2 bed Flat For Sale £785,000
Leather Lane, EC1N

A superb loft apartment with a private balcony.

A wonderful double height space in this former bullion refinery warehouse, which was occupied in its former life by Johnson Matthey, refiners for the Bank of England and converted into outstanding loft apartments in 2005.

Dating from the 1920's this majestical building is inspired by the Art Deco stylings of Wallis Gilbert and Partners, converted into luxury apartments by Derwent London and is one of the best examples of "Style modernes" to be found in the area.

The accommodation comprises a double height reception room with painted, vaulted ceilings and open plan kitchen, principal bedroom with ensuite bathroom, second double bedroom and guest shower room. To the rear the apartment has access onto a private balcony.

Located in the Hatton Garden conservation, the area derives its name from the garden of the Bishop of Ely which was given to Sir Christopher Wren by Queen Elizabeth I. It became and still is the centre of London's jewellery trade with its origins dating back to the medieval times, with one of the largest companies; De Beers still retaining one of its headquarters in the area.

With a dual aspect, the flat is bright, spacious and beautifully finished and would make the perfect London home or pied a terre.

Its location is enviable, being within proximity to Chancery Lane Underground Station (Central Line) and Farringdon Underground (Circle, Hammersmith and City, Metropolitan and Elizabeth Lines).

This is an exceptional and smart apartment located in a prime location.
