Back in the early 1990’s The Manhattan Loft corporation along with the ideas of award-winning architect Piers Gough introduced loft living to Clerkenwell, converting this imposing former printing manufacturer into innovative and creative places to live. They broke away from the uniform and conformist way of living, creating voluminous spaces that were energising, filled with light, retaining a little of the industrial past that Clerkenwell is so connected to.
Designed by the celebrated architect Stanley Peach in the 1930’s, best known for his design of the Centre Court for the Lawn Tennis Association at Wimbledon, this commanding building represents Clerkenwell.
In the favoured location within the building this apartment is loft living at its finest, with double height ceilings, exposed brick work, crittall windows, exposed concrete and gallery.
The accommodation is extremely flexible and versatile with open spaces creating two separate bedroom areas, two living spaces, an open plan kitchen, bathroom, shower room and utility space.
Clerkenwell first became a fashionable place to live in the 17th century as a destination where Londoners enjoyed tea gardens, theatres and spas: in fact, you can still see part of Clerks’ Well after which Clerkenwell was originally named. The area later became famous as a centre for clock and watchmaking alongside the jewellers and goldsmiths of Hatton Garden. It remains one of the best-preserved village centres in central London – a vibrant modern community with a fascinatingly rich history. It remains London’s most contemporary design district, with globally acclaimed architect practices, furniture designers and Tech companies calling Clerkenwell home.
Summer Street runs parallel to Clerkenwell Road and off Back Hill moment from Farringdon Underground (Circle, Metropolitan, Hammersmith and City and Elizabeth lines) as well as National Rail. In fact, it is one of the only stations in London that offers north-south as well as east – west connections, making the city, Canary Wharf and London's west end easily accessible, not to mention easy access to Kings Cross St Pancras with its Eurostar terminus.
But if transport is not your thing, not to worry, The City’s financial district, Covent Garden, Lincoln’s Inn, Bloomsbury, Islington and Kings Cross are all within walking distance, whilst the area is serviced by a fine selection of supermarkets, restaurant and bars which can be found on Exmouth Market, Leather Lane, Clerkenwell Road and Lambs Conduit Street.
An exciting opportunity to purchase an important part of Clerkenwell history.
