Forming part of the Maiden Lane Estate in King’s Cross, this well-proportioned one-bedroom apartment with two large private balconies is positioned on the first floor of St Pauls Crescent.

The estate was built in two phases between 1979 and 1982 with St Pauls Crescent completed during the first, to a design by renowned architects Gordon Benson and Alan Forsyth. The estate is made up of groups of flats, terraced house and maisonettes that exemplify the architects’ intentions. Sculptural Le Corbusier-influenced white-painted volumes are set against a terracotta landscape punctuated by planters and raised pathways, which negotiates the natural fall in landscape from east to west.

This block is positioned east-west, so that the rooms are flooded with light throughout the day. The front door leads to a neat entrance hall at the core of the flat. The apartment was recently redecorated throughout, with a new kitchen, bathroom and appliances. At one end is the living space, with huge sliding glass doors to the balcony. At the other end of the apartment is the bedroom, also with a huge balcony.

The original development has recently undergone major refurbishment works alongside an impressive initiative by Camden Council to grow the existing Maiden Lane Estate, the design of which belongs to award-winning architects Hawkins\Brown.

The apartment is excellently located at the heart of Camden’s £400 million regeneration of the area around King’s Cross station. Nearby Granary Square is at the centre of this exciting redevelopment and is home to the Central Saint Martin’s campus and Google’s London office, amongst many other exciting design and tech companies. There is an outstanding selection of restaurants, a Waitrose supermarket and a new Everyman cinema.

King’s Cross St Pancras Underground station is served by the Northern, Victoria, Circle, Metropolitan, Piccadilly and Hammersmith and City Lines, whilst St Pancras International has the Eurostar for connections to Paris and Brussels.
