A little bit of Clerkenwell history for sale.

Dating to the late 1700's this charming Grade II listed freehold building was originally occupied by a local carpenter by the name of John Thompson. The building is being sold as a unique opportunity combining a live and workspace over four floors with a first-floor terrace.

The accommodation comprises a ground and lower ground floor commercial space, whilst on the upper floors and rear addition the apartment comprises of two bedrooms, two bathrooms a reception room and kitchen breakfast room.

Clerkenwell first became a fashionable place to live in the 17th century as a destination where Londoners enjoyed tea gardens, theatres and spas: in fact, you can still see part of Clerks' Well after which Clerkenwell was originally named.

The area later became famous as a centre for clock and watchmaking alongside the jewellers and goldsmiths of Hatton Garden. It remains one of the best-preserved village centres in central London - a vibrant modern community with a fascinatingly rich history.

Clerkenwell has been described as the London equivalent of New York's East Village, but with more notable and diverse architecture and a rich history.

With great shopping and tremendous diversity of acclaimed restaurants, bars, galleries and wine bars it remains one of London's best kept secrets.

Farringdon underground and main line station is a short stroll away from Baker's Row with access to the Circle, Metropolitan and Hammersmith and City lines, National rail and the recently opened Elizabeth Line. In fact, it is one of the only stations in London that offers north-south as well as east - west connections, making the city, Canary Wharf and London's west end easily accessible, not to mention easy access to Kings Cross St Pancras with its Eurostar terminus.

An exceptional opportunity.
