Freehold
Arguably one of London's most unique and historic Grade II listed properties.
Completed in 1614, this house is a rare survival of the Great Fire of London in 1666. Painstakingly restored over three years by local architect and current resident and then awarded a City Heritage prize in 2000 for the finest refurbishment of an important historic building, it is a home of true character and style. Featured in many books and guides of London it was originally one house of 11 properties; now only number 41 exists.
Arranged over 6,110 sq ft., the house offers quite unique entertaining space. With a beautifully finished 'professional' kitchen, an absolutely stunning conservatory and formal dining room and two large drawing rooms - one of which is fully panelled in rich pine. In addition there are four large bedroom suites, a charming roof terrace which captures the essence of living within the Square Mile, and an integrated garage - a rarity in the heart of the City.
From the moment you enter the house you are embraced by the sheer warmth of the property; a breath-taking turning staircase, a lower ground floor which holds a scullery, cellar, large studio and library area. The ground floor is a maze of beauty with historic character features to every room. Throughout the house there is a fireplace to every major room, meaning the house adopts a different feeling depending on the season. The upper levels of the house offer an insight into the area's colourful history - with etchings on the leaded windows from key figures such as the Queen Mother, Field Marshall Montgomery, John Betjeman, Audrey Russell, Osbert Lancaster and many more.
Few properties compare, positioned in one of the most historic parts of the City of London, opposite St. Bartholomew the Great church and by Smithfield Market. The area has a wealth of amenities and excellent restaurants such as Club Gascon, St. John, Hix Oyster Bar and Grill, Torrode and many others. There are a number of schools in the area; Charterhouse Square School, City of London School for Girls, City of London Boys School, St. Pauls and Sir John Cass School. This residence also benefits from many transport links; the underground stations of Barbican, St. Pauls and Farringdon are all within a ¼ mile and the Thameslink to Gatwick and Luton is available from Farringdon station. 41 Cloth Fair: a once in a life-time opportunity to acquire a beautiful piece of history in the heart of an exciting cosmopolitan area in central London - a home that really has to be seen.
