[@kimclarke5018]

This is beautiful. The fact that whomever owns it respected the history of this home and didn’t make it “modern”, absolutely was a brilliant move. It looks so much better.

Warmth and history emanate from every room of this house and love the squeaky floorboards. So nice to see an old house that hasn't had its guts ripped out and painted grey.

[@simonatuniquepropertycompany]

I couldn’t agree more.

[@BusyBob6971]

You’re right it’s not painted gray…….. it’s painted brown tan and beige.

[@terrioestreich4007]

Agree!

Yes, what is it with grey at the moment, the most drab flat colour 😶

@@sallyanneotton4348 as an agent dealing with lots of interesting spaces, it’s been refreshing to see more people going bold with colours. I think grey might be on the way out.

Used to work on Brick Lane & it was so sad so many of these types of houses being converted & modernised to point of soulless so glad to see a building been honoured such a dream home & beautifully kept.

[@simonatuniquepropertycompany]

Absolutely. Hope it brought back some good memories for you. Thanks for your comments.

[@linnulman7138]

I am besotted, speechless, infatuated. Never wanted to own a home til this moment. Light years out of my reach, and I'm ready to cry, but this vid has given me great enjoyment. May its owners cherish it.

[@simonatuniquepropertycompany]

Lovely comments thank you very much 🙏

[@isotopiary]

The way the owners listened to the house and responded with respectful sensitivity is to be applauded. The use of natural materials and timeless colours seem to straddle so many eras. The walls literally whisper with history and I love it. Thank you for showing us this magnificent house.

[@simonatuniquepropertycompany]

Absolutely! If only walls and floors could talk. Thank you for watching

[@TheFiown]

P E R F E C T I O N ! I have never been a money oriented person, it doesn't control my life choices (it sometimes should) and I generally have little respect for fortunes and those who have them BUT suddenly I would like to be rich enough to live in this incredible house that looks exactly like a home I would have chosen and curated! Thank you for allowing me in for a little time.

[@simonatuniquepropertycompany]

That’s so nice of you to say. It definitely has that feeling. Laid back and sophisticated but not showy.

[@t.s.507]

How refreshing to see an authentic Georgian townhouse "dans son jus"! Oozing character and charm - so unlike the modern renovations that strip everything away. Thanks for this tour.

[@simonatuniquepropertycompany]

appreciate the comment. It's perefct, right down to the squeeky floor boards...

[@PatsyStone73]

My partner’s ancestors were Spitalfields Silk Weavers, this is wonderful to imagine the space they would have lived and worked with their big families. The Owner did a great job, keeping so many authentic fixtures and fittings along with adding sympathetic wall colours.

[@gabrielascaife2029]

Stunning , respecting history 100% but yet so contemporary. Clever and incredible .

[@sylw9289]

A lovely home with loads of character! I am glad that they kept the character to this 303 year old home. Older homes have so much beauty of the past and creative design. Thank you.

[@janesalisbury3686]

Took my breath away. Thank you so much and to the owner for sharing his beautiful home with us.

[@simonatuniquepropertycompany]

[@icouldjustscream]

Over 300 years old, it's spectacular! I love it! I could cry when I see the soul of an old home destroyed to "update" it. This one is almost untouched. It's a treasure! I'm in Canada and very few houses remain that were built prior to 1800. Saint John, New Brunswick does have a few but a huge fire in 1877 destroyed most. Our house is 100+ years old with original floors, windows, woodwork, and fireplace. I love our creaky floors, treadworn stairs, and wavy bubbled window glass. It's old for Canada but would be considered almost brand new over there! Thank you for the tour.

[@simonatuniquepropertycompany]

Thanks for you comments. Your home sounds fab. Simon

[@r.m.alonzo7648]

If you are the type of person who has a great imagination and decorating comes naturally this could be turned into a really warm and inviting home. I wish I had those skills. Thanks for the tour.

[@lazygardens]

I can imagine it in the 1700s, with looms in the loft, silks for sale in the ground floor, designs tacked in a workroom, and someone cooking in the basement. I also have Huguenot ancestry, but they skipped England and went to Ireland for a couple of years and then to the colonies.

The layout and features (esp. in the kitchen) are almost identical to Dennis Severs' House, which by the looks of things, must be very close to this property indeed, perhaps even neighbours. Highly recommend a visit to anyone who loves history, esp. at Christmas time, when they do candlelit tours. This house is its twin!

[@simonatuniquepropertycompany]

Absolutely spot on, you clearly know the area. So pleased you like this house. You might be interested to learn that the other house in Princelet Street which was recently used for the, Christo exhibition was owned by the person who owns this house.
