"An exemplary penthouse school conversion with a prime Clerkenwell address and a stunning roof terrace.

One of the most recognised buildings in Clerkenwell and Grade II Listed, this dignified Victorian school was sympathetically converted into luxury apartments in 1999, paying attention to the building s character and features. The building impressively retains a sense of grandiosity with elegant turrets, terrazzo tiled communal hallways, impeccable Victorian glazed tiling, tall windows, well tended communal gardens and a day porter.

The apartment offers versatile and flexible accommodation with a superb double height open plan reception room with a ceiling height of 16ft and a recessed kitchen. The principal bedroom located in the double height turret has a dressing area and an ensuite bathroom. There are two further bedrooms, guest bathroom and a separate cloakroom, the apartment also benefits from an off street parking space in the newly refurbished car park, which will also shortly have electric car charging points.

Quietly nestled in the Clerkenwell Green conservation area between the green open spaces of Spa Fields and St James s Gardens, its location is admirable with Farringdon Station Mainline, Thameslink, Underground and soon to open Crossrail and Chancery Lane Underground a short walk away, giving quick and easy access to the City s financial district or London s West End.

Kings Cross St Pancras with its Eurostar links, excellent national services and six Underground lines, is within walking distance. The apartment is also a short stroll to Exmouth Market which has a wonderful selection of independent shops, restaurants and bars as well as one of the best street food markets in London.

Clerkenwell remains London s Avant Garde design district with Internationally recognised furniture and architectural practises, media agencies, tech start ups as well as globally recognised brands such as Linked in, Tik Tok, Bloomberg, Deloitte and Goldman Sachs, all which have headquarters close by.

The House of Detention in the underground vaults of Kingsway Place usually hosts the annual Clerkenwell Design Festival.
