A rare freehold opportunity in the heart of Shoreditch / Old Street, this prominent Victorian corner building offers c.5,253 sq ft over five floors with a mix of commercial showroom space and a substantial triplex residential maisonette. The ground and basement provide approximately 3,000 sq ft of high-ceiling showroom/ancillary space, ideal for a creative business, showroom or investor seeking strong reversion potential. The upper three floors form a generous residence (c.2,200 sq ft) with a 724 sq ft roof garden featuring mature planting.
Newly renovated throughout, the property marries period character — ornate cornices, high ceilings and an attractive façade — with contemporary fittings inside. Its corner position and proximity to Old Street Roundabout deliver excellent visibility and footfall in London’s Tech City, and strong transport links. The roof terrace is an exceptional asset for residential amenity or events, but will require ongoing maintenance because of mature planting and rooftop access considerations.
Practical considerations are straightforward: freehold tenure, EPC rating D, and a ground-and-basement rateable value of £29,000 (rates payable circa £14,500). The property sits in a dense inner-city area classified as deprived, which can affect tenant mix and long-term yields. Council tax is above average and VAT status is to be advised. This building suits investors or owner-occupiers seeking a distinctive, mixed-use asset with clear upside in a high-demand central London location.
