Flat for sale in Wharton Street, London WC1X

A quiet, south-facing, 2-bedroom apartment, with high ceilings (2.8m) and greenery on all sides. There is plenty of flexible space for entertaining, storage, overnight visitors and multiple home working configurations. Original features include a fireplace, floors, doors, sliding partition and woodwork (architraves, etc). A recent renovation (2018-19) has added double glazed, period-style, timber sash windows, rewiring, a new kitchen and localised underfloor heating and insulation to minimise already low energy bills.
Its double frontage, dual-aspect and raised ground floor position provides excellent daylight. The north windows look directly onto the shared garden, whilst the south overlooks Wharton Street - a quiet, low traffic zone with its much-photographed cherry blossom-lined pavements. The north-south aspect, cross-ventilation and masonry construction keep the flat cool in summer, helped by windows that can be locked open for night time ventilation, and bottom-up blinds and trees that offer privacy as well as shade.
The architect-designed layout maximises the space and light to provide multiple home office and guest room configurations, as well as an extensive living, dining kitchen space for hosting dinners and family gatherings. Alternatively, an original, solid wood, double-leafed, sliding partition may be slid closed to create a separate guest bedroom, play room, or work space. Clever kitchen design, birch ply units, induction hob and open shelving help to maximise the sense of openness and decluttered preparation surface.

The sale is chain-free.
