Description
This well-presented quiet 530 sq. ft. flat is located in Chequer Court, EC1, a converted Victorian school and a secure walled and gated development. The flat is on the lower ground floor and has its own private entrance. It is comprised of a large L shaped entrance hall with fitted storage, a double bedroom, semi-open plan kitchen, bathroom and a living room.
Chequer Court is located in a quiet, calm, quarter of EC1 south of Old Street, close to historic Bunhill Fields, Quaker Gardens and Whitecross St. A short walk to the east is Shoreditch with its galleries, restaurants, bars, creative industries and bustling nightlife. Whitecross St has a weekday food market, Waitrose, numerous other shops, amenities, restaurants and eateries. The banks, firms and financial institutions of the City of London and the world-famous Barbican Arts Centre lie to the south. The closest stations are Old Street (Northern and National Rail) and Moorgate (Elizabeth, Circle, Metropolitan, Hammersmith & City, Northern and National Rail). The Elizabeth line offers ease of access to Canary Wharf and the West End.
The seller says "For the last 18 years I have been privileged to live in a piece of London history, this beautiful, converted Victorian school. The flat's private entrance, opening onto the secure, gated garden with blooming cherry blossom trees in the Spring, has provided endless enjoyment. Over the years I've been spoilt with Whitecross Street Market and the Barbican Centre just a short walk away from this quiet and peaceful escape in the City."
This is a terrific opportunity for an investor or for a first-time buyer, maybe a City young professional looking for their first pad. Chain free.
