2 bed flat for sale Clerkenwell Road, London, EC1M

An exceptional, duplex warehouse penthouse apartment in the heart of Clerkenwell, featuring a spectacular private terrace and beautifully restored period charm. The building was designed by renowned architect Walter Seckham Witherington for the distinguished printers Gilbert & Rivington, celebrated for their acclaimed series of classical authors and exceptional reputation in oriental printing. The building itself was constructed by Patman & Fotheringham in the late 1880's, one of Mayfair’s most prominent Victorian building firms. Their notable projects included No. 5 Grosvenor Square which served as the residence and offices of American Ambassador Walter Hines Page, as well as much of the elegant late-19th-century terraced housing along Mount Street and Carlos Place. The firm is perhaps best known for constructing the iconic Savoy Theatre on the Strand.
