A very rare example of a detached freehold mews house in the heart of Bloomsbury. This Victorian property was rebuilt in c.2003 to create an engaging modern living space set over three floors.

Accommodation comprises two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a large kitchen, and a wonderful reception room on the top floor which leads to a private roof terrace. The property also contains a double garage, which is currently being utilised as a workshop, with a black resin floor, industrial sink and enhanced electrical outlets.

The reception room is flooded with light from large double-glazed sash windows (recently re-sashed and re-sealed) and an expansive rooflight. One wall is clad in more than 20ft of Italian travertine. The bedrooms feature extensive use of (mostly) solid American walnut with custom-made, built-in beds. The master bedroom also has a bespke dressing table. The bathrooms feature Hansgrohe fittings.

The house is situated adjacent to the well-known craft workshops of Cockpit Arts (itself housed in a 1930s light-industrial building). Although the two buildings are seeemingly joined, the house is in fact detached (the join at the front is a façade and there is a metre or so between the two).

The property is located just 100m from Lambs Conduit Street, with its boutique-style shopping and numerous cafés and quality restaurants. The British Museum is approximately seven minutes’ walk away and Tottenham Court Road just three minutes further on. More shopping facilities can be found at the nearby Brunswick Centre, including a Waitrose supermarket. Transport facilities are located at either Russell Square, Holborn or Chancery Lane.
