“Beyond the great Smithfield Market stands revealed”

In one of Central London’s most iconic and historic settings, this exceptional bespoke penthouse apartment is located within the Smithfield conservation area, moments from St Paul’s Cathedral, Postman’s Park and the remarkable St Bartholomew-the-Great in Smithfield, founded in 1123 and widely regarded as the oldest surviving parish church in the City of London. It also sits opposite the tranquil Smithfield Rotunda Garden.

Impeccably finished with superb design detailing, this apartment is utterly unique, offering tailor-made interiors that make it one of the most distinctive residences to come to sales market in The City of London.

One enters through a striking, dramatic entrance hall dominated by a spiral staircase rising to the fourth floor; walls are clad in vertically arranged, hand-cut slate in chocolate and bronze tones, evoking the forms of stalagmites. This leads into a welcoming reception room with two sash windows overlooking West Smithfield Rotunda, complemented by uniform “Bolon” flooring, a Swedish-designed, climate-neutral surface made from recycled materials, offering both durability and a warm, calming aesthetic.

The flooring flows seamlessly into the kitchen dining room, enhancing the sense of cohesion and calm. The bespoke kitchen is complete with Heals cabinetry and Corian worktops. The space is striking in volume, defined by a pitched ceiling of near double height with exposed timber rafters, a “Saffretti” ethanol fireplace set within a stone-wrapped chimney breast and natural light introduced through a skylight and a dormer window.

Off the living room, the shower room has floor and shower areas covered in intricate peddles, a bespoke sink in a composite material resembling poured lava, ample storage concealed behind mirror fronted cupboards and underfloor heating.

The principal bedroom which is located on the top floor and has the same Bolon flooring as the living areas, has superb and ample built in wardrobes, free standing roll top William Holland bath, exposed timber rafters and Velux window opening onto a fire escape.

Beyond the kitchen dining room is the most enchanting room, a space of multiple uses with exposed brick work, hand painted friezes and decorative flower boxes. Currently used as a combination of a winter garden, breakfast corner, study area and sleeping platform, it has a ceiling mounted Charcoal fire/cooker. This room is flooded with light with an East -West aspect and mature window boxes with Yacca plants and herbs. From this room there is access to a flat roof, dressed as a wonderful terrace with views towards West Smithfield Rotunda (Not demised as a terrace/balcony).

West Smithfield is located between The City and Clerkenwell moments from Farringdon Underground and Mainline Station with access to the Circle, Metropolitan and Hammersmith and City lines, National rail and the 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 convenient access to Kings Cross St Pancras with its Eurostar terminus.

The London Museum’s relocation to the Southern end of the abandoned Smithfield Market is underway, receiving a £180m by the City and London Mayor, with the first phase now planned to open at the end of 2026 creating new gallery space as well as options for larger events and exhibitions.

In April this year further exciting news was announced that subject to planning approval, will see the redevelopment of ‘The Annexe buildings’ in West Smithfield. This new chapter for the building will see the introduction of a new food market, establishing Smithfield as a new London destination for food, culture and public life revitalising this remarkable corner of London.
