About this property
The Little Library - One Bedroom Apartment, Sleeps 2
This thoughtfully styled one-bedroom apartment is located in a quiet, modern development in the heart of Clerkenwell. Set on the second floor with lift access and surrounded by landscaped communal gardens, it offers a peaceful city retreat with easy access to the West End and the City.
Inside, the home blends elegant vintage touches with a modern layout, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. A spacious hallway greets you on entry, complete with ample storage and a utility cupboard with washing machine. Wooden floors run throughout, adding to the sense of calm and cohesion.
The open-plan living and dining area is bright and generously proportioned, with direct access to a private balcony – an ideal spot for morning coffee or a book on a sunny afternoon. The room is lined with shelves of books, a reflection of the owner’s background as a university professor, and guests are warmly invited to browse during their stay. A dining table provides a perfect nook for casual meals or working from home, while the semi-separate kitchen comes fully equipped with everything you’ll need to cook and dine at your leisure.
The bedroom features a comfortable double bed and smart built-in storage, with a sliding glass door that can be opened to the living space or closed for privacy. The bathroom is finished in a stylish blend of natural wood and contemporary fixtures, and includes a bathtub with overhead shower, a WC, and large mirrored surround.
Whether you’re in London for business or leisure, this apartment offers comfort, tranquillity, and excellent connections – all just moments from the cultural and culinary delights of Islington and beyond.
The Location The apartment is located within a secure gated development in the New River Conservation Area, one of central London’s most desirable neighbourhoods. You’re less than a 10-minute walk from Angel station (Northern Line), with Farringdon (Circle, Hammersmith & City, Metropolitan, and National Rail) and King’s Cross St Pancras also within easy reach. The newly opened Elizabeth Line provides direct links across London, from Canary Wharf to Paddington.
Clerkenwell and Islington are home to some of the capital’s best independent shops, restaurants, and cultural venues. Upper Street is a short walk away and offers everything from boutiques and bakeries to theatres like The Almeida and King’s Head. Sadler’s Wells Theatre, a global hub for contemporary dance, is just around the corner. For larger-scale shopping and dining, Coal Drops Yard and Granary Square are nearby, offering riverside vibes, buzzy cafés, and seasonal events.
