1 bed flat for sale

Dingley Place III, London EC1V

This beautiful and spacious apartment lies in a converted warehouse on a quiet street between Clerkenwell, Hoxton and Old Street. The majority of its 1,000 sq ft plan is occupied by a large, versatile living space, with original factory windows, oak floorboards, and a wall of tactile exposed brick. The building’s location is unparalleled, bringing much of the City, along with popular east London neighbourhoods, within easy walking distance.

The Tour

Set on Dingley Place, the building represents much of the area’s warehouse vernacular. Its conversion has been exemplary, and its communal spaces are well-maintained. Access to this home, set on the first floor is via lift or stairs. Double doors open to a hallway, which flows effortlessly through to the open-plan living space.

Crisp white walls amplify this room’s brightness, which in turn creates an exaggerated sense of volume. On the left is an elegant bespoke kitchen, with white cabinetry and a stainless-steel-topped oak island. There is an integrated dishwasher, oven and an induction hob. Abundant storage is cleverly concealed and illuminated by discreet lights. The remainder of the room is wonderfully flexible and expansive enough to accommodate distinct dining and sitting areas. At the far end are French doors that open to a Juliet balcony.

Fine oak flooboards continue into the adjacent sleeping space, delineated by large, floor-to-ceiling Crittall-style dividers. This area has bespoke cabinetry and a luxurious freestanding bath. A separate shower room lies across the entrance hall, revealed by a sliding door. Spacious in its own right, the room has a considered finish, with white metro tiles, a walk-in shower and ceramic floor tiles.

Next to the bathroom and the front door is a walk-in wardrobe, a well-conceived space with built-in storage. It also houses a washer/dryer and can be used as a utility space.

The Area

Dingley Place is a quiet street of mostly warehouse conversions. Popular with architects and design studios, the neighbourhood is renowned for the quality and variety of its bars, pubs and restaurants, most notably the nearby St. John and Luca. Exmouth Market, Shoreditch, Covent Garden and Soho are all within walking distance and offer excellent choices for shopping and eating.

The Barbican Centre, with its world-class cultural programme of cinema, music, theatre, talks and exhibitions, is a few minutes’ walk from the apartment. Victoria Miro is also close by, as is the Curzon in Hoxton.

Although much of the city is reachable on foot, the apartment is well-placed for transport links: Old Street station is around seven minutes' walk away. Barbican and Farringdon (Elizabeth line) stations are also close by and serve a mix of the Circle, Hammersmith & City, and Metropolitan, and Elizabeth lines, as well as the Thameslink to Gatwick Airport.
