Whitecross Street, London EC1Y

Property Reference: 3083542.

Unique 2-Bed Penthouse with Large Private Roof Terrace & City Skyline Views - Barbican / Clerkenwell

A rare opportunity to make this distinctive, fully furnished two-bedroom penthouse your home, combining an exceptional private roof terrace and sweeping views across London's City skyline and the added comfort of air conditioning - a particularly welcome feature in central London.

Situated on the top floor of a characterful converted building on Whitecross Street, the apartment offers approximately 112 sqm (1,207 sq ft) of combined indoor and private outdoor space, comprising 745 sq ft (69.22 sqm) of internal living accommodation and an expansive private roof terrace of approximately 43 sqm (462 sq ft) - a wonderful extension of the home for outdoor dining, entertaining, relaxing or simply enjoying the London skyline.

The apartment

The bright and welcoming open-plan reception and living area combines contemporary comfort with the character of the original building. The reception opens directly onto the private roof terrace, allowing the living space to extend naturally outdoors. This seamless connection creates a wonderful sense of openness and offers the everyday pleasure of stepping outside into your own private outdoor space, right in the heart of central London.

Thoughtfully furnished with an emphasis on design and quality, the apartment features a bespoke, custom-built library and bookshelves, a Ligne Roset sofa and armchair, a BoConcept sofa bed and carefully selected designer lighting. These distinctive details lend the space warmth, personality and a sense of home rarely found in conventional rental apartments.

Air conditioning provides additional comfort during London's warmer months, a valuable feature particularly in a top-floor apartment.

The apartment features:

• Two bedrooms, both with generous built-in wardrobes
• Principal bedroom with a king-size bed
• Versatile second bedroom, currently furnished with a high-quality convertible sofa bed, equally suited to guests or a home office
• Bathroom with both a full-size bathtub and a separate shower
• Fully equipped kitchen with oven, hob, microwave, dishwasher and other appliances
• Separate storage space, in addition to the built-in wardrobes in both bedrooms
• Comfortable, contemporary furnishings throughout
• Dedicated workspace and Wi-Fi connectivity
• An exceptionally spacious private roof terrace with open City views

The terrace - a genuine rarity in central London

Directly adjoining the reception room, the approximately 43 sqm private roof terrace feels like a natural continuation of the living area rather than a separate outdoor amenity. Its generous proportions allow for distinct areas for outdoor dining, lounging and entertaining, while the open skyline views bring a sense of space and tranquillity rarely found in such a central location.

Whether enjoying a morning coffee, working outdoors on a sunny afternoon or dining against the illuminated City skyline, the terrace offers an exceptional indoor-outdoor lifestyle in the middle of London.

Location - the best of several London neighbourhoods

Whitecross Street is one of central London's most characterful locations, ideally positioned between the Barbican, Clerkenwell, Old Street and the City.

The neighbourhood is known for its lively weekday street-food market, independent cafes, restaurants and excellent everyday amenities, including a nearby Waitrose.

The Barbican Centre, with its internationally renowned programme of music, theatre, cinema and exhibitions, is just a short walk away.

Barbican, Old Street and St Paul's stations provide excellent transport connections, while the City, Farringdon, Shoreditch, Smithfield and St Paul's Cathedral are all within easy walking distance.

The apartment is particularly well suited to those who appreciate being close to London's business and cultural centres while enjoying the comfort and individuality of a private home.
