6 bed flat for sale

Norfolk House, Trig Lane, London EC4V

Built-in the early 1980s and designed by Richard Seifert, one of post-war Britain's influential architects, Norfolk House remains one of the City's most coveted river-side apartment blocks, where few are rarely seen on the open market.

This well-appointed home was enhanced during the current custodian's tenure. It offers exceptional proportions and versatile accommodation with approximately 2,662 sq ft across the top two floors of the building and beautiful Dinisen flooring throughout.

A bright and large entrance hall with ample amounts of useful storage and river views greets you and makes a wonderful first impression. As it currently stands, there are five/six bedrooms (one ensuite Jack and Jill bathroom), and from the hallway, there is access to a large decked and river-facing terrace, which is accessed via large, glazed doors.

The main living area offers a quadruple aspect with a double-height ceiling and a wonderful view of the river, framed by glazed doors that open onto a south-facing balcony, with access to the terrace.

The kitchen area is well appointed and well planned, with an array of fitted cupboards and a central island that offers more worktop space and doubles up as a breakfast bar. The kitchen is complete with Gaggenau built-in appliances, including a double oven, steamer and hob.

A beautiful statement staircase leads upwards to three ensuite bedrooms all with fitted wardrobes. The master-bedroom has an iconic London view and access to its own terrace.

There are also two allocated parking spaces.

Norfolk House is located on the banks of the Thames, opposite Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, and stands as a significant example of Seifert's contribution to London's architectural identity. With clean lines and functional elegance, it reflects Seifert's modernist approach. Its riverside location offers expansive views of the Thames, which enhances the property's value.

The apartment is well connected, with Blackfriars Station offering direct links to Gatwick Airport, Underground stations for Central, District, and Circle lines, and Blackfriars Pier less than 10 minutes away for frequent river bus services.

The redevelopment of the nearby Millennium Bridge House will add further allure to the area with rooftop and riverside restaurants, a rooftop garden, and retail units. The opening of the riverside walk along the north bank will also enhance the surroundings. The building's proximity to key cultural and financial landmarks, including St. Paul's Cathedral and The Shard, further elevates its appeal.

Local amenities include St Paul's Cathedral, the Barbican Centre, the Millennium Bridge, and Tate Modern. Richard Seifert's association with Norfolk House adds to its architectural and historical significance, making it a prestigious offering in the London real estate market.
