This extraordinary two bedroom loft apartment is positioned over the 5th and 6th floor of a former warehouse in the heart of Clerkenwell, a short walk from Exmouth Market. The apartment has the prestige of a St John Street address, but is favourably and quietly positioned to the rear of the building, overlooking Agdon Street.

Spread over 1750 sq ft, with two private roof terraces, this is a truly unique find in EC1.

Central to the loft's uniqueness is a 5 metre high window which allows natural light to pour into both levels of the loft, a sliding door gives access to the first terrace some 30 foot in length. Upstairs, a second terrace, at 6th floor level offers a views across to the city of London.

When designing the 6th floor, the principal bedroom was given precedent in favour of a third bedroom - meaning over 700 square foot of bedroom space housing a walk-in dressing room, en-suite bathroom and a statement bed, overlooking the atrium. A second double bedroom with en-suite is positioned off the reception room.

198 St John Street was built in the early 1900s by Boreham, Son and Wallace as a warehouse for The United Yeast Company, before it became the headquarters of the Scholl Manufacturing Company in the early 1930s. The building was converted into lofts in the 1990s, including lift access to all floors.

When the current owners purchased the loft in the 90's, the space was completely open-plan bar the supporting columns, meaning an incoming purchaser has huge scope to reconfigure the loft to their own needs, should they desire.

The property also comes with a secure underground parking space.

St John Street, in Clerkenwell, is one of London's most sought after and fashionable locations with easy access to both The City and West End.

The loft is moments from Farringdon Underground Station with the newly opened Elizabeth line taking you to the west end in minutes, as well as Heathrow in under 45 minutes. The Thames link is just one stop to Kings Cross St Pancras and Eurostar.
