This split-level three-bedroom apartment sits in the heart of Clerkenwell, offering a practical layout across 938 sq ft with a balcony and communal garden. The property benefits from double glazing, gas central heating (community scheme) and a long lease of 175 years, making it a secure long-term purchase for a family or investor. Service charge includes heating and hot water, simplifying running costs.
Inside, you’ll find a fitted kitchen at the front, a spacious lounge ideal for family living, a ground-floor WC and a first-floor family bathroom. The room sizes are average but well-arranged for everyday living; the building’s mid-20th-century construction is robust, and recent double glazing improves comfort and efficiency.
Location is a major selling point: positioned close to St John Street and Upper Street, the apartment is within easy reach of cafes, shops, transport links and highly rated primary schools nearby. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal excellent, supporting modern home working.
Buyers should note practical drawbacks: the area records above-average crime and is classified as deprived, which may concern some purchasers. There is only one full bathroom (plus a ground-floor WC), the service charge is approximately £2,500 per year, and the tenure is leasehold. These facts are important when assessing monthly costs and suitability for a growing family.
