Very much agree. I would only hope that any future owner(s) would not do such a grave disservice to this gem, as to go in and tear it apart, in order to "modernize" it. That would be absolutely criminal.
It’s nigh on impossible to update because of its listed status. Even adding bathrooms (unless they were in place before it was listed in the 1960s) would have taken a huge amount of negotiation with the local council.
It’s crazy that these serene (and expensive) houses are a literal stone’s throw from the madness of Brick Lane and the rest of east london. What a massive privilege to be able to live in that area and have peace and quiet.
I have visited this iconic street twice when holidaying in London from Ireland. Once, unexpectedly, when on a Jack the Ripper tour with my teenage daughter in 2016. I was in awe of the historic houses..it felt we'd fallen through a wormhole into the past. My daughter died in 2018. I visited London again in 2023 with my young son.. i insisted we had to see Fournier St.. he was not amused or impressed 😊. I took a few 'snaps' of this very house. The history of Spitalfields absolutely fascinates me..the Huguenots and the Jewish immigration and subsequent migration. It was a pleasure viewing the interior of this beautiful house.
Many years ago I lost my 8-month-old baby boy after a car accident. Sorrow is a path you walk alone. Welcome to a special club no one wants to belong to - that of bereaved mothers. I gave birth to two children after I lost my baby. They each have their own place, but my first child's place can never be filled and remains his own. I too love London's historic places. This video was so exquisite. Thanx to Simon for putting it online. Warm greetings from South Africa.
@marlettevandermerwe7138 we understand each other 💔.. it's a continual sadness that we carry 24/7..no other grief compares. In the beginning it was unimaginable how life would be able to continue on, but it did. I could add much more, but this isn't the place. God bless you. ❤️ ..my desire to return to Fournier St in 2023 was to retrace my steps that I had walked with my daughter in 2016 .. she was really impressed with the architecture, unlike her brother in 2023 😊.
I came across your video just scrolling down on TH-cam , so glad I did I have subscribed and look forward to new videos and watching your old ones. Merry Christmas
Even through the video you can feel the history and the sense of past lives and stories. It makes me want to step inside and go back in time to see how the residents of the 1700s and 1800s lived in it, how they used the rooms, what they wore, how they spoke etc. Imagine how far into the future the 2000s woud have seemed to them. I bet the builders in 1726 never thought the house would still be standing and still lived in in 2024! Let alone that people all over the world coud see it from their own home through a moving image on a screen!
An incredible property on one of the most iconic streets in Spitalfields and probably in all of London. Whoever gets to purchase this house is very lucky indeed.
@@garywilliams7454let’s hope they do NOT fill it with stuffy museum pieces and actually live in like regular humans. A mix of pieces based on one’s taste and budget and needs is what any Georgian would have wanted. Nothing worse than the conceit of “period-appropriate furniture” for people living in the modern era. Our foreparents would have found that kind of austere historicism to be ridiculous. So should we.
@@davidserlin8097Couldn't agree more. Who wants a home full of period pieces, that nobody is able to relax or feel comfortable using? As long as future owners don't go into the purchase, planning to gut this beauty for the sake of "modernization", I believe that an eclectic collection of comfortable and functional furnishings, that didn't diminish the charm of the home, would be perfectly acceptable.
Gosh, what a perfect home. Most old houses have a bland modern decor, but this one they really understood the mood. And the obliquos sunset lights passing through the sach windows and reflecting on the walls just gave the video a sense of peace. I live the garden as well!
Definitely. The original owners would have had, I imagine, servants who would have prepared all their food in that basement kitchen. It's lovely that it's been so faithfully restored in a style in keeping with the age of the house ❤
Exactly. It's weird that an estate agent thought a huge stove with Delft tiles would be in a giant scullery. It makes me wonder what else the agency would get wrong about this property.
I visited London a couple of years ago and stayed in Brick Lane and had the absolute best time. We went for an early walk one morning and found Spitalfields and had a lovely wander around. The Georgean Huguenot Houses were stunning. Plenty of people warned me about staying in Brick Lane but I found it very eclectic and the people were all friendly and I just loved the quirky shops.
Wow. This is maybe one of the most beautiful homes I've seen on your channel. Thank you. The owners must be remarkable people. The love and authenticity they have put into their home is wonderful. I hope they are moving on to an enchanting new journey.
@@louisechainey2940 absolutely. There’s a reason the owner has been there for over 35 years. I would be hard pushed to tear myself away from it myself. Thanks for watching.
My gosh, 300 years of history in a home! Living here would be an amazing lifestyle, connecting you to the soul of London. Every day living within a palpable contrast of antiquity and modernity. Inspiring adventure and contemplation equally.
A few hours ago I was a few streets away, in Dennis Sever's House for the candle-lit Silent Night experience. The spirit of Spitalfields lives on in these houses.
