20.2.2024 And thats a wrap. I've now sold this house. You can see the outgoing video here if you like...... th-cam.com/video/Jc3vWcSlj8A/w-d-xo.html
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.
I couldn’t agree more.
You’re right it’s not painted gray…….. it’s painted brown tan and beige.
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.
Absolutely. Hope it brought back some good memories for you. Thanks for your comments.
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.
Thank you, exactly the look the owner wanted.
"whoever," not "whomever," please
Agree, it’s beautiful
@@cbwilson2398 ☹
@@cbwilson2398 thank you word police.
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.
Lovely comments thank you very much 🙏
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.
Absolutely! If only walls and floors could talk. Thank you for watching
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.
appreciate the comment. It's perefct, right down to the squeeky floor boards...
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.
That’s so nice of you to say. It definitely has that feeling. Laid back and sophisticated but not showy.
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.
Stunning , respecting history 100% but yet so contemporary. Clever and incredible .
Many thanks! Its a pleasure walking round this incredble home
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.
Many thanks 🙏 appreciate the feedback
These streets, these houses are absolutely stunning and I love the way this house has been renovated, creaks and all.
Thank you for the comment. Glad you like it 😊
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.
I totally agree! thanks for the coment
If you could afford the house, you can afford a decorator.
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.
Thanks for you comments. Your home sounds fab. Simon
Thank you for the amazing tour and a bit of a background history on this place! The house is incredible
Thank you. I’m delighted you enjoyed the tour.
Wow. Stunning home. You can feel the history of this beautiful townhome
Thank you. it's been lovely seeing how so many people here appreciate the warmth of this historic home. Glad you liked the tour
My favorite. The paint colors are exquisite.
Enchanting!!! I appreciate the wonky stairs and the sound of footsteps on the original floors.
Honestly one of the most atmospheric homes I've been in for some time. Thansk for the feedback
What an amazing space! If only I could afford it I would snap it up in a heart beat. A piece of history that works well for modern day living in a great location. So much natural Beauty and character with no pretence. I have to say this is probably one of my favourites. But then again I say that about most of the properties you show 😊 Thanks Simon
Thank you for the feedback and I'm delighted you enjoyed the tour. More to come......Thansk for sticking iwth the channel
Thanks for showing this very beautiful home. A warm sophisticated vibe is definately felt.
Thank you for you kind feedback, Linda. Simon
Thank you - I've been in the US for many years now, but before we moved over here we owned an end terrace Georgian in Stoke Newington with lots of gorgeous paneling like this one. I often reminisce about that house - basement level kitchen with coal holes just like this too & an old huge fireplace with ironwork fittings ! That area & that Georgian house were very 'posh' in their day, our home was built in 1720, not particularly 'favored' when we lived there - but now 35+ years later I understand it has again 'boomed' & I hope that house is still being appreciated for it's historic value ! Miss you Stoke Newington Church St & that Red Lion pub ! I always enjoyed discovering the history of that area during the 3 years we lived there ! Not so long ago houses like this were considered too 'scruffy' to keep, and many rows got torn down, I think we have all learned to love them now & that is not happening so much!
Love the heritage colours, and the simplicity.
Thank you. I'm hoping to get a follow up video on this house next week. I've sold it and i get to explore it when it's empty. Best wishes, Simon
Such a Wonder to behold, now I want to see all the Neighbor's homes! The one across the street has a Garden on the street-side balcony!
Speechless, I feel at home, so much homely old time character, dream home .
It really is. Thanks for your kind words
So interesting and a beautiful house tastefully curated by the owner. Thank you
Love this authentic, historical home. Just love it🥰
Thank you for showing us around a beautiful historic home 🏡
Glad you enjoyed it
Gosh, I love every inch! I am a descendant of Pilgrims, still living 20 miles from Plymouth rock, love this house😊❤
Thank you. Isn't it lovley to see something left as un-touched as possible.
It is because it is a Memory within you! :) Cellular Memory is very strong in a Family Line! Such a Blessing!
Perfection in every room👌
Thank you for watching and commenting.
I grew up in Hanbury Street in the fifties...as a child I remember the beautiful windows of the old silk weavers houses...
I’d love to hear more about this area from those days. I’ve worked there since the late 90’s and it’s changed unbelievably since then. Goodness knows how it’s changed since the 50’s.
An absolute gem and dream of a house. Thank you.
My pleasure. Thank you.
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.
It’s a little piece of history. Thanks for your words.
