Housed in an architecturally striking building in the heart of industrial chic Clerkenwell, this handsome apartment puts you in an ideal position to explore all that this quarter of Central London affords, as well as the delights of nearby Farringdon, Holborn and Old Street. Inside, wood floors and minimalist, contemporary decor set a stylish scene in the bright open-plan living area that gets plenty of light from the glass doors leading out onto a private balcony. Start mornings here with a cup of fresh coffee as you enjoy the calm of your leafy neighbourhood and toast to a good day had over sundowners each evening. The wooden table beckons sociable soirées over homecooked feasts when you’re not out discovering the local restaurant scene, while the pair of comfortable bedrooms beckon a peaceful night’s sleep. When it comes to exploring nearby, you’ve got a wealth of cultural hotspots from which to choose, including The Postal Museum (an eight-minute walk), the Charles Dickens Museum (a twelve-minute walk), as well as the British Museum and the London Museum (both a twenty-minute walk). You’re also a twenty-minute stroll from the Brutalist Barbican Centre, while the mouth-watering food stalls of Smithfield Market are ten minutes away on foot.
