars, restaurants and organic market in Broadway Market. It is also within walking distance of Hoxton and Shoreditch, Brick Lane and Spitalfields, with their vibrant nightlife and Sunday markets. Public transport is provided by the Underground service from Bethnal Green or Old Street, frequent buses into the West End, Waterloo etc. from Hackney Road, and a train service from Cambridge Heath station that provides a direct link to Liverpool Street station.
