The common perception is that owning a loft apartment in Clerkenwell comes with an unattainable price tag, but for loft lovers seeking an entry into one of London’s most desirable neighbourhoods, this exceptional “baby loft” offers a rare opportunity on one of Clerkenwell’s finest streets.<br/><br/>This striking double-height apartment is positioned within the historic Mountford House, one of Clerkenwell’s most architecturally distinctive buildings. Originally commissioned by the Booth Distillery Company and designed in 1899 by celebrated architect Edward E. Mountford, the building showcases an impressive Italian Renaissance façade enriched with elaborate Baroque detailing. Reconstructed on Britton Street during the 1970s redevelopment, the exterior is further distinguished by five remarkable Portland stone panels depicting the art of gin production.<br/><br/>Beautifully redesigned to maximise space the apartment delivers stylish loft living across two levels. The lower floor features a generous open-plan kitchen and dramatic double-height reception room, while the upper mezzanine level offers a spacious double bedroom alongside a sleek contemporary shower room.<br/><br/>Ideally situated on Britton Street, moments from St John's Gardens and Farringdon Station, the property benefits from outstanding transport links via the Elizabeth, Circle, Metropolitan, and Hammersmith & City lines, as well as National Rail services.<br/><br/>Please note: the photographs shown were taken when the apartment was previously furnished.<br/><br/>
