A Timeless Freehold Home in the Historic Heart of London – 1,580 sqft Across Five Elegant Floors

Positioned within the revered Fleet Street Conservation Area, this beautifully preserved Grade II listed freehold townhouse offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of London’s rich architectural and cultural history. Spanning approximately 1,580 sqft over five floors, the home blends early 19th-century charm with modern comfort—ideally suited for those seeking character, flexibility, and connectivity in the heart of the capital.

On the ground floor, a sleek fitted kitchen opens into a generous dining space—perfect for both everyday living and entertaining. The first-floor reception room exudes elegance, bathed in natural light with sash windows overlooking the surrounding historic streetscape.

Three bedrooms are arranged across the upper floors and served by two full bathrooms, including one en-suite, plus a convenient guest WC. On the lower ground level, a versatile room offers exceptional flexibility—ideal as a home office, gym, guest bedroom, or creative studio.

The loft space provides a vast amount of additional storage - perfect for your London home.

The home enjoys an incredibly central ‘Midtown’ location, perfectly situated between the City and the West End, and close to prestigious institutions including King’s College London, the London School of Economics, and the City of London Schools for boys and girls.

Transport connectivity is outstanding: Farringdon Station offers direct trains to Heathrow, Gatwick, and Luton airports, and is just one stop from Liverpool Street for direct access to Stansted. Chancery Lane is two stops from Bank, where the DLR connects to London City Airport.

Steeped in literary and legal history, the area was once the haunt of Charles Dickens and is still home to some of London’s most iconic pubs, including Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese, rebuilt after the Great Fire of 1666, and The Tipperary, believed to be the first Irish pub outside Ireland. The house itself is even featured in London’s Hidden Walks by Stephen Millar (Vol. 2, p.121), where it’s noted that Dr Johnson’s historic home is just around the corner.

A walk east along Fleet Street brings with it a striking view of St Paul’s Cathedral, rising majestically ahead. And the future is just as exciting: A major development is underway nearby to deliver 18 new courtrooms and the new City of London Police HQ by 2028, alongside the new Museum of London at Smithfield, which is set to be a major cultural landmark.

This is a home that not only offers timeless character and flexibility but places you right at the crossroads of London’s past, present, and future.
