Set in the heart of Clerkenwell, this compact one-bedroom flat offers a rare slice of central-London living with practical running costs. Heating and hot water are covered in the service charge, and the apartment is presented with clean, contemporary finishes — a modern kitchen, shower room and good natural light from large windows and glazed French doors.
The layout is efficient and works well as a first home, pied-à-terre or buy-to-let. A private-feeling communal garden is shared with just one other flat, providing outdoor space that’s unusual for the area. Transport links are excellent, with Farringdon, Angel and the Elizabeth Line within easy reach for swift travel across the capital.
Be aware the accommodation is small (approximately 308 sq ft) and offers limited internal storage. The building is period with solid brick walls likely lacking insulation; this may affect heating efficiency despite the community heating scheme. The neighbourhood is busy and the local crime level is reported above average, so buyers who prioritise maximum space or a very quiet setting should consider this carefully.
Overall, this apartment suits buyers seeking an affordable entry into a prime central location: low running costs, an extended lease and immediate rental or personal-use potential. It’s a compact, well-finished city pad that rewards those who value connectivity and urban character over generous living space.
