Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This unique home in Clerkenwell caught our eye for its striking, lofty living area reminiscent of a barn conversion. There’s plenty of room for the group to spread out between the plush lounge and mezzanine seating area, and the full kitchen is sleek and modern. There’s a vintage writer’s desk in the main bedroom for those working remotely and a bar trolley to unwind after – the welcome bottle of wine is a nice touch. This place faces an internal courtyard, so despite the ultra-central location, it’s relatively quiet. St Paul’s Cathedral and the Thames are a short stroll away and Farringdon Station is just four minutes on foot – you'll be well-placed to explore London.
