Spectacular penthouse above Clerkenwell’s historic Vine Hill.
Description
Spanning the top two floors of a historic period building, this duplex penthouse apartment is filled with natural light and offers well-balanced living spaces and two private terraces. The upper floor is home to an impressive reception room with a pitched ceiling, exposed brickwork, and a sleek, recessed kitchen.
Downstairs, the layout includes a generous principal bedroom with an en suite, two further bedrooms, and a guest bathroom. Every room benefits from generous proportions and well considered detailing.
Once home to a 19th-century charitable foundation, the building carries a rich past—part of the social fabric that once inspired Charles Dickens, who visited the site in the 1840s and later used the surrounding streets as a backdrop in Oliver Twist.
Location
Vine Hill is a discreet street just off Clerkenwell Road, running parallel to Back Hill and moments from Farringdon Station, which offers access to the Elizabeth Line, as well as the Metropolitan, Circle, and Hammersmith & City lines.
Nearby, Exmouth Market (0.3 miles) offers a vibrant mix of independent shops, cafés, and some of London’s most highly regarded restaurants and bars. It’s a neighbourhood that combines excellent connectivity with a strong local atmosphere, yet quietly self-contained.
The property is exceptionally well connected, with various major overground and underground stations within a one-mile radius: Farringdon (490 yards), Chancery Lane (510 yards), Holborn (0.5 miles), St Pancras International (0.39 miles), City Thameslink (0.7 miles), London King’s Cross (0.8 miles), London Blackfriars (0.8 miles).
