Description:

Located within the charming Hoffman Square on Chart Street N1, endowed in 1689 by Robert Aske, a silk merchant, to serve as a hospital following his death. Designed by a contemporary of Wren, the main building was completed in 1696. Through the ensuing centuries there have been various additions and changes of use before this Grade II listed building was converted to 40 unique apartments in 2000/01. This particular space is a duplex benefiting from being on the upper floor of an outer, more private building sharing an external stairway entrance with one other apartment.

This large 1,500 sqft (approx) two double-bedroom apartment also offers superb lateral living with a great sense of space due to the double-height vaulted ceilings and rare double aspect with large semi-circular windows in the main living space providing natural light in abundance. The superb mezzanine gallery level, currently used as a lounge area/TV room/office, has been well designed to enhance functionality and offers a great view of the open space below. There is also a good sized double bedroom with concealed storage and shower room at this level. Beneath the mezzanine is the fully fitted open plan kitchen, further three piece bathroom with feature window and a second good sized double bedroom with storage.

Chart Street is situated within the vibrant Hoxton area, only moments from Hoxton Square and the Shoreditch Triangle with its notable bars, restaurants and boutiques in abundance. Nevertheless, the apartment is strikingly quiet and peaceful.

Transport connections are close by including Old Street (Northern Line), Moorgate Underground (Circle, Northern, Hammersmith & City, Met Lines and Thameslink), Liverpool Street (Central, Hammersmith & City, Circle and Met lines) and Hoxton (London Overground).

Hoffman Square, unlike many buildings in the area, has secure off-street parking, to which a space is allocated and included in the sale.

125 year Leasehold from 2001.
