Benjamin Street, EC1M

A delightful Clerkenwell home quietly located between Britton Street and Turnmill Street.

The building began life as a Printworks in the mid 1960's designed by Westmore & Partners, converted to stunning apartments in the late 1990's by EPR Architects. Ranked in the top twenty practices in the Architects Journal 100, as well as being the winners of the AJ100 Clients' Choice Awards, they retained the exposed concrete frame complimenting the structure with graphite colour bricks.

The current owner has carried out over time, a precise refurbishment programme creating a comfortable home with a recently installed kitchen, two bathrooms and new windows.

The very generous accommodation comprises a large open plan reception/dining and kitchen space, principal bedroom with ensuite shower room and walk in wardrobe, guest double bedroom, guest shower room and ample storage space throughout.

The apartment's location in Clerkenwell is enviable – Benjamin Street is a quiet, one-way street facing onto St John’s Gardens in the Clerkenwell Green conservation area.

Clerkenwell first became a fashionable place to live in the 17th century as a destination where Londoners enjoyed tea gardens, theatres and spas: in fact, you can still see part of Clerks’ Well after which Clerkenwell was originally named. The area later became famous as a centre for clock and watchmaking alongside the jewellers and goldsmiths of Hatton Garden. It’s remains one of the best-preserved village centres in central London – a vibrant modern community with a fascinatingly rich history.

Clerkenwell has been described as the London equivalent of New York’s East Village, but with more notable and diverse architecture and a rich history.

With great shopping and tremendous diversity of acclaimed restaurants, bars, galleries and wine bars it remains one of London’s best kept secrets.

Farringdon underground and main line station is a short stroll away with access to the Circle, Metropolitan and Hammersmith and City lines, National rail and the recently opened 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.
