Characterful one-bed loft near Old Street — chain free with strong transport links.
Chain free one-bedroom loft apartment
A distinctive one-bedroom loft-style apartment in a small boutique warehouse conversion, moments from Old Street and Clerkenwell. The open-plan reception showcases exposed Victorian brickwork, high ceilings, large sash windows and original wooden floors — offering genuine character and strong natural light. The bedroom fits a double and includes built-in storage; the shower room sits off the entrance hall. The flat is sold chain free and has featured in film and TV productions, underlining its visual appeal.
Practical details: the property is leasehold (99 years remaining), with an average service charge of £1,086 and ground rent of £150 per year. Heating is by electric-powered boiler and radiators. Constructed c.1930–1949 with solid brick walls (no assumed cavity insulation) — potential buyers should note possible future insulation or upgrade works. Broadband and mobile signal are excellent.
Location benefits are strong: central transport links (Old Street, Barbican, Farringdon), plentiful cafés, restaurants and cultural venues. However, the immediate area records higher-than-average crime and is classified as deprived; buyers should factor security and travel patterns into their plans. This compact, characterful apartment suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking central Shoreditch/Clerkenwell loft living with renovation and rental potential.
