## Description

FREEHOLD HOUSE with secure underground parking in Clerkenwell. This bright 713 sqft, two bedroom, two bathroom house is set within a quiet courtyard development with a daytime porter.

The house is arranged over three floors overlooking the courtyard; reception room and kitchen at ground floor; bedroom with en-suite on the first floor and bedroom and bathroom on the second floor.  This would make an ideal rental investment (rental value approximately £500 - £525 per week) or first time purchase.

St John Street is in the heart of Clerkenwell and boasts many excellent amenities including a Waitrose supermarket and numerous bars, restaurants and gastro pubs.

Transport links are plentiful with Farringdon (Circle, Metropolitan and Hammersmith & City lines) being the closest station (0.4 miles) which will benefit from Crossrail in 2018.

This development is in the extensive grounds of a former gin factory.  The gin distillery business was started in the 19th Century, and the Nicholson family owned and ran the business until the 1950's.  In 1997-9 Bellway Homes took the site of the former gin distillery and redeveloped it as St Paul's Square.  The St John Street frontage was kept along with an original boundary wall at the rear.  The remaining industrial buildings on the site cleared and replaced with new buildings.
