Description
Designed in 1904 by J. J. Bradshaw and Gass, Imperial Hall was initially a residence and Methodist mission run by old boys of the Leys School, Cambridge. Nowadays the building is noted for its copper-clad dome, red terracotta exterior and Art Noveau influenced mouldings, a rare sight in the vicinity of Silicon Roundabout.
Internal accommodation is arranged across two floors and a mezzanine. The whole property has been recently remodelled in collaboration with Zachary Pullman Design Studio, creating an open-plan cooking and dining space, benefiting from double-height ceilings, Kochwerk kitchen, invisible up-lighting and floor-to-ceiling windows.
A reception room occupies the whole of the mezzanine level, while a large bathroom and two double bedrooms take up the second floor. The largest of the two bedrooms features fully glazed doors opening out onto a private decked terrace with enough room to entertain in seclusion above the buzz of the city below.
The current owner is finalising the purchase of a share of freehold, this negotiation also includes an extension of the lease length to 999 years and is due to complete imminently.
Situated at the intersection of Shoreditch, Clerkenwell, Islington’s City Road and the City of London finance district, Old Street roundabout is in the process of an extensive regeneration project which will see the creation of a newly pedestrianised infrastructure and communal outdoor spaces.
Imperial Hall is excellently positioned for the restaurants, cafes, galleries and bars of Shoreditch, while also offering proximity to more cerebral entertainments; neighbouring St Luke’s is currently home to the London Symphony Orchestra and the Barbican theatre and cinemas are a mere six-minute walk.
