Developed by Derwent London and designed by RIBA Stirling Prize winning architectural practice Allford Hall Monaghan Morris, The Sweeps Building is so named due to it's original purpose as a bullion refinery that specialised in extracting precious metals from the floor sweepings of nearby jewellery manufacturers in Hatton Garden.

14 loft style apartments form part of a wider mixed use city fringe urban quarter knows as The Johnson Building, set behind a handsome Art Deco facade dating from 1927 by legendary architects of the period Wallis, Gilbert & Partners - famous for landmarks including The Hoover Building, Victoria Coach Station, the EMI factory in Hayes and the former Birmingham offices of the General Electric Company.

Elements of the building's original industrial scale are present, including large full height crittal style windows, generous ceiling heights with visible cast-concrete cross-members, creating an apartment with abundant natural light, a sense of space & volume and genuine character.

The main living space is dual aspect, with an open plan contemporary kitchen and views over bustling Leather Lane, a dual aspect principal bedroom with en-suite shower room is situated to the rear, with views over the quiet courtyard that forms part of the development. A second double bedroom features a private balcony, with the third bedroom and family bathroom making up the rest of the lateral accommodation.

Leather Lane is a foodie favourite, being home to one of London's largest street food markets, offering a dizzying array of international cuisine and well known for some of the capital's finest falafel, with Nearby Hatton Garden well known as the centre of London's jewellery & gem trades. The stylish city fringe neighbourhoods of Clerkenwell & Farringdon are only a few minutes walk to the east offering numerous restaurants, bars & clubs plus a wonderful architectural mix of original warehouses, fine examples of Victorian gothic as well as the vast Victorian landmark that is Smithfields market.

Transport connections abound, with the recently opened Elizabeth Line at Farringdon creating a convenient high speed hub, however the City of London, Lincoln's Inn and the West End are within easy walking distance to the East, South & West respectively, underlining this location's unique credentials as a true gateway linking London's financial, legal & entertainment districts.

The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
