1 bed flat for sale

Banner Street, London EC1Y

A simply stunning and light-filled one bedroom authentic warehouse apartment, situated in a fashionable area of central London, being sold with no onward chain and with a share of the freehold.

Banner Buildings is a former factory which was completed in 1911 for the Chater-Lea Bicycle Company who manufactured bicycles, cars and motorcycles within this purpose-built building. It was converted to apartments in the 1990s with most apartments retaining a lot of its original features such as exposed brickwork and exceptionally high ceilings.

The property comprises a large kitchen/reception area, ample sized bedroom and large bathroom. There is plenty of storage, with floor-to-ceiling cabinets in the hallway. The décor is tasteful and in keeping with the building's history, with reclaimed wood floors and cast iron radiators. The Crittall windows have been replaced recently and are double-glazed, framing city views from the reception room and bedroom.

Whitecross Street is home to an excellent street food market and there is the added convenience of a Waitrose Supermarket a few minutes’ walk away. The nearby Barbican is home to a world-class cultural programme of cinema, music, theatre and exhibitions.
