Mallow Street Clerkenwell, EC1Y

This stunning two bedroom penthouse on the top floor of a Victorian warehouse in a prime City Fringe location has 1,526 ft of internal space and a truly vast roof terrace. The property is being sold with a share of freehold and planning permission to add an additional floor, nearly doubling the size of the apartment and including three roof terraces. The apartment is tucked away in a quiet street located in EC1, just one minute’s walk from Old Street and within easy walking distance of the thriving districts of the City, Clerkenwell and Shoreditch.

All rooms are arranged around a central hallway which has plentiful discreet bespoke concealed storage and stairs up to the huge roof terrace. The living room and study are at the front of the apartment, the two bedrooms and two bathrooms at the rear, and the utility room is in a convenient central position.

The spacious open-plan living space has elegant proportions that include high ceilings and a wall of southeast-facing windows which provide excellent natural light. The room is currently zoned into a kitchen area and a large dining area at one end, and a large area for sofas at the other. The kitchen has been carefully designed and beautifully crafted. With ivory coloured Corian worktops and cabinet doors and a coordinating poured resin floor it’s a sublimely serene space for prep, cooking, or just enjoying a drink at the breakfast bar. The dining area opposite has a stunning U-shaped walnut dining table and an upholstered teak banquette that (very comfortably) seats eight. The lounge area in this room features a wall of curved Baltic birch shelving and TV space, leaving plenty of floor space for a large sofa and chairs.

The main bedroom measures a generous 18’10” by 18’1” and has a walk-in wardrobe and a large ensuite bathroom with teak sinks and shelving and a stunning Japanese-style teak bath that’s easily big enough for two. This bathroom is a lovely retreat, flooded with natural light from windows on two sides. The shower room in the hallway shares a similar aesthetic, with mosaic tiled walls, warm heated floors, bespoke fitted storage, polished chrome fittings, large mirrors and a sense of space. The second bedroom is also a large double room with fire escape access via the adjacent walk-in wardrobe, and both rooms feature large sash windows and exposed brick walls.
The study is close to the kitchen, yet set apart from the main living area and with a split-level that lifts you above the  fray, it’s the perfect space to work from home. The utility room in the hall is a compact and efficient space, with a stacked washer and dryer, plumbing for a sink, a wall drying rack, bespoke cupboards and shelving.

The star of the show is the roof terrace. This astoundingly large space, over 50ft by 30ft, has great rooftop views and enjoys all-day sun. It is fenced and visually divided by a pergola, with zones of decking and artificial lawn, and a large selection of architectural planters. The planned top floor addition will retain terraces at the front and rear of this floor, and add a terrace on top of the new building.
