Golden Lane, London, EC1Y

A rare apartment in the Golden Lane estate with its own private garden. Grade II listed since 1997 due to its brutalist architectural interest and merit, The Golden Lane Estate was designed in the late 1950's by the celebrated architects, Chamberlain, Powell and Bon with influences by Le Corbusier and remains to date one of the most iconic brutalist developments in Central London. The Golden Lane Estate has been subject to ongoing sympathetic restoration, offering superb facilities such as the leisure centre now renamed Golden Lane Sport and fitness, with swimming pool, tennis courts and gymnasium. The apartment is accessed from Baltic Street West via its own front door and leads into an entrance hall with good storage space whilst the apartment incorporates distinct designs by a well known and acclaimed Clerkenwell architect practice. The accommodation comprises a generous main reception room with dining space, cleverly designed with a kitchen and recessed sleeping area, retaining its original wood and tile flooring. The bathroom is styled on a traditional Japanese design called ofuro with a deep wooden bathtub as its centrepiece, a wonderful creation. To the rear the apartment has a wonderful, private garden which has been paved with flowering borders. Hatfield House is located on Baltic Street West close to the junction of Goswell Road within a short walk to Barbican Station (Circle, Hammersmith & City and Metropolitan lines) as well as the new Farringdon Station entrance to the Elizabeth line. The Barbican Centre which is part of the Global Cultural Districts Network and the financial district in The City are close by with excellent shopping including Waitrose and Whitecross Street market. The flat would make an excellent pied a terre or City home.
