Lovely old bones. I would try for some more natural light access if living in it would be the purpose, mirrors to reflect the light, but other than that only water and soap, maybe some floor polish. Anything more would completely change the feel of the place.

Hope they do not spoil the beautiful interior if they renovate it.

This house is BEYOND perfect. Like wrinkles on a face this home has seen plenty and has wonderful character. It should not be touched whatsoever. To slap paint on this fabulous time worn patina would be a downright crime. The stairs are plain out incredible with their wear that comes only from time and use. Lucky new owners!

I got past this house frequently and always have a peer in through the window. It harkens back to how imagine life to be not so very long ago. Always empty as I pass by so a treat to sneak around the place through your wonderful post.

Fantastic photographs, thank you for showing them.
My wife and I tend to play ‘spot the house in Spitalfields’ as it has been the star of so many TV programmes including the one-off about Mrs Beaton and the Poliakof series before the current one (sorry can’t remember the name). I also always enjoy photographing it and indeed was photographing the Supermoon over Princelet Street last night from outside the front windows.

What a wonderful old house and such a history. Let us hope that the new
owners will look after the house as it deserves

great to see inside this house. I’ve so often seen it from the outside, usually with film crews/stars/extras in a cluster outside. Will the owners of Truman’s brewery still rent it out for filming I wonder?
