Dean Wace House, London EC4A

Steeped in history and rich in character, Dean Wace House takes it's name from the Very Reverend Henry Wace, once Dean of Canterbury. Built in 1868 by acclaimed architect S. Lee for the Press Association, this striking Victorian building was purposefully designed with lofty ceilings and expansive windows, flooding the space with natural light – essential for the proofreading and printing work of the time. It was here that the Press Association laid the foundation for Fleet Street’s rise as the epicentre of the British newspaper industry.

Today, Dean Wace House has been thoughtfully transformed into six exclusive, luxury apartments, nestled within a peaceful, traffic-free courtyard – a rare sanctuary in the heart of the city. Residents enjoy shared ownership of the freehold and parking permits are available via The Corporation of London.

This particular apartment is a beautifully appointed duplex spanning the third and fourth floors and is offered chain-free – ready for immediate occupation. The layout features two spacious double bedrooms, each with en-suite shower rooms and built-in wardrobes. Upstairs, a generous open-plan living space invites both comfort and entertaining, with ample room for a dining area. Double doors lead into a modern, fully fitted kitchen, completing a space that is equally suited to lively dinner parties or quiet evenings at home.

Situation

Perfectly positioned between two of London’s most iconic districts – the historic City to the east and the vibrant West End to the west – Dean Wace House offers the best of both worlds. Covent Garden, the Royal Opera House, world-class dining, boutique shopping, and an endless array of cultural attractions are all just a short walk away.

Transport connections are excellent: City Thameslink (0.2 miles), Chancery Lane (Central Line, 0.2 miles), Blackfriars (National Rail and District & Circle Lines, 0.2 miles), and Farringdon (Metropolitan, District & Circle Lines, 0.3 miles) – now enhanced further by the addition of the Elizabeth Line. Waterloo Station is also within easy reach, providing swift access across London and beyond.
