This restored Huguenot townhouse in London is equal parts gallery and home

Original bones and antique furnishings honour the Huguenot provenance

Located on Princelet Street within the Spitalfields Conservation Area, this Grade II-listed townhouse on was built in 1719 as part of a terrace associated with London’s Huguenot community. The house extends across approximately 3,968 square feet, combining original Georgian elements with later interventions.

The street-facing elevation remains intact, including a glazed shopfront that forms part of a double reception at ground level. Fireplaces sit within both rooms, while a separate entrance opens to a central hall and the main staircase.

At the rear, a double-height gallery space replaces a former workshop — a later addition. A glazed roof lantern and courtyard bring light deep into the building, while a concrete ceiling, shuttered in Douglas fir, references the earlier structure.

The original staircase runs along the rear wall beneath a series of sash windows, with worn oak treads retained. The first floor holds a formal living room connected to a library and workspace. Above, bedrooms and a bathroom finished in Carrara marble occupy the upper levels.

A further addition introduces a top-floor kitchen and dining room, with timber-framed glazing opening to terraces at both front and rear.

It’s on the market for £4.75m with Hemingway+K.
