Myddelton Square, EC1R

A gracious, laterally arranged apartment spanning two Georgian houses.

Occupying the piano Nobile or bel étage this significant apartment sits on the principal floor of a grand period Georgian house, distinguished by its almost floor-to-ceiling windows, elegant proportions, and enchanting views. With ornate balconies and access to a communal garden, it enjoys a commanding position on one of London’s most handsome garden squares, with both the drawing room and principal bedroom overlooking the leafy splendour of Myddelton Square.

Dating from 1827–1829, this Grade II listed Georgian house forms part of the masterful layout by William Chadwell Mylne, the renowned surveyor, architect, and civil engineer of the New River Estate. Mylne was responsible for shaping much of the surrounding area including New River Head, Inglebert Street, and River Street and later designed the striking Gothic Revival St Mark’s Church that anchors Myddelton Square.

In need of updating, the accommodation features a magnificent formal drawing room with exceptionally high ceilings and two vast sash windows opening onto an original wrought-iron Juliette balcony. The principal bedroom, also facing the Square, enjoys similar grand proportions and direct access to its own original Juliette balcony. A second double bedroom, a recently fitted kitchen, and a bathroom complete the internal layout. To the rear, residents benefit from shared use of a tranquil communal garden.

Situated between Amwell Street and St John Street, the apartment is moments from Exmouth Market, Rosebery Avenue, Angel, and Spa Fields.

Transport connections are superb: Angel Underground (Northern Line) and Farringdon Station (Circle, Metropolitan, Hammersmith & City, mainline services, and Crossrail/Elizabeth Line) are a short walk away, with numerous bus routes providing swift access to London’s West End.

The area’s cultural and historic significance is considerable. Rosebery Avenue is home to the world-renowned Sadler’s Wells Theatre and the historic New River Head, engineered in the early 1600s by Sir Hugh Myddelton to bring fresh water to London. Today, Clerkenwell is one of London’s most vibrant neighbourhoods, celebrated as the city’s avant-garde design district, home to acclaimed galleries, bespoke shops, and the greatest concentration of architectural practices anywhere in the world.

The Inns of Court at Gray’s Inn and Lincoln’s Inn, the City of London, and the tech hub around Old Street’s “Silicon Roundabout” now hosting over 5,000 tech companies and start-ups are all within easy walking distance. At the southern end of St John Street lies the Barbican Centre, part of the Global Cultural Districts Network and Europe’s largest performing arts centre.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a truly special apartment on one of the prettiest and most sought-after Squares in London.
