For £4.25 million you could be the owner of what could possibly be one of the world’s best penthouses.
The duplex property in Clerkenwell, London,has been created by ‘Form Design Architecture’, and occupies the entire 6th and 7th floors of a much sought after apartment block in the EC1 area of London.
The apartment is located next door to the former site of the celebrated Turnmills nightclub, which following last week’s announcement, will now be occupied by Saatchi & Saatchi who are relocating their head office to Clerkenwell.
The apartment was purchased in a ‘shell and core’ condition by the previous owners, who took almost two years to design and build the high specification fittings. Upon completion in 2005 the apartment featured in numerous publications quoted by one "as one of the world’s best penthouses".
The current owners have since added their own imagination and flair, improving the design and specification further still. The penthouse offers the most wonderful combination of fluid and double height open spaces as well as attention to details throughout.
There are three double bedrooms all with built in wardrobes as well as their own bathrooms, a grand double height central hall which links the formal dining area with the kitchen. The top floor circular reception room has a spectacular 360 degree elliptical view with uninterrupted views of the most important and well known London and city Landmarks.
The main terrace, a perfect summer entertaining area, measures in excess of 1,300 sq ft (125 sqm) and is accessed via concertina folding doors from the reception room. The London property also comes with a secure underground parking space and is moments from Farringdon Underground and Mainline Stations which offer easy access to The City and West End
