Description
Originally constructed in 1925 as the head office for the Poppy Foundation, this historic building has undergone transformation from a manufacturing hub for Remembrance Day poppies to a toy importer’s warehouse, before being imaginatively repurposed into one of London’s finest loft residences in 1996. Each loft, originally sold as blank canvases, now boasts a distinctive character tailored to the individual preferences of its occupants.
Crafted by the esteemed architectural firm Brookes Stacy Randall, this specific loft stands as a testament to their unparalleled design prowess, earning accolades and gracing the pages of many esteemed architectural and design publications. Conceptualised as a permanent residence for its current owners, the design ethos revolves around the integration of flow, light, and space, all while preserving the factory's original charm and structural integrity.
Upon entry, guests are greeted by the allure of curved opaqued glass walls, guiding them towards the vast living expanse. Here, an open-plan kitchen, strategically positioned at the heart of the space, facilitates effortless zoning of the triple-aspect room, obviating the need for partitioning walls and ensuring an abundance of natural light throughout the day.
This captivating warehouse conversion boasts one of the most exceptional features—an expansive roof terrace spanning approximately 1800 sq feet, a rare gem in urban-living. The loft also retains its industrial heritage, with exposed brickwork, towering factory windows, 2.94 meter-high ceilings and resplendent solid timber floors.
Two generously proportioned bedrooms and bathrooms, discreetly positioned allow the living area to command attention, effortlessly showcasing the architectural splendour within.
Situated in the heart of Kings Cross, York Central offers unrivalled proximity to Kings Cross and St Pancras International stations, as well as the vibrant N1C regeneration zone. Residents benefit from access to Granary Square, Coal Drop Yard's diverse array of shops and eateries, and the convenience of a nearby Waitrose supermarket.
Additional advantages include a share of freehold, a chain-free vendor, and secure underground parking, culminating in an unparalleled opportunity to experience the epitome of loft living in one of London's most dynamic locations.
Service charge includes sinking fund, buildings insurance, freeholders' administration or management charges, repairs to shared areas and exteriors, cleaning services, roof terrace condition, lit and CCTV