I studied Historic Preservation. So glad to know this beautiful home is grade II listed. Alas I will never live there but perhaps as a scullery maid, and a dream to live in one of the quiet little corner chambers at the back.
Absolutely stunning and exquisite, how I would love to live in such an atmospheric house. I am a Hugenot decendant myself and would feel so at home there. Thank you for this beautiful tour.
Grateful thanks, my grandfather (born 1878) grew up around the corner in Princelet Street in a Huguenot house just like this. It is quite wonderful to see the layout of this idiosyncratic home
Just an awesome house, style and character never go out of fashion, if that house could talk imagine the conversation that went on in this house through the centuries.
Oh my goodness, this is perfection. I absolutely adore Georgian houses, even more so with so many original features still in place. Which l, if only l had the money to buy this fabulous gem, would never EVER change ! And thanks to you Simon for showing us these gorgeous and special places. Merry Christmas from Germany ⭐.
Absolutely stunning house - wonder who lived there and amzing that people do live like this - the house has such quiet dignity and the beautiful staid but warm decorum of the Georgian style - so many little nooks, crannies and pockets - just lovely. You have a wonderful job Simon and you do these videos & tour narrations v. well.
Honestly it took my breath away I tried to visit Denis Severs house recently but it was unfortunately closed that day so we went to Charles Dickens house which is so similar. Fingers crossed for that lottery win. Thank you for a beautiful and informative tour love Lynne from Surrey xx
I've always wanted a house that I could renovate to my taste... and then I see this one... and I'm floored, in love. I would not change a thing (but the curtains!) How exquisite
Brings back fond memories i spent my early years as a sales rep in the area in 1990-93, its changed a lot. Most of the family wholesale companies who operated in the area have long gone, SB Chopra, Gift and Electronics, Lucky Wholesale, ( Give and Take -still trading )and so many more .
I have spent many a day exploring this area and to have an opportunity to look inside has been wonderful. My uncle owned a similar aged property on Richmond Hill which I was fascinated by.
Hello from Oregon (U.S.)! I’m so grateful for videos like this, since I will likely never be able to travel to these amazing historical sites. Thank you for your channel, you’ve gained a new subscriber 😊
What a beautiful home! I love the fact that each room has a door shutting it off from the other rooms! I don’t like open floor plans like here in the USA! Plus each room including bedrooms have fireplaces
Thanks for the grand tour, beautiful and charming, indeed! As an American with mostly British ancestry and an art/NYC fashion illustrator and floral design background, I appreciate and love Georgian architecture and fashions and all the details. Love the Delft tiles and the lovely rose print wallpaper and the story behind it, too as well as that beautiful very colorful floral painting! Cheers from Yankee New England~
Hi there, we also moved to NE Scotland by the coast. It is a lovely community and I bless the day we made our move some 20 years ago. Things will move more slowly than in the big city but they will get done and as you put roots down I hope you will be as happy as we are❤ Good luck from across the Moray Firth xxx
what a lovely House ❤i lived in a Georgian house ❤in Plymouth Navy Dockyard my Dad was Resident Water Bailif mind not as grand as this one though i am sure in its day it looked much more as it was the Master Rope makers House
I love old houses, I grew up in a 1560 reconverted sheepfold (we think). And I love british terraced houses. They don't even exist here in Italy, but they are such a dream! Give me all the squeky floorboards, wooden beams and hardwood flooring! I wish they still made houses like this 😭
Absolutely gorgeous! I love the look of these Spitalfields houses, and have visited Dennis Severs’ house there a couple of times, and recently wandered again down this street
I really love Georgian homes. I like the division of spaces and the sense of coziness that gives a house, but at the same time, there is a definite grandness to them. I liked seeing the use of colour here and texture which always gives a house its character and not simply a white on white with a little white monstrosity.
Did a lot of work at an ad agency in brick lane - lots of film shoots happening there due to the Georgian look being protected - if you take the cars away it has a fantastic back in time vibe A great energy around that area Miss the uk hustle
Fascinating period home. What a joy to see it maintained so well. A definite Upstairs Downstairs vibe. The storage space with the iron grate did give me the creeps a bit. Too many stairs for me at this point, but it will make the right person a incredible home. Thank you for the detailed tour.
Love character houses ..especially Georgian .. They often have lots of smaller rooms ..but I wouldn’t mind . It’s like stepping back in time..suits me fine.
I'd be thrilled with just the cottage, which is bigger than what I've got now - and my God, in London! And I thought my 1975 condo (terraced home) in Phoenix was old! LOL. Unfortunately, I've got old-money tastes and a no-money budget, and I'm incredibly blessed to even have what I have - but this kind of architecture in an historic city the likes of London just makes me sigh and dream of dampness, gray skies, and what appears to be a considerably more civilized place.
