Located
in Central London, adjacent to King's Cross Station, this an architecturally
designed "Manhattan-Style" warehouse loft conversion that
offers panoramic views of an industrial landscape.
This fourth floor flat is 2800 sq
ft (311 sq m) and has been divided into both open-plan areas and
rooms. It has a number of interesting features which include: brick
and glass block walls, industrial concrete ceilings (height, 10-12
feet) and beams, hardwood and stone floors, and a 60 foot terrace
that has access to the rooms facing east.
There are three open-plan reception
areas ("living," "formal dinning" and "family"),
two offices (both with extensive glass block walls), a den/study
(with gas fire), a bedroom, a designer kitchen, and two ultra-modern
bathrooms (one cement & glass, the other limestone).
The triple aspect views from the
double-glazed, floor-to-ceiling windows include: passenger trains
arriving and departing from King's Cross Station, the spires of
St. Pancras Station, the last of the listed Victorian
gas holders and the BT Tower. The flat is very bright and benefits
from spectacular sunrises and sunsets. There is also considerable "designer" furniture
in place. The "common space" in the building as been
finished in a sleek industrial look.
The area offers excellent transportation
links (underground, buses, Thameslink and main line trains), and
a nearby parking lot that has in the past accommodated many production
vehicles. Also, there is sufficient on-street parking immediately
adjacent to the building to provide space for catering, generator
and any other necessary lorries (with the proper parking permits
from Islington Council).
There is an elevator and ramp access
into the building through the garage to facilitate bringing in equipment,
as well as some temporary internal storage in the owner's car parking
space. The flat can also provide use of computer, fax and xerox
facilities for production staff.