Thank you this home was certainly beautiful in every way❤!
Than you for the lovely feedback. Simon
Watching from USA. My ancestors were Huguenot refugees. That Georgian house is lovely.
Hello from London, thanks for your comments. Glad you liked the tour.
if I was a person of means I’d buy that in a skinny minute. Incredibly atmospheric.
Thank you. Glad you liked it. Who knows, one day......
What a graceful and timeless home. I’d love to live there!
Thank you. It really is
Amazing story house❤
Wow. Beyond delightful, and so quiet.
I have never seen homes like this.
I am from Australia and thought all the old London homes were all dark and mouldy.
Good luck finding the perfect owner.
Thank you for your efforts.
Thanks for your comments. And hello from London.
What a wonderful challenge for an Interior Designer and an Architect. What a magnificent property. The best to whoever developes this historic property.
Hopefully not too over developed though. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. 👍
What a lovely home. It would have been wonderful to have been able to see it truly adequately decorated.
An amazing house & the man that brought this house back to life. It really is an experience to vist throughout its day.
Thank you, Andrew. Appreciate the feedback
got quite emotional watching this as my ancestors lived and worked in this neighbourhood may have even visited this house .
magnificient house!
Thank you
Beautiful in it’s simplicity ❤️ & preservation
Thank you so much 😊
An absolute dream of a house in a fantastic area, will be a lucky (wealthy) family that gets to live here.
What a amazing place!!!!! Thank you for sharing! Much love from South of France to London where i lived in my youth!
BEAUTIFUL ❤️ .
What a gorgeous place! My dream house love the history. I'm a Hugenot, at least my ancestors were.
That’s lovely to hear. Thank you for your comments.
Reminds me so much of the homes in Society Hill in Philadelphia where
I live. Beautiful house...the floors. fireplaces, woodwork. Would love to
live there. Thank you for the tour.
And thank you for the comments. Society Hill sounds interesting. Best wishes, Simon
Even that yard your standing in looks great to me.
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!
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. The style in number 4 Princelet was all his doing.... All the best, Simon
Original wooden flooring does "talk" loolo.... How lovely is this place - thanks for the tour! Absolutely wonderful that its all in tact over the centuries.
Thank you 🙏
Honestly i can listen to you all day long😊
That’s kind. Thank you 😊
Thanks for sharing Simon, absolutely gorgeous. Would love to buy this house as my Nanna came from the East End, will have to get a paper round now 😂😂
Go for it! Hope to be selling you a home in East London some time soon!
Amazing! Thank you so much for the tour.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for the tour! Ahh, so cozy and pleasant to look at :)
Isn't it just, thansk for the feedback.
Beautiful house! Congratulations to whoever buys it. I hope they resist the urge to “modernise”. Thank you for the tour.
Absolute pleasure. Glad you enjoyed it
Love those rooms on the top floor! Wonderful light.
Thanks so much!
Amazing!!!!!!
Isn't it just !
This is incredible and I would happily live in the Weaver's Loft!
Magnificent!! Wow!
Many thanks!
Wow! I could almost move to London. Just beautiful.
You should!
Many thanks to this re-vitalization of keeping it in it's original era with all the charm and history without getting ruined with modern crap that would have destroyed it.
This home is absolutely beautiful
Thank you. It’s an honour to be representing it to be honest. Thanks for the comments.
I used to live on Hanbury Street Whitechapel end and loved walking along these old preserved streets among the high rises.
How long ago. I’d love to hear what it was like
@@simonatuniquepropertycompany I think about 93 - 95 so a similar time to you, if I recall from the video.
@@Agameda1 you’re a touch earlier. Good times 👍
Beautiful video....such a wonderful house reflecting history and yiu are a wonderful relaxing presenter who guíes us through this perfectly
OMG, that Door could wake the Dead...I am listening in early this morning! LOL
I have the soul of an English person😂😂. I love the entire home!! I can see the history from the kitchen table. I'd love ❤ to purchase the home
Stunning 🏡 🤩🙌🎥😄🤗 🇺🇸
Thank you! 🤗
@@simonatuniquepropertycompany 😄
Exquisite. This is my idea of the perfect home.
Superb Danish design in there :)
Well spotted👌 and thanks for watching.
Looks like a perfect place to film a Harry Potter film! Maybe the backstory of where Hermoine’s parents lived
You never know!! 😊
I like the scale of many older homes with good sized rooms and healthy for occupants high ceilings
There will be a happy buyer waiting to invest in this place! I wish he comes to you via this video, of course..... I wish you all the very best charming man!
