Set across 1,559 sq ft in a converted Edwardian warehouse, this first-floor apartment combines industrial character with substantial living space. Triple-aspect Crittall-style windows, exposed brick and high ceilings create light, dramatic rooms ready for a bespoke redesign. The property is chain-free and comes with a brand new 999-year lease for long-term security.
The layout includes three generous double bedrooms and one smaller room that could be removed to enlarge the open-plan living area, which already exceeds 800 sq ft. A large private roof terrace extends the living space outdoors — a rare central-London asset. The flat’s mid-terrace building sits within easy walking distance of Old Street, Farringdon, Angel and Barbican stations, offering excellent transport links and local amenities.
This is a renovation project: the apartment requires updating throughout, with assumed uninsulated solid brick walls and existing boiler-and-radiator heating. Council tax is described as quite expensive and the area records above-average crime levels; on-street parking is by permission only. For buyers seeking a high-ceilinged, characterful apartment with significant reconfiguration potential close to Clerkenwell’s amenities, this presents a blank canvas with strong upside.
