Property Summary
Full Details
This outstanding four-storey converted warehouse is positioned on one of the most sought-after residential roads in Shoreditch. Previously a furniture factory built by John Barr & Sons in 1865, the property has been restored by the architect Andrew Fielder.
Meticulous care and attention has gone in to retaining the original features, including wonderful brick walls with layer upon layer of paint, timber floors, loading doors and fireplaces, all of which is combined with contemporary fittings. Every floor has dual-aspect windows, giving exceptional light and beautiful interiors throughout.
The property also benefits from the added value of planning permission (Ref 2015/3464 Hackney Council) to excavate a basement with lightwell to rear & enlargement of the existing roof extension.
On the ground floor there is a spacious studio/workshop space with resin floor, utility area and WC. This would be ideal for someone looking for a space in which to work.
Accessed from here is a charming private courtyard. The studio space could also be used for off-street parking, as there is direct access at street level.
The first floor is entirely dedicated to a large bedroom space with en-suite bathroom and high-quality bespoke wardrobes. An amazing open-plan kitchen/reception occupies the second floor, and there are two further double bedrooms and a bathroom over the third floor.
In addition to the outside space of the courtyard, there is a fabulous decked roof terrace with views south towards many of the City's most iconic buildings. Measuring close to 500 sq ft, it is an ideal area for entertaining in the summer months.
It is extremely rare to find a freehold building of such quality and originality in this location. Charlotte Road is possibly the most sought-after address in EC2, home to designers and independent shops such as Start, Edwin and Denham. There are excellent restaurants including Glorias, Blacklock & Albion within close proximity.
Liverpool Street, Old Street and Moorgate are all a short walk away, making this the ideal base for any occupant requiring swift access to the City whilst being able to enjoy the more creative and independent attractions of East London’s most exciting area.
