1 bed flat for sale

Sekforde Street, Clerkenwell EC1R

This spacious and recently renovated grade II listed 1-bedroom period apartment has private outside space, residential parking permissions and located just a short-walk from Farringdon Station and popular Exmouth Market.

Located within the Clerkenwell Green conservation area, and walking distance to the City, this lower ground floor 1-bedroom apartment forms part of a handsome late-Georgian-era terrace with notable historic provenance. The building displays a Blue Plaque honouring philanthropist and evangelical reformer John Groom who lived here. He is remembered for founding workshops for disabled women and girls who created handmade artificial flowers.

This property has the benefit of dual access, either through the communal front door at ground level, or direct access into the flat via its own front entrance at lower ground level.

Internally, the apartment offers approximately 850 square feet of well-balanced living space across a lateral layout. To the front, two near-equal sized rooms can be used interchangeably a reception or bedroom.
A contemporary dine-in kitchen is neatly located to the rear and has potential for use as an open-plan living space. Features include soft-close cabinetry with wooden worktops containing integrated appliances including an electric hob and finished in a neutral palette.
Adjacent to the kitchen, the generously proportioned bathroom contains a 3-piece suite including a large p-shaped bath with shower overhead and enough space to accommodate a vanity sink with a double basin setup with a backlit mirrored cabinet above.
The private patio courtyard (accessed through one of the front rooms) provides welcome outside space in the heart of the city. An unusual feature are the two storage vaults which lead under the street and are large enough to accommodate bicycles or other items such as skis or camping equipment not suited for keeping inside 1-bedroom apartment.

Residents’ have the added benefit of on-street residential parking permissions, a long lease and low annual service charges which include buildings insurance.

This is a well-appointed home with historic character such as the sash windows with secondary glazing that benefits from excellent transport links and proximity to central London. Offered to market chain free and sold with vacant possession, it is an excellent option for first-time buyers seeking an affordable central property with period charm yet the benefit of modern conveniences or buy-to-let investors (including serviced accommodation model landlords) could potentially lease the flat as a 2-bedroom property (subject to survey and local authority licensing permissions) to maximise return on investment.
