A rare freehold mews office in the heart of King’s Cross, offered with vacant possession and flexible purchase options. The Mews occupies 4,979 sq ft NIA (5,942 sq ft GIA) around a secure, private courtyard (approx. 2,887 sq ft) and sits literally a minute from King’s Cross station, giving exceptional transport connectivity.
The building combines contemporary fit-out with surviving period fabric, bright open-plan space and a pleasant kitchen/breakout area overlooking the courtyard. It is in Class E use and benefits from planning flexibility—subject to consents the property could be repurposed for residential, education or leisure uses.
For investors or owner-occupiers this is a strategic central London freehold with conversion upside. The share capital of the SPV holding the property is also available for acquisition, offering potential SDLT efficiency. Vacant possession can be provided by 28 February 2026 and offers are invited in excess of £5,000,000.
Buyers should note material local factors: the property lies within the King’s Cross St Pancras Conservation Area, and the wider area scores high on deprivation and very high crime statistics. The building will need a considered refurbishment for alternative uses and some parts could be returned to use following works.
