A rare opportunity to purchase over 2300 sq/ft of lateral living space in The Banner Building, a former motorcycle and bicycle factory and now one of East London’s most iconic industrial conversions.
Entering this split-level apartment, you are immediately wowed by the vast 50 ft living room and kitchen area. There is a huge amount of bespoke storage, generous ceiling heights, wooden floors and exposed brickwork that you would expect to find in this type of period building.
The stylish kitchen is set at the back of the apartment and benefits from a separate utility room with WC. An added bonus is the conservatory office room that leads onto a private courtyard area. The upper floor is connected via an industrial style spiral staircase in an open atrium section that extends approx 30 feet high. The upper level disposes of three large double bedrooms, two of which benefit from en-suite bathrooms.
The apartment is ideally situated between Old Street and Clerkenwell on a quiet one-way street. Nearby Whitecross Street is home to an excellent street food market and there is the added convenience of a Waitrose supermarket a few minutes’ walk away at the Barbican. The Barbican is also home to a world-class cultural programme of cinema, music, theatre and exhibitions.
Clerkenwell is renowned for the quality and variety of its bars and restaurants, including St. John, Luca and Brotto. Exmouth Market is a short walk away, and St Paul’s, Smithfield’s and the City are within easy reach to the south.
The public transport links are outstanding, with serval underground tube stations nearby, most notably Farringdon Station which is now one of London’s most important transport hubs with the recent opening of the Elizabeth Line.
