  • Victorian School Converison
  • Double Height Space
  • Versatile Space
A double height, corner apartment in a former Victorian School building dating to 1877.

Chequer Court is set within a private gated location and is a fine example of Victorian school architecture we see so commonly around the country following the 1870 Education Act offering education to all.

The apartment is exceptionally spacious and being located on a corner, especially bright with huge windows. The accommodation comprises an impressive double height reception room with some exposed brick work and charming period fireplace, opening onto a large kitchen/dining room. There is a large double bedroom with built in wardrobes which galleries over the living area with an ensuite shower room and a further guest bathroom.

Chequer Street leads into Whitecross Street which dates back to the days of King Henry V when the street was given a white cross in relief of the poor. There was also an arch of stone, under which a course of water ran towards Moor, now called Moorfields. Whitecross Street is one of London's oldest markets and dates back to the 17th Century.

The Street is now super fashionable with eclectic shops, an amazing day time food market offering the most diverse culinary delights from around the world, a vibrant coffee culture as well as a Waitrose supermarket. The location has become one of the most "trendy" and "super cool" in London with the area now home to reportedly over 5,000 tech companies and start-ups, in fact CNN European Network, HBO and Time Warner have recently moved headquarters to the area.

The Barbican centre which is a few minutes’ walk away is part of the Global Cultural Districts Network and is the largest performing Art Centre in Europe, hosting music concerts, art exhibitions and film screenings. It is also home to The London Symphony Orchestra, the BBC Symphony Orchestra, the Barbican Art gallery as well as the globally acclaimed Guildhall School of Music and Drama.

Local transport links are outstanding with Barbican, Old Street and Farringdon Stations all a short walk away offering Underground lines (Circle, Hammersmith & City, Metropolitan, Northern and Elizabeth) as well as Mainline access at Farringdon.

A great loft apartment in a cool location.
