CHURCH COTTAGE TO RENT IN THE CITY

Hurford Salvi Carr are delighted to be marketing a rare and unique property for rental in the City. "The Lodge" is a charming one bedroom Victorian house set within the grounds of St Andrew's Church in Holborn. Formerly used by this Guild Church to house its clergy, the miniature house is now being offered on the open market and is seeking a new tenant.

St Andrew's Church at Holborn Circus was rebuilt by Sir Christopher Wren and the Lodge is set within the grounds of the vicarage. It is almost totally obscured from the street by a perimeter wall, making it quietly tucked away from the buzz of central London.

Angela Kelly, Lettings Manager of Hurford Salvi Carr's City Lettings office says, "It is amazing to find such a quaint one-off in the heart of the City. The Lodge would ideally suit a banker or barrister looking for a weekday pied-a-terre as they could walk to and from work in minutes, returning at the end of the day to a pretty village style home in EC4. If a tenant were to stay on at the weekend, it is possible to look out of the window one Saturday to find wedding guests awaiting the bride, take your Sunday coffee and papers outside with you to sit in the church's public gardens just a few steps from the front door or take a stroll to One New Change for some shopping and lunch at Jamie Oliver's Barbecoa. Being very much a working church, a tenant would never get bored."



Tenants can pop back at lunchtime for a break from the office by catching one of the many scheduled recitals and lectures or pass the time in the evening by attending a concert. Prospective residents should be aware that the clocks chime every 15 minutes (but not throughout the night!) and there is occasional weekend bell-ringing practice. Corporate entertaining can be organised on site as it is possible to book a range of function rooms, including the crypt and the church itself for unique meetings, conferences or gala receptions.


The property is offered fully furnished and has one double bedroom, a reception room, separate contemporary eat-in kitchen and a modern wet room. The weekly rent is £450 per week, subject to contract.
