Location

St. John Street is widely regarded as the spine of Clerkenwell, an area celebrated for its architectural heritage, creative energy and some of London's finest warehouse residences. Positioned toward the northern end of this historic thoroughfare, the property enjoys an enviable location perfectly balanced between the commercial heart of the City and the vibrant, village like atmosphere of Islington.

Exmouth Market (0.4 miles), offers an eclectic mix of independent cafés, bakeries and restaurants, while nearby Smithfield (0.5 miles), is home to some of London's most respected culinary institutions, including St. JOHN and Smiths of Smithfield. Culture and leisure options abound, with the Barbican Centre (0.9 miles) providing world-class music, theatre, cinema and exhibitions, alongside the green open spaces of Spa Fields (0.3 miles) and Regent's Canal (0.8 miles).

The area is exceptionally well served by transport, making it one of the most connected locations in central London. Farringdon Station (0.4 miles), Angel Station (0.5 miles), Barbican Station (0.6 miles) and Old Street (0.6 miles) offer access to the London Underground (Northern Line, Elizabeth, Circle, Hammersmith & City, Circle, and Metropolitan lines), National Rail and Thameslink services.

This exceptional connectivity, combined with Clerkenwell's rich character, thriving food and cultural scene, and proximity to both the City and Islington, makes St. John Street one of the most compelling residential addresses in EC1.

Description

Positioned on the second floor of a highly regarded Clerkenwell warehouse conversion, this impressive one bedroom apartment extends to approximately 1,415 sq ft, offering generous lateral living space with excellent natural light.

The apartment retains many of the characteristics associated with authentic warehouse living, including original Crittall windows and hardwood flooring throughout.

The accommodation is centred around an expansive south west facing reception room, where large warehouse windows draw in excellent natural light throughout the afternoon and evening. Adjoining this is a spacious open plan kitchen and dining area, providing an ideal layout for both everyday living and entertaining.

The principal bedroom is well sized and benefits from a large separate walk in wardrobe, providing excellent storage. Given the apartment's substantial footprint and lateral configuration, there is also scope to create a second bedroom, subject to the usual planning and building consents.

The building itself dates from the early 1900s and was originally constructed as a warehouse for the United Yeast Company, later becoming the London headquarters of Scholl Manufacturing Company. It was converted into residential apartments in the late 1990s and remains one of Clerkenwell's most recognised warehouse buildings, characterised by its red brick façade and distinctive industrial windows.