You’re very kind. Thank you for the comments and taking the time to watch.
Just Lovely…..❤❤❤
wahoo it's beautiful!
Sence of place,with the decor ❤
my ancestors from France used to live in that area - they were silk weavers
What a beautiful house, reminds me of Merchants House in NYC 😊
Thank you 🙏
@@simonatuniquepropertycompany I’m in London in October, going to check out this are 👍🏻
@@DianeWyatt-j4x have a great time. If you like this sort of thing, you must visit dennissevershouse.co.uk
It’s literally just round the corner. You’ll love it.
Its stunning 😍. I think it could do with a little TLC, its very shabby chick but nothing a lick of paint, some oil on the floor boards, and a few pictures on the wall wouldn't fix. I hope and pray the next owner respects the history, too many people just rip everything out and turn it into a white box 😢. Love your channel, just subbed. The audio could do with fixing tho, i found you hard to hear sometimes
Awesome property, besides it is very quiet there.
Lots of potential....could possibly be another wonderfull Denis Seivers "Folgate" house, with the right period furnishings.
Yes that place is sensational
If you could be so kind to turn up your speaker and more camera lighting.
NICE OLD HOME.
Thank you for the feedback. I've invested in new equipment so hopefully the sound will be better from now on..
Excellent
The floors need some moisture and varnish finish to protect them.
I think the new owners have some lovely restorative plans for it. Thanks for watching
The weavers loft would make a great artist's studio. I don't care for the rest of the house, but that loft is light and airy
Absolutely, I guess it was a "creative space" back then and still relevant today.
Interested in the 3 legged stool in the formal reception room.
That’s a “birthing stool”. If you email simon.stone@uniquepropertycompany.co.uk I can give you some back ground
Incredible. The floorboards creaking were the best! Anywhere to park a car? I suspect not. Just as well. Thank you for this beautiful tour.
There is often some limited on street residents parking, this will cost money, but you don’t need a car in this part of London because public transport is excellent.
I worked in Hanbury Street. Textile Trade ❤❤
Astonishing ❤❤❤❤
I love it so so much.
Just cozy and comfortable as a home should be.
Love everything worn and historical, especially the quacking sound of the floor😍😍😍😍
I would like to be the ghost of the house, not heaven , not hell, either the life after.
It’s a nice house worth to haunted for several hundred years ！
Lovely words. Thank you
Love the history and warmth of it but all that clutter needs chucked out , nicer furniture and a few rugs and some paint. Really disgusting having all the street rubbish dropping down through that grate - that needs some glass or something put under the grate .
Cool
Great content excellently presented earns my subscription, Cairns Tropical North Queensland.
Honestly, thank you for the feedback. Means a lot as I'm still new to all this...
@@simonatuniquepropertycompany Enjoy the ride.
When i was young and used to go to London every year on holidays from South America, there where noble areas and popular ones. It seems to me now, due to difficulty of finding a place to live, that you can live everywhere with a sense of ellegance. Is Brixton still a "dangerous" area or a highclass district now?
Thanks for your comments. This place is on the East side of London and along with Brixton, far more gentrified than its was 30 years ago.
Lots of Huguenots came to Charleston South Carolina in 17th C
Stunning. I wish I could afford it. I just hope it won't be bought by someone who will "modernise" it.
I sincerely hope not. Thanks for watching
Thank you for posting this! My family has two lines of Huguenots in it. One set were linen weavers. I understand that they came to the Spitalfields as well. You said something about providing some links? I'd love to see those.
Thanks for your comments. My apologies I did say I’d add links. Here are some just for you. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huguenots

I’m planning on a visit to the Dennis Severs house. If I’m allowed to film it I will.
We love everything and my husband was very interested . The sound quality did put him off though. Can you adjust maybe?
I’m trying to improve. Appreciate the feedback though.
@@simonatuniquepropertycompany 💖💖💖
You mentioned that this is a work in progress, would be great if you could do a follow up video at some point.
Hi there, I will indeed. I don't need to be asked twice top go back to this extraordinary home. With regard to the items for sale, please visit the owners instagram page - @princeletdrift and he will dicuss anything for sale. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment.

@@sam.james.walker thanks very much, Sam.
After watching this video, I made sure my home didn’t looked disorganized as this. Other then that the home has its carácter.
