- Situated on The City Fringes Nearby Old Street For Easy Access to Shoreditch / Clerkenwell / The Barbican and The City
A unique, award winning architecturally designed loft apartment expanding across 1,391 Sq. Ft of lateral space. Conveniently situated adjacent to Old Street, this recently refurbished apartment provides a commutable walk into The City, West End, Shoreditch & Clerkenwell with a vast array of bars, restaurants and the arts all close by.
Designed by Julie Richards Architecture and Design Ltd, this space was a finalist in Channel 4's 'Britain's Best Home', featured in major editorial publications including The Times, The Independent and Living and has also won multiple design awards.
The contemporary interior encompasses ergonomic use of open plan living, focusing on the guiding principles of space, light and displays a creative use of materials complimenting the properties former warehouse past.
Martha’s Buildings distinct warehouse façade features curved ribbon glazing, with a modern communal entrance housing residence post boxes, whilst providing security with a lift and stairs serving each floor.
The interior offers a versatile social space, with zoned lighting set both within the epoxy resin floors and from the exposed concrete ceilings above creating a subtle yet warm atmosphere. A sunken living space features modular bespoke furniture with wiring for a projector, and hardwood flooring and concrete steps providing a clean break between the expansive open-plan kitchen and dining areas. The living space seamlessly opens on to a South facing private balcony terrace at the rear, overlooking an adjacent garden wall framing the Easterly outlook with mature foliage.
A hand cast curved feature glass wall provides a backdrop to a vast dining space, with the neighbouring industrial style kitchen built from a palette of steel and glass, with uplighters illuminating the glass island. Appliances include a built-in fridge, a separate built-in freezer, two ovens, a dishwasher and an original Renzo Piano Smeg hob; the extractor is also by Smeg. Adjacent to the main entrance is a guest WC set behind a pocket door, with a further pocket door concealing a utility room. An ideal work from home space is subtly nestled behind the kitchen.
Two generous double bedrooms (both en-suite) draw in an abundance of natural light with triple and secondary glazed windows extending the width of each room creating a silent setting. A cleverly designed door system allows for multiple, flexible layouts between the bedrooms, principal bathroom and a large walk-in wardrobe. The principal bathroom serving the main bedroom borrows light via the feature glazed wall, with polished plaster walls, a Carrara marble shower and a large freestanding bath (all sanitaryware is Starck 1). The second bedroom features a raised platform bed, with a discreet en-suite w.c behind and large walk-in shower with Carrara marble wall tiles.
Situation
A creative hub, popular with designers, the immediate area has a vast array of bars, pubs and restaurants. Exmouth and Whitecross Markets are nearby, with Clerkenwell, Islington, Shoreditch all within walking distance. The Barbican Centre, with its world-class cultural programme of cinema, music, theatre, talks and exhibitions, is a few minutes’ walk, with The City beyond and The West End also nearby.
This location is 2 minutes walk to Old Street underground station (Northern Line) and Barbican (Metropolitan / Circle & Central Lines). Liverpool Street and Moorgate stations are linked to the Elizabeth line for fast connections to Docklands, The West End and Heathrow.
