Compact, characterful one-bed with communal garden and heating included — perfect central London pied-à-terre.
Bright one-bedroom with modern kitchen and shower room
Set on Clerkenwell Road, this compact one-bedroom apartment occupies a central, well-connected location ideal for a first home, pied-à-terre or buy-to-let. The flat is smartly finished with a modern open-plan kitchen, shower room and good natural light from a corner position. Heating and hot water are included in the service charge, simplifying bills and reducing running costs.
The building is a period Victorian block with attractive exterior detail and high ceilings that add character. The flat opens onto a secluded communal garden shared with only one other flat — a rare private-feeling outdoor space in central London. The extended lease (179 years remaining) and modest ground rent (£10) are practical ownership features for buyers and investors.
Buyers should note the apartment is small (308 sq ft / 28.7 sq m) and arranged over a lower-ground layout with compact rooms and a small shower room. The area has above-average crime statistics and is classified as very deprived, so factor this into lifestyle and rental assessments. Street-facing location on a busy thoroughfare may bring traffic noise; check glazing and sound insulation if noise is a concern.
Before committing, confirm recent service charge figures, any planned communal works and the building’s reserve funds. Overall, this property offers a rare, low-running-cost central London pied-à-terre or rental opportunity for someone prioritising location, character and convenience over internal space.
