Property Description
Hidden away in a corner of Clerkenwell, close to Exmouth Market, is this sparkling eco-bungalow with its very own garden. It's a quietly modern marvel, situated in one of the liveliest neighbourhoods of central London.
Angel and Old Street stations are a short walk away, but so is just about everything else. Shoreditch, Farringdon, Islington – even Covent Garden and the City are within touching distance, leaving no shortage of sights, sounds, tastes and traditions to explore and enjoy.
Brickworks Says
Incredibly rare and crazily convenient, this two-bedroom home couldn't be more ideally located for…well, absolutely anything. Yet, unlike your average urban bolt-hole, this one has its own front door and a private courtyard garden to boot. That makes for an almost unheard-of combination of privacy and accessibility at the very fulcrum of London's most vibrant neighbourhoods.
Funnily enough, though, it's the tranquillity of this space that stands out. The light and airy feel combined with the considered progression of rooms, give you the sense of being entirely at ease. The main bedroom is more than big enough, while both the second bedroom and open living room/kitchen lead out to the courtyard garden, which is such a sun trap in summer, but also means the internal spaces are bathed in natural light.
Meanwhile, outside your door London's rich tapestry merges with daily life from a secret hideaway in the middle of it all: That's the draw of this remarkable home – what a spot to call your own...
The Owners Say
The house, the neighbourhood and the area are all incredible. It's a wonderful, quiet estate with a friendly feel. During school holidays, the tmo even organises day trips for the residents.
Clerkenwell has an amazingly rich cultural history and arguably some of the best bars and restaurants in London. It's the Italian cultural quarter and we are constantly stumbling on gorgeous little delis hidden down the side streets. Exmouth Market is right on the doorstep, and it has one of the best food markets around. Shoreditch and Angel, which offer great nightlife, are nearby, too.
We've hosted some amazing little brunch parties in the garden, and it's lovely sitting out and enjoying the late evening sun in the summertime.
Points To Consider
The EPC gives a current Energy Efficiency Rating: B & Environmental Impact Rating: B
In the borough of Islington, the house falls into Council Tax Band E (£1,429.45 for 2019).
There are 123 years left on the lease. There is a service charge of £33.36 per month, and the ground rent is peppercorn (£1 pa).
The mews-style homes on Tompion Street, of which this is one, were created from the footprint of old garages (hence the single storey design). Cleverly constructed to blend in with the local architecture and make the best use of space, a central part of the brief was to create environmentally sound homes, and there's a raft of eco-centric qualities such as:
Grass-lined 'living’ roof;
Natural light portals to save on lighting;
Rain water collection system;
Build in ventilation system to draw fresh air into each room;
Potential to install solar panels & produce more than enough energy to run the house for free!
While proudly part of the estate, these homes are autonomous and separate from the main blocks. The service charge, for example, is ring-fenced; you don't have to contribute to any collective works on these parts of the estate.
