Description
A unique studio apartment on the ground floor of a new building in Forest Gate, designed by Marcus Lee, formerly a director at the Richard Rogers Partnership. The accommodation benefits from its own private entrance and comprises a spacious open-plan room with a fitted plywood kitchen, a sleeping area, and a large en-suite bathroom with a walk-in shower. Polished concrete floors with underfloor heating run throughout.

The interior uses a rich palette of raw material, including wood, metal, exposed brick and concrete to create an industrial and warehouse feel. There is ample storage including floor-to-ceiling built-in cupboards, as well as a hallway with additional storage including room for bikes. The apartment also boasts a private walled garden.

Sprowston Mews is located five minutes walk from Forest Gate train station, and is home to an emerging creative community of architects and self-builders, inspired by the experimental mews house-building of the 1960s, such as Murray Mews in Camden.
