Description
Description
Kingsway Place was originally converted in 1999 with sensitivity to its architectural provenance, the former Grade II Listed Victorian school retains its unmistakable character. Ornate turrets and original Victorian glazed tiles grace the communal spaces, alongside terrazzo-finished hallways and landscaped residents’ gardens, all overseen by a dedicated day porter.
Inside, the apartment unfolds across voluminous interiors defined by an extraordinary 16-foot ceiling height in the open-plan reception room. Light pours through towering windows, illuminating the expansive living and dining area, seamlessly connected to a recessed, modern kitchen.
The dramatic turreted principal suite benefits from 6m ceilings and stunning wooden beams and features a dressing area and an en suite bathroom. Two further bedrooms, a guest bathroom, and a separate cloakroom provide versatile accommodation.
Additional highlights include a private roof terrace that offers panoramic views over London’s ever-evolving skyline, direct lift access to the apartment and secure off-street parking, featuring EV charging stations.
This incredibly quiet and private residence captures the imagination, a rare opportunity to inhabit a piece of London’s architectural history while enjoying the comfort and design of a thoroughly modern home.
Location
Tucked serenely within the Clerkenwell Green Conservation Area, this residence enjoys a privileged position between the leafy enclaves of Spa Fields and St James’s Gardens.
Just a short stroll from Farringdon Station (560 yards)serviced by National Rail, Thameslink, Underground, and now the Elizabeth Line—residents benefit from seamless access to both the City and the West End. Chancery Lane (0.5 miles) and King's Cross/St Pancras (0.8 miles) are also within walking distance, placing six Underground lines and Eurostar connections to continental Europe within easy reach.
The vibrant Exmouth Market (0.3 miles) offers a mix of independent shops, artisan cafés, celebrated restaurants, and one of London’s most beloved street food scenes.
A nod to its layered history, the atmospheric underground vaults of the former House of Detention at Kingsway Place now serve as a backdrop to the annual Clerkenwell Design Festival.
This is Clerkenwell at its most compelling: historically rich, culturally vibrant, and brilliantly connected.
