A substantial freehold office building arranged over lower ground to fifth floors, offering 18,351 sq ft of self-contained workspace on a prominent Gray’s Inn Road frontage. The property is DDA compliant, served by a lift, and includes practical facilities such as meeting rooms, bike stores and communal showers — features that suit a modern office occupier or investor seeking immediate rental appeal.
The building’s traditional layout and early 20th-century brick façade give it period character and street presence in central Bloomsbury. Lower ground floors provide relatively good ceiling heights while upper floors are served by two rear stair cores with separate access to Brownlow Mews, supporting flexible occupation or multi-let potential.
Important considerations: the location records high local crime levels and the building presents a traditional layout with standard ceiling heights on many floors — likely requiring refurbishment or reconfiguration for high-spec tech tenants. Full condition, services and compliance surveys will be required to scope upgrading, tenant fit-out costs and any planning constraints.
For investors or owner-occupiers seeking a prominent central London freehold with scale and clear access to amenity, this property offers long-term potential. The asset’s size and core facilities reduce immediate capital works for basic office use, but budgets should allow for modernization where a contemporary open-plan environment is desired.
