Sekforde Street, Clerkenwell, EC1R

This beautifully refurbished Grade II listed two-bedroom period apartment offers generous accommodation, private outdoor space and eligibility for residents’ parking permits, all within a short stroll of Farringdon Station and the amenities of Exmouth Market.


Situated within the sought-after Clerkenwell Green Conservation Area and within easy walking distance of the City of London, this lower ground floor home occupies part of an elegant late Georgian terrace with a fascinating historical pedigree. The building bears a Blue Plaque commemorating John Groom, the philanthropist and social reformer who once lived here and founded workshops employing disabled women and girls to craft handmade artificial flowers.


The apartment benefits from two points of entry: via the main communal entrance at street level or through its own private front door on the lower ground floor.


Internally, the property extends to approximately 850 sq ft and provides well-proportioned lateral accommodation. To the front are two similarly sized principal rooms, offering flexibility to be arranged as bedrooms or reception rooms depending on individual requirements. To the rear, a stylish eat-in kitchen is fitted with soft-close units, wooden worktops and integrated appliances, including an electric hob, all presented in a neutral contemporary finish. There is also scope to configure this area as an open-plan kitchen and living space.


Adjacent to the kitchen, the spacious bathroom is fitted with a three-piece suite comprising a large P-shaped bath with overhead shower, together with ample room for a double vanity unit and illuminated mirrored cabinet.


One of the front rooms opens directly onto a private patio courtyard, providing valuable outdoor space in this central location. A particularly rare feature is the inclusion of two substantial storage vaults extending beneath the pavement, ideal for securely storing bicycles, skis, camping gear and other bulky items.


Residents are eligible for on-street parking permits, and the property is offered with a long lease and modest annual service charges, which include buildings insurance.


Combining period charm with modern practicality, this attractive home retains original sash windows with secondary glazing and enjoys superb connectivity to the City and wider London. Offered chain free with vacant possession, it represents an excellent opportunity for first-time buyers seeking a characterful central London home or investors, including those considering serviced accommodation (subject to survey and any required local authority licensing).
