Spacious modern two-bed with concierge, gym and rooftop garden near King’s Cross.
Large 989 sq ft two-bedroom new-build apartment with en suite
Set in the landmark Plimsoll Building on Handyside Street, this two-bedroom new-build apartment offers nearly 989 sq ft of well-proportioned living in Zone 1. The apartment has an open-plan living/dining area that leads to a private balcony, two double bedrooms (one with an en suite) and a contemporary fitted kitchen — all finished to a modern specification. Residents benefit from a 24-hour concierge, gym and rooftop winter garden.
The location is a primary draw: a five-minute walk to King’s Cross and St Pancras International puts central London and European destinations within easy reach. Nearby Coal Drops Yard and canal-side gardens deliver cafés, restaurants and boutique shopping on the doorstep. Several highly rated primary and secondary schools are within reach, making the area suitable for professional couples or buyers wanting excellent transport links.
Important practical points are stated plainly. The apartment is leasehold; buyers should check remaining lease length and service charges. Broadband speeds in the building are reported as slow, which may affect home working. The local area records above-average crime and higher deprivation indices compared with wider London — buyers should consider security and lifestyle implications despite the on-site concierge and communal amenities.
This property suits buyers prioritising central location, transport connectivity and on-site facilities. It presents a low-maintenance city base with strong rental and city-living appeal, but purchasers should review tenure details, anticipated service costs and broadband arrangements before proceeding.
