Summary - 1, BIRKENHEAD STREET WC1H 8BA
1 bed 1 bath Office
Large courtyard building with conversion potential close to King’s Cross transport hub.
Freehold mews office with vacant possession
A rare freehold mews building minutes from King’s Cross, offered with vacant possession and flexible sale options. The property combines a contemporary, industrial interior within a Victorian envelope, arranged around a secure 2,887 sq ft courtyard that provides light and outdoor amenity for every workspace. Total NIA 4,979 sq ft (GIA 5,942 sq ft) with scope to reinstate some currently unused area through refurbishment.
This asset will suit investors or owner-occupiers seeking a central London freehold with immediate rental or conversion potential. The building sits in the King’s Cross St Pancras Conservation Area, currently Class E (office) — subject to consents it could alternatively be adapted for residential, education or leisure uses. There is an option to acquire the SPV share capital, which may deliver stamp duty savings compared with a straightforward freehold purchase.
Buyers should note practical constraints: parts of the GIA may require refurbishment to return to full use, and change-of-use or external works will need conservation-area approvals. The location is in an inner-city, high-crime and high-deprivation context, factors that should be considered for tenanting, security measures and residential conversion prospects. Possession is available by 28 February 2026 and the vendor has not elected for VAT.
