About this property
This breathtaking former warehouse, located on a quiet side street in Clerkenwell still celebrates its rich industrial history, whilst offering a light- filled and luxuriously flexible living space of approximately 4,400 sq feet. Renovated by renowned architect Charles Tashima to its current live/work capacity, the building offers an incredibly quiet oasis, complete with large south facing terrace and front courtyard garden, yet is only minutes from the bustling cultural centre of The Barbican.
The ground floor (once home to The Pet Shop Boys’ recording studio) is designated commercial space with two large rooms (suitable as a studio or office space) and two bathrooms, plus a technology room adjoining a central entrance hall of generous proportions.
The first floor living space is of epic proportions extending to over 18m in length with exposed beams, reclaimed flooring and three sets of floor to ceiling Crittal windows, one set of which leads out onto the terrace.
A weathered timber staircase leads to the top floor housing the enormous master bedroom with en suite and dressing area, as well as a second generously sized bedroom also with vaulted ceilings and en suite. This floor also contains the laundry cleverly disguised behind oak panelling. A further space currently used as a quiet reading / craft area could easily be converted to a third bedroom.
