Hoffman Square, London, N1

The setting of this beautiful apartment is hard to beat; on the second floor of Hoffman Square, a Grade Two listed Regency style building which dates back to the late 1600s. This much sought-after gated development is just off leafy Pitfield Street - an oasis of calm away from the bustle of the City. Inside the apartment itself, the entrance opens onto a light, bright hallway which is large enough to accommodate a work-from-home setup. There is also a walk-in wardrobe space, fitted with built-in hanging rails and shelving. Further down the hallway opens onto a beautiful, large open plan kitchen-dining-living area with vaulted ceilings and velux windows, which create plenty of light whilst also maintaining privacy thanks to the raised elevation of the windows. The modern kitchen boasts tremendous storage and integrated appliances. The kitchen island is a sociable feature, allowing informal dining with bar stools, or the option of more formal entertaining space at the dining table. Off the kitchen is a useful utility area which discreetly houses a washing machine and wine storage. The master bedroom is a great size and could be configured in a number of ways to suit the new owner. The bathroom is equally generous in proportion and is fitted to a high specification. Included in the purchase of this apartment is a superb garage space, which is a truly unique asset in this area of London. The ground level can accommodate a car, whilst the mezzanine level offers overflow storage. Outside, Hoffman Square residents can enjoy the use of a nearby tennis court and park that is on your doorstep. Hoffman Square has an illustrious history, originally the site of a hospital, it has been used more recently as a furniture factory. The building's noble facade underwent a sensitive restoration when it was converted into apartments in 2001, and won a joint award for the 'Best Restoration and Conversion' at the Britannia National Home Builder Design Awards. Situated in Shoreditch, it is on the doorstep of excellent transport links, particularly at Old Street with the Northern Line tube. Hoxton Overground and Liverpool Street Station are both a short walk away. This area boasts an abundance of coffee shops, bars and restaurants, with The Hoxton Hotel, Shoreditch House and the bustling Sunday Columbia Road Flower Market all close by.
