Vast lateral apartment in one of Clerkenwell's finest warehouse buildings.

Description

An exceptional lateral loft apartment occupying the fourth floor of one of Clerkenwell’s most celebrated warehouse conversions. Extending to approximately 2,732 sq ft, the apartment has been intelligently created through the amalgamation of two adjoining units, resulting in a beautifully balanced home that combines dramatic volume with highly functional living spaces.

At the heart of the property is a striking open plan reception room of impressive proportions, offering a sense of openness rarely found in central London. The space is defined by its authentic industrial features, including exposed brickwork, concrete beams and wide solid timber flooring, all of which reference the building’s historic origins while providing a refined backdrop for contemporary living and entertaining.

The bedroom accommodation is discreetly positioned to the rear of the apartment, ensuring privacy and calm. There are two exceptionally generous double bedrooms, both capable of accommodating additional seating or storage. The principal bedroom is particularly notable, featuring a substantial dressing area and a luxurious en suite bathroom. A further shower room and guest WC serve the remainder of the apartment.

In addition, the layout benefits from a separate study, ideal for home working, along with a dedicated utility room and extensive built-in storage throughout — a rare advantage for a warehouse conversion of this nature.

This is a home that successfully marries scale, character and practicality, set within a landmark Clerkenwell building renowned for its architectural presence and prime location close to the City, Farringdon and the cultural heart of EC1.

Location

St. John Street is widely regarded as the spine of Clerkenwell, an area celebrated for its architectural heritage, creative energy and some of London’s finest warehouse residences. Positioned toward the northern end of this historic thoroughfare, the property enjoys an enviable location perfectly balanced between the commercial heart of the City and the vibrant, village like atmosphere of Islington.

Exmouth Market (0.4 miles), offers an eclectic mix of independent cafés, bakeries and restaurants, while nearby Smithfield (0.5 miles), is home to some of London’s most respected culinary institutions, including St. JOHN and Smiths of Smithfield. Culture and leisure options abound, with the Barbican Centre (0.9 miles) providing world-class music, theatre, cinema and exhibitions, alongside the green open spaces of Spa Fields (0.3 miles) and Regent’s Canal (0.8 miles).

The area is exceptionally well served by transport, making it one of the most connected locations in central London. Farringdon Station (0.4 miles), Angel Station (0.5 miles), Barbican Station (0.6 miles) and Old Street (0.6 miles) offer access to the London Underground (Northern Line, Elizabeth, Circle, Hammersmith & City, Circle, and Metropolitan lines), National Rail and Thameslink services.

This exceptional connectivity, combined with Clerkenwell’s rich character, thriving food and cultural scene, and proximity to both the City and Islington, makes St. John Street one of the most compelling residential addresses in EC1.
