This striking two-bedroom warehouse conversion in Clerkenwell offers more than 1,400 sq ft of light-filled living with authentic period character. High ceilings, wide-plank timber floors and a triple-aspect reception create a dramatic, flexible space ideal for entertaining or home working. The apartment is presented turnkey and benefits from lift access and a Juliet balcony.
Practical strengths include an exceptionally long lease (977 years), gated private parking available on a separate lease, and a recently resolved external S20 issue giving the building a clean bill of health. The apartment is chain-free and finished with contemporary fittings including an integrated kitchen and two modern bathrooms.
Buyers should note the material running costs and location factors: a above-average service charge of £7,190, community heating (mains gas) and a council tax level described as quite expensive. The building dates from the early 20th century with solid brick walls that are assumed uninsulated — further insulation works may be required for improved thermal efficiency.
The area is an inner-city, cosmopolitan professional neighbourhood with excellent transport links (Barbican, Old Street, Farringdon) and abundant cafés, restaurants and cultural amenities. This apartment will suit buyers seeking spacious central-London living with strong character, or investors targeting a desirable Clerkenwell address, provided they factor in service charges and local urban considerations.
