36-38 Rochester Place, London, NW1 9ET

Description
The approach to the building remains quite charming which although vehicular in nature, remains very lightly used. The structure is arranged predominantly across a level Ground Floor with a formal pedestrian entrance which provides access both through to the open-plan workshop/storage facilities in addition to an internal staircase leading to the First Floor offices. There is also a secure roller shutter entry point for vehicles which leads directly into the Ground Floor demise.

As you enter this vast workshop space you are struck by the excellent natural light, generous ceiling height and comprehensive fit-out installed by the current owner who has utilised the property as a secure destination for vehicular storage. There is an orderly workshop area beyond the road entrance which then enjoys a further roller shutter system which leads directly into a vast open-plan space with power and extensive overhead lighting.

The internal door leads to Ground Floor washrooms, with a staircase heading up to a range of impeccable first floor offices which are bathed in natural light and enjoy an outlook to the front elevation onto the Mews.

Interested parties should note that potential exists for the first floor to be extended to the rear of the site, subject to planning and the necessary structural integrity.

Location
Situated within Inner London in the Borough of Camden, is Rochester Place; a cobbled through road off Camden Road with access to Rochester Mews containing a range of charming original, and in some cases, substantial redeveloped Mews properties. The parade offers a delicate and striking mix of traditional mews buildings and some very striking more recent architectural gems, carefully regulated by the local Conservation Area allowing for a range of businesses and residents to co-exist in this very special London back-water.

This road form part of the Rochester Conservation Area; centered around Rochester Terrace Gardens and designated recently in December 2001, the area has elegant architecture conveying unity, with open spaces in the Gardens and the relatively low height of buildings in comparison to other areas.

A high explosive bomb fell onto Camden Road, right next to Rochester Place, presumably causing significant damage to the properties in World War II and when the London Poverty Maps were first published, the area was deemed to have poorer than average living conditions.
