Bernhard Baron House, Henriques St, London, E1

Spacious split level penthouse apartment located on the fourth/fifth floors of this sought-after school conversion in Aldgate East. Bernhard Baron House, built in the year 1919, is named after a successful tobacco manufacturer and in later life a philanthropist, whose trust funded the construction. This handsome red brick period building was originally purposed as a synagogue and accommodation for Jewish Settlers in the East End, later used as a school with capacity for 1,000 pupils. In recent times it was converted into modern apartments and is currently a sought after building in the area thanks to its period features and history. Accommodation comprises an impressive open plan living room with wooden floors and floor-to-ceiling glass doors giving direct access to a good size terrace. The modern open plan kitchen is equipped with top of the range Miele appliances and flows from the reception area. Those areas deliver a fantastic entertaining area. In addition, on this floor there is a large bedroom and one bathroom. On the lower level we find a very large master bedroom with en-suite bathroom. The property is ideally located close to the Aldgate regeneration area and within walking distance to the City and only a short walk from the Tower of London and Tower Bridge. The picturesque St Katharine's dock is only a short stroll away offering a delightful array of restaurants, cafes and pubs and benefits from easy access to the vibrant Brick Lane, Spitalfields Market and the Whitechapel Art Gallery.
