Situated on the fourth floor behind this Victorian Gothic Revival warehouse facade from 1875, this c525 sqft/ c50sqm cosy quiet east facing one bedroom flat places you comfortably in the heart of London but allows you to escape elsewhere at the drop of a hat . Ideally situated 30 seconds from London's primary transport hub, Farringdon Station, Heathrow, Gatwick and Luton are less than an hour away on direct rail links, with Kings Cross/ St Pancras/ Eurostar a 12 minute taxi /5 minute tube ride away.

The sitting room has large east facing double glazed windows, keeping exterior noise to a minimum. Secondary glazing ensures absolute peace from any exterior noise. A three seat sofa and armchair are complemented by a two seat sofa bed. A compact desk/dining table can still seat up to four people.

The bedroom’s silencing secondary glazing combined with the brocade blackout curtains, and Venetian blinds ensure a peaceful night’s sleep, in near total darkness for those who require it. The bed is a standard double (140 x 200cm). A large integrated double door wardrobe with high shelf storage provides generous hanging space and storage, with additional space in two chests of drawers.

The kitchen is equipped with a Bosch oven, hob, fridge/ freezer and washing machine, Neff cooker hood, and a brand new slimline dishwasher. The bathroom has a Roca white enamel/ steel bath and Roca sink and toilet. There is a separate step-up walk-in shower.

Heating and hot water come from a communal boiler with hot water stored in a cylinder in a cupboard in the entrance hall. The heating and hot water are charged through the service charge and there is an additional monthly charge for these instead of having to pay for your gas/ heating with a supplier. Since the heating and hot water are charged as a percentage of the floor area of the flats, these are effectively unlimited and if you like desert hot conditions you can recreate them here.

A Sainsbury’s Local and Tesco Express (both open 0700 to 2300 every day) are each 30 seconds away, in opposite directions from the building entrance. Waitrose and Marks & Spencer have larger branches short walks away (10-15 mins). During the week, you can go to central London’s only meat market, Smithfield (5 mins) from (Number Removed) either just to look, or to buy the same fresh meat that is served at some of London’s finest restaurants, for a fraction of the cost.

London is literally on your doorstep with this flat but it provides a comfortable cosy quiet retreat at the end of the working day. You can walk to the City and the West End encompassing a huge number of the main sights and attractions of (the real) London. The rest of London can be easily accessed using three tube lines and the remarkable air-conditioned rapid transit Elizabeth Line at Farringdon that takes you to Canary Wharf (9 mins) in the east and beyond and to the West End in 5 mins or Bond Street in 10 mins to the west, and Heathrow beyond.
