A veritable cabinet of curiosities, this extraordinary Grade II-listed home tells a story at every turn. A real hidden gem, it's just off lively Mile End Road, tucked away behind wisteria and ivy-clad cast-iron railings. Private walled gardens add to the sense that you’re discovering a secret hideaway. The house was built in 1741 and rescued by the Spitalfields Trust before being purchased by a pair of collectors, one a British historian, and the other a landscape gardener. They poured their expertise, passion, and care into restoring every inch of this four-storey treasure trove, carefully applying layers of thin paints and chalks to the lime plaster walls – keep an eye out for the ornate chimneypiece that once had a home in the notorious Tom King’s Coffee House.
