3 bed Flat For Sale £2,000,000
This incredibly bright penthouse apartment rests atop a collection of former warehouses and workshops in the heart of Clerkenwell which were converted in the 1960s to a design by the architect Richard Seifert. This particular apartment harnesses light brilliantly with glazing across both north and south aspects. It is spread across two levels and approximately 1,670 sq ft of internal space with two bedrooms and three large terraces.
The Tour
Access to the apartment is via lift to the lower level or stairs to both upper and lower levels. The main entrance is on the fifth floor and opens to a hallway with sleeping and living divided north and south.
Double doors to the right open the north-facing reception, an enormous open-plan arrangement of the sitting room, dining and kitchen that stretches almost 45 feet from east to west. North-facing glazing spans the entire length and offers several routes onto the similarly substantial front terrace. From the south, clerestory windows flood the space with further light, and above them, a gently arching ceiling slopes to meet the Crittall windows of the lower level. Hardwood floors extend throughout.
To the left of the dining space is the kitchen, a bespoke design by Zampieri with a striking punctuation of cabinets in a colour very close to International Klein Blue and natural granite worktops interrupted by inline hobs. A rooflight overhead invites light into the space.
At the opposite end of the reception is a room currently used as a soundproofed studio, which could easily be opened to the main space or used as a third bedroom.
Steps by the double doors lead to a fantastic mezzanine area currently used as an office. This looks over the sitting room and leads directly onto a terrace in excess of 200 sq ft, with excellent views in every direction.
The two bath and shower rooms occupy the centre of the plan and invite light from the reception through sections of glass brick walls and a large rooflight in one. Marble lines the floors in each, with walls of mosaic tiles and fittings by Agape and Antonio Lupi.
Along the southern side of the plan are a utility room and two bedrooms. Both bedrooms have doors opening onto a wonderful shared terrace, and the larger of the two has built-in wardrobes and an en suite bathroom.
The Area
Great Sutton Street lies in the heart of Clerkenwell, renowned for the quality and variety of its bars, pubs and restaurants. Exmouth Market, Whitecross Street Market, Covent Garden and Soho are all within walking distance and offer further choices. The Barbican Centre, with its world-class cultural programme of cinema, music, theatre, talks and exhibitions, is less than a 10-minute walk. The Museum of London, Sadler’s Wells Theatre and Tate Modern Gallery are all within easy reach.
Barbican underground station is approximately 400 metres to the south, and Farringdon station is less than 10 minutes’ walk away, running Circle, Metropolitan and Hammersmith & City lines, as well as Thameslink and National Rail services providing quick access to the West End and London’s major airports. Farringdon Station also offers the new Crossrail station linking Central London to Heathrow. Angel station is 15 minutes' walk to the north for access to the Northern Line.
