This compact two-bedroom flat on the fourth floor offers a bright reception room, a separate kitchen and practical built-in wardrobes — all within 573 sq ft. Positioned in a secure block with lift, it suits a first-time buyer seeking an affordable foothold in Clerkenwell, moments from Exmouth Market and strong transport links at Angel and Farringdon.
Interiors are well-proportioned for the size and benefit from natural light and double glazing. Heating is electric via room heaters; buyers should budget for potentially higher running costs or consider upgrading the heating system. The building dates from the 1980s and presents straightforward scope for modernisation rather than major structural work.
This is a leasehold flat in an affluent inner-city neighbourhood popular with white-collar workers. Local schooling includes several highly rated primaries nearby. On the downside, the area records very high crime levels, which may affect some buyers’ preferences and insurance costs.
In short, the property is a practical, well-located small home with clear potential to personalise and add value through cosmetic improvements and services upgrades. It is best suited to those prioritising location and transport links over generous floor area.
