A spectacular duplex penthouse offering 1,452 sq ft of contemporary living across two floors, designed by MWA and finished with high ceilings and floor-to-ceiling glazing. The top-floor reception and open-plan kitchen open directly onto a private roof terrace, delivering strong natural light and wide views across Clerkenwell and the Barbican area.
The fourth-floor level includes the principal bedroom with built-in wardrobes and an ensuite, two further double bedrooms, a guest bathroom and a utility room — a practical layout for families, sharers or professionals working from home. Mechanical heating is via a boiler with underfloor heating, and the building presents a striking arrival sequence with a five-storey atrium, mosaic flooring and a glass lift.
Location is a core strength: Old Street places this penthouse within walking distance of Barbican and Shoreditch, superb transport links, plentiful amenities and a busy daytime food market. The building’s architectural credentials and generous internal space create long-term appeal for owner-occupiers and long-let investors alike.
Notable factual cautions: the property is leasehold (987 years remaining) and council tax is described as quite expensive. Crime levels in the immediate area are above average — important to consider for buyers prioritising security. There is no flood risk recorded.
