A remarkable residence created from the seamless combination of three apartments, offering an expansive and truly unique space rarely available on the market.
Occupying a truly exceptional position within one of Clerkenwell's most iconic historic buildings, formerly the headquarters of the New River Company, this remarkable four-bedroom apartment extends to over 5,300 sq ft of meticulously designed living space. Combining impressive proportions with rich period character, the property offers a rare opportunity to acquire a home of significant scale in the heart of central London.
The principal living accommodation is arranged across the first floor, centred around an outstanding reception and entertaining space that spans the full width of the building. Originally serving as the boardroom for the Metropolitan Water Board, the room retains a wealth of original features, including decorative stucco detailing, an impressive chandelier and elegant columns, all complemented by warm timber flooring. Double-height volumes create a tremendous sense of space, while mezzanine library areas overlook either end of the room, providing additional seating, study or reading areas. The adjoining kitchen features sleek high-gloss cabinetry, integrated appliances and a substantial central island, creating an impressive space for both everyday living and entertaining.
The upper floor provides generous bedroom accommodation, led by an impressive principal suite featuring a walk-in dressing room and a luxurious marble-clad bathroom. Three further generously proportioned double bedrooms are served by additional bathrooms and enjoy excellent separation from the main living accommodation.
Residents have access to the beautifully preserved Oak Room, an elegant private function space available to hire for gatherings and events, complete with catering facilities and original period detailing. Further amenities include daytime porter service, a residents' gym and landscaped communal gardens.
Prospective tenants are advised that the accommodation is currently subject to three separate council tax assessments and three sets of utility accounts. The property comes with 2 secure off street parking spaces.
A truly impressive space within one of Clerkenwell's most iconic buildings.
