2 bed flat for sale

Clerkenwell Road, London EC1M

A truly exception apartment of grand proportions with plenty of charm and character.

Designed by the riba architect practice H. Saxon Snell & Son, The Red House is an impressive Queen Anne style mansion block which dates to 1885, originally forming part of the administrative offices for the Holborn Union Board of Guardians.

The building was converted into apartments in 1994 by Croft Homes in association with the architects Michael Sierens Associates and remains an iconic Clerkenwell landmark.

Offering super accommodation, the apartment comprises a double height reception room with original wood flooring, period fireplace and eight huge windows and a separate kitchen. There is a principal bedroom suite in the loft space with an ensuite bathroom, second bedroom on the mezzanine level which has access onto a terrace via a small window (waiting for confirmation on its demise), shower room and separate cloakroom.

This apartment epitomises the love affair our buyers have with Clerkenwell with delightful period features, high ceilings, and huge windows. Clerkenwell’s industrial past has meant that the area has some of the most exquisite and quirky spaces one can find, with many factories, office buildings, printers, haberdashers, distilleries, breweries, gemmologists, and smokehouses, now transformed into homes which amalgamate industrial and commercial spaces with the finest design finishes.

Its position is exceptional, right in the heart of Clerkenwell, moments from Farringdon underground and main line station with access to the Circle, Metropolitan and Hammersmith and City lines, National rail as well as the Elizabeth Line.

In fact, it is one of the only stations in London that offers north-south as well as east – west connections, making the city, Canary Wharf and London's west end easily accessible, not to mention easy access to Kings Cross St Pancras with its Eurostar terminus.

An exceptional apartment within a sought after building.
