Features and description

A large two-bedroom two-bathroom duplex set over the 5th and 6th floors of The Lexington, a landmark apartment building located moments from Old Street station and Shoreditch.

This apartment is comprised of two bedrooms, two bathrooms, spacious 6th floor living area with fantastic SW dual aspect, and semi-open plan kitchen and is set over 1,150 sq. ft. of living space. South and west facing and quiet, and with a south facing balcony, it has panoramic views over the City over the greenery and mature trees of historic Bunhill Fields.

The Lexington has 24-hour concierge, a residents’ garden and gym. There is an option to purchase a share of freehold for a modest cost and hyperoptic broadband has recently been installed. The creative industries and start-ups, galleries, bars and restaurants of Shoreditch are on your doorstep and Clerkenwell lies a short walk to the west. It is an area of massive investment and residential and commercial redevelopment, especially along the City Road to the north and the area around Old St station has been coined 'Tech City' due to the number of tech and creative start-ups that have chosen to be located here.

It is superbly located close to Old Street station (Northern line and National Rail), Moorgate and Liverpool St (Elizabeth, Circle, Metropolitan and Hammersmith & City, Northern and National Rail), lie a short walk to the south. The Elizabeth line provides ease of access to Mayfair, Soho and Canary Wharf. Old Street station and the previous Old St roundabout have been dramatically upgraded and refurbished with large parts pedestrianised.

The apartment comes with an allocated underground secure parking space and a long lease. The sale is chain free.
