Summary - Flat 1, 193-195 City Road EC1V 1JN
3 bed 2 bath Maisonette
Prominent mixed-use freehold with roof garden and large showroom near Old Street.
Freehold corner building circa 5,253 sq ft over five floors
A rare freehold corner building in Shoreditch offering around 5,253 sq ft across five floors, combining a commercial showroom and an expansive triplex maisonette above. The upper three floors form a newly renovated three-bedroom, two-bath residence (c.2,200 sq ft) with generous ceiling heights, period features and a 724 sq ft roof garden featuring mature planting — a standout private terrace in this location. The maisonette has a separate entrance, a large principal suite with extensive wardrobe space and an unusually large shower area.
For an occupier-investor or operating brand, the ground and basement (c.3,000 sq ft) provide substantial showroom or studio space with high footfall on City Road near Old Street. The property benefits from prominent corner visibility, strong natural light, excellent transport links and proximity to Tech City, hotels and major retail, supporting both rental and commercial uses.
Practical details and constraints are clear: the asset is sold freehold with an EPC D and business rates payable (ground and basement rateable value £29,000). VAT position is to be advised. Council tax is above average for the residential element. The wider area scores as deprived in official measures and is a multicultural, inner-city neighbourhood — factors that influence tenant mix and lettings strategy.
Overall this is a versatile, high-potential central London freehold that suits a creative operator, showroom occupier or investor seeking a combined commercial/residential asset with a unique roof terrace and strong reversion potential. Buyers should factor in VAT, business rates and position-specific management for the mixed-use aspects.