I can’t help you find a buyer, which is of course your job and your objective. But thank you for sharing this beautiful home with the public. This house is older than almost anything in the city in which I live. I imagine there might be trees in pine forest about an hour from here 300-400 years old. But certainly no homes this lovely. Thank you.
When I lived in London in the early 70's I saw a lot of demolition in Covent Garden and this Spitafields are was a dump, full of squats threatened with demolition also. So happy that it has been saved, I dread to thing what London would have looked like with all that gone and replaced with soul-less 'modern'.
I bought a house on that street in 1973. They cost £100k then. The top floor floorboards look like mine were, they were elm, original wide 1700's planks. The rest of the house look like different floorboards, not as wide. Were they replaced over the years? My house had the wide elm boards throughout. I had a secret door too. I presumed it was so one bedroom occupant, say the master, could visit another bedroom occupant, say the mistress, without staff seeing them. Thank-you for taking me down memory lane. X
It's exquisite. Thank you so much - you give an enjoyable tour, not a boring "estate agenty" one. My congratulations to the present owner. (I wonder if s/he's someone I knew ages ago, and went back there for coffee? Like this, everything was authentic, and modern additions like kitchen & bathrooms were so discreetly done.) I've mentally moved in already too!
I loved that garden with the cottage! I think that was my favourite part. The house is truly wonderful, and so well loved. Not for me, but I so enjoyed the tour. I’d be very interested to find out who buys this place. Someone who loves history I hope!
It's really a classic beautiful home . Love the colors and there's enough rooms for a large family but if you do have a large family that 2 burner stove would make cooking big meals very difficult. The stove looks so good in that spot but it's not for making seriously large meals. Having that separate apartment in the back looked so cool in the pictures would have liked to see it maybe next time. Thanks for the tour and merry Christmas from Chicago.
Seems you are not familiar with what an Aga provides! Do some research; that Aga provides heat for cooking at any moment and is probably heating the hot water for the house. There is essentially the family kitchen with the Aga in it, a scullery that was described as a kitchen! and a pantry. If needed an electric range could be installed in the scullery.
How wonderful to see a historic house that hasn't been "updated" by gutting and whitewashing the interior! Actual rooms, doors, hallways - love it!
Absolutely agree.
I was going to say the same thing.
Very much agree. I would only hope that any future owner(s) would not do such a grave disservice to this gem, as to go in and tear it apart, in order to "modernize" it. That would be absolutely criminal.

Gorgeous! Those Delft tiles 😍 would love to go back in time to the original owners to tell them how much it’s worth today! 😊
Wonderful!
Simon, what an amazing place. Its so fantastic that we still have houses like this.
Thanks
@@janicebone6191 it’s a very special part of London and it’s a huge honour for me to be able to look after this area. Thank you for watching.
This is house is perfect ❤
When I lived in London in the early 70's I saw a lot of demolition in Covent Garden and this Spitafields are was a dump, full of squats threatened with demolition also. So happy that it has been saved, I dread to thing what London would have looked like with all that gone and replaced with soul-less 'modern'.
Love it

Beautiful home!❤
I bought a house on that street in 1973. They cost £100k then. The top floor floorboards look like mine were, they were elm, original wide 1700's planks. The rest of the house look like different floorboards, not as wide. Were they replaced over the years? My house had the wide elm boards throughout. I had a secret door too. I presumed it was so one bedroom occupant, say the master, could visit another bedroom occupant, say the mistress, without staff seeing them. Thank-you for taking me down memory lane. X
Love this house! (and the wig cupboard)
It's exquisite. Thank you so much - you give an enjoyable tour, not a boring "estate agenty" one. My congratulations to the present owner. (I wonder if s/he's someone I knew ages ago, and went back there for coffee? Like this, everything was authentic, and modern additions like kitchen & bathrooms were so discreetly done.) I've mentally moved in already too!
I loved that garden with the cottage! I think that was my favourite part. The house is truly wonderful, and so well loved. Not for me, but I so enjoyed the tour. I’d be very interested to find out who buys this place. Someone who loves history I hope!
Love the period properties in Fournier Street. Nice to see an Aga in the house.
It's really a classic beautiful home . Love the colors and there's enough rooms for a large family but if you do have a large family that 2 burner stove would make cooking big meals very difficult. The stove looks so good in that spot but it's not for making seriously large meals. Having that separate apartment in the back looked so cool in the pictures would have liked to see it maybe next time. Thanks for the tour and merry Christmas from Chicago.
@@r.m.alonzo7648 thank you for your lovely feedback.
Seems you are not familiar with what an Aga provides! Do some research; that Aga provides heat for cooking at any moment and is probably heating the hot water for the house. There is essentially the family kitchen with the Aga in it, a scullery that was described as a kitchen! and a pantry. If needed an electric range could be installed in the scullery.
