A beautifully appointed lateral apartment enjoying stunning views over the historic grounds of the Honourable Artillery Company (HAC).
The HAC grounds were commissioned by Henry VIII in the 1500’s and are now home to the London Cricket Club. While the City of London is renowned for its impressive skyline and skyscrapers, there is something wonderfully refreshing about looking out across several acres of open green space.
Situated on the second floor of this well-maintained building, with lift access, the apartment comprises a welcoming entrance hall with utility cupboard, a generous reception room with an open-plan kitchen, and bifold doors opening onto a private decked terrace overlooking the HAC playing fields.
The principal bedroom benefits from a dedicated dressing area with built-in wardrobes, and a stylish en-suite shower room. There is also a second double bedroom and a separate guest bathroom while both bedrooms and the reception room benefit from air-conditioning.
The location is ideal for those working in the city, while also within easy reach of some of London’s most popular cultural and leisure attractions, including the Barbican Centre, Finsbury Circus Gardens, Guildhall Art Gallery and St Paul’s Cathedral.
For dining and entertaining, the area offers an excellent selection of restaurants and bars, including Hawksmoor Guildhall, Bread Street Kitchen, Cabotte, Duck & Waffle and Lucky Cat, to name just a few.
Transport connections are superb, with Moorgate Station providing access to the Circle, Hammersmith & City and Metropolitan lines, while Liverpool Street Station is also nearby, offering Elizabeth line connections and further Underground services. These excellent transport hubs allow easy access to the City, West Canary Wharf and London's International airports.
An exceptional City residence combining generous lateral accommodation, contemporary living and the rare benefit of uninterrupted views across the historic HAC grounds.
