2 bedroom apartment for sale

Built in 1933, the building’s street-facing façade exhibits a smart, post-industrial profile of red-brick, punctuated by large sections of glazing, across four storeys. The internal aesthetic of the apartment wears the hallmarks of warehouse living in a clean and understated style.

The plan is configured around a large open-plan living space, bathed in natural light by south-facing Crittal windows. A contemporary kitchen with breakfast bar and is positioned to one side of the adjoining dining area, which in turn, flows out into the living room. These spaces have wooden floorboards underfoot and high ceilings.

A pair of glazed doors separate these living quarters from the sleeping accommodation. Both double bedrooms are generously proportioned and have large Crittal windows overlooking St Paul’s in the distance and the grounds of the Charterhouse Building in the foreground; a peaceful enclave established in 1348, which has been used variously as a monastery, private mansion and now as alms-houses. There are two bathrooms, one bath and one shower room, positioned at the far end of the plan.

Located on Clerkenwell Road close to the junction of St John Street this wonderful authentic loft apartment is in the heart of Clerkenwell’s loft district.

Farringdon underground and main line station is a short stroll away with access to the Circle, Metropolitan and Hammersmith and City lines, National rail as well as the Elizabeth Line. In fact, it is one of the only stations in London that offers north-south as well as east – west connections, making the city, Canary Wharf and London's west end easily accessible, not to mention easy access to Kings Cross - St Pancras with its Eurostar terminus.

Clerkenwell first became a fashionable place to live in the 17th century as a destination where Londoners enjoyed tea gardens, theatres and spas: in fact, you can still see part of Clerks’ Well after which Clerkenwell was named. The area later became famous as a centre for clock and watchmaking alongside the jewellers and goldsmiths of Hatton Garden.

It remains one of the best-preserved village centres in central London – a vibrant modern community with a fascinatingly rich history.

Clerkenwell is renowned for the quality and variety of its bars, pubs and restaurants. Nearby Exmouth Market, Covent Garden and Soho are all within walking distance. The Barbican Centre, with its world-class cultural programme of cinema, music, theatre, talks and exhibitions, is a few minutes walk from the house. Smithfield is moments away and under proposals by Studio Egret West, plans are afoot to convert the Smithfield East and West Market buildings into a food education centre and a cultural and entertainment space respectively, and a site for the relocation of the London Museum.
