Set within The Piano Works — a restored Grade II listed Victorian industrial building — this 2,055 sq ft upper-ground office combines warehouse character with usable, modern services. Double-height space, exposed beams and steel columns create an airy, distinctive workspace; a mezzanine, large meeting room, kitchenette and breakout area add practical functionality for a single occupier or creative company.
The ownership model is a virtual freehold (999-year lease from 2004, c.978 years remaining), offering long-term security. The office already has air conditioning, heating, perimeter trunking and data cabling in situ, plus wooden floors — minimising immediate fit-out cost for an incoming occupier. Transport links are outstanding with Farringdon and Kings Cross St Pancras nearby, and the Clerkenwell/Farringdon neighbourhood provides plentiful amenities, eateries and cultural venues.
Important considerations: the building’s Grade II listing will restrict alterations and may complicate any conversion or extensive refurbishment. The sale price is £1,425,000 plus VAT — purchasers should confirm VAT liability and business rates with local authorities. Crime levels in the immediate area are reported as very high, which may influence insurance and security requirements.
This property will suit an owner-occupier or investor seeking a characterful, centrally located office with long tenure and good technical provision. It presents clear potential for a creative workspace that retains period features, provided buyers accept the constraints and additional costs that come with a listed central London asset.
