Bartholomew Close, London EC1A

This one bedroom apartment with high ceilings and large windows is set on the second floor of this attractive period building on the quiet, cobbled Bartholomew Close. The apartment is quiet and bright and has a terrific aspect overlooking historic St Bartholomew the Great.

The apartment is comprised of a living room, separate kitchen with granite work surface and Neff and Siemens appliances, double bedroom with large in-built wardrobes and a main three piece bathroom. There are oak wood floors throughout. The apartment is well presented and cared for with upgraded wiring and fuse board, custom made blinds and recently redecorated throughout.

Bartholomew Close is fantastically located to the south of Farringdon and Clerkenwell and to the north of St Paul's. Its location offers ease of access on foot to the western part of the Square Mile and all of the professional and financial services firms and banks based there. The Barbican Arts Centre is a short walk to the east.

The plentiful bars, restaurants, coffee shops, historic pubs and amenities of Smithfield and Farringdon are close; intimate candlelit Cloth, on Cloth Fair, Club Gascon on West Smithfield, the long standing and acclaimed St John on St John St, highly regarded French restaurant Bouchon Racine on Cowcross St and newcomer Ibai, a Basque grill, on Bartholomew Close.

Nearby stations are Farringdon and Barbican (Elizabeth, National Rail, Hammersmith & City, Circle and Metropolitan lines) and St. Paul's (Central Line). The Elizabeth line provides very quick and easy access to Soho, Marylebone, Mayfair and Canary Wharf.

Bartholomew Close and the EC1A area is the most historic quarter of the City of London - the medieval St Bartholomew the Great church and St Barts Hospital (founded in 1123), Cloth Fair (named after the medieval Bartholomew Fair which took place for centuries in Smithfield) and Pie Corner (where the Great Fire of London was stopped!) are all close.

Smithfield Meat Market is set to close in 2028 after 900 years of market trading on this site and the Victoria market buildings will be redeveloped and repurposed. The Museum of London is set to open in one of the old disused market buildings in coming years as the London Museum.

This is a well presented, quiet and bright one bedroom City apartment and a viewing is recommended. There is a part-time day porter.
