2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Short walk to Chancery Lane and Farringdon; ripe for refurbishment.
Third-floor two-bedroom apartment in Victorian block, 466 sq ft
This compact two-bedroom third-floor apartment sits in a handsome Victorian block in the heart of EC1N, a short walk from Chancery Lane (0.2 miles) and Farringdon (0.3 miles). With 466 sq ft, generous ceiling heights and period sash windows, it offers characterful city living with excellent transport links and immediate access to Hatton Garden’s amenities and central London workplaces.
The layout includes a separate kitchen, large lounge, two double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The flat benefits from gas central heating, double glazing and plentiful natural light, making it comfortable to occupy while you plan upgrades. The property is offered chain free and has a remaining lease of approximately 95 years.
Practical points to note: the apartment requires refurbishment throughout to bring it to modern standards. Service charge and ground rent are modest (£1,500pa service charge; £10pa ground rent), and the EPC rating is C. Crime levels in the local area are reported as very high, so buyers should consider security measures and local context when viewing.
This is best suited to a buyer seeking a central London pied-a-terre, an owner-occupier ready to renovate, or an investor looking for a well-located refurb project with short-term letting or resale potential.
