2 bed flat for sale

Warner Street, London EC1R

An exceptionally special Clerkenwell loft apartment.

Housing some of the most spectacular, authentic loft apartments in Clerkenwell - The Warner Building is certainly one of the most visually and architecturally stunning in the area.

A former printer, manufacturer of lenses and clothing as well as The Post office Stores Department, The Warner Building was constructed in 1937 - 38, designed by Waite and Waite for Shropshire House Limited, inspired by the designs of Richard Meier's High Museum in Atlanta. In our opinion it is the finest example of an Art Deco building to be found in Clerkenwell as well as being one of the most sought-after residential buildings in the area.

Quietly located to the rear of the building our client with the guidance of an interior designer has created the most striking home, sympathetically retaining where possible the charm and character of the building.

With exceptionally high ceilings throughout and the benefit of having its own private garden this really is quiet an exceptional loft apartment, comprising a huge open plan living/dining and kitchen area with direct access onto a garden. A generous principal bedroom with ensuite bathroom and comprehensive building wardrobes, a second double bedroom and guest bathroom. Within the flat there is ample storage as well as a utility cupboard whilst below there is a private car park with the apartment having an allocated parking 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.

With great shopping and tremendous diversity of acclaimed restaurants, bars, galleries and wine bars it remains one of London’s best kept secrets, with Exmouth Market and Lambs Conduit Street both close by.

Farringdon underground and main line station is a short stroll away from Warner Street with access to the Circle, Metropolitan and Hammersmith and City lines, National rail as well as the Elizabeth Line. 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.
