About this property
Abstract Perspective, by Veeve
Combining glossy, contemporary interiors with a delightful balcony, this bright apartment straddles the contrasting neighbourhoods of historic Farringdon (home to one of the city's best-connected stations) and industrial-chic Clerkenwell (where central and east London converge). It's an intoxicating mix of the medieval and modern – whether your vibe is exploring London’s long and winding history or hitting the town for cocktail hour.
Centred on an open-plan living room bathed in sunshine from the balcony and buoyantly styled with statement artwork, this graceful apartment is geared towards easy relaxation. Fresh tones and wood floors bring a natural, harmonious aesthetic to the contemporary lounge area. Lying adjacent to this space, the large dining table encourages a convivial atmosphere in which to congregate at mealtimes.
Soothing sanctuaries of soft white, the two tranquil bedrooms are accented by sparing pops of colour, whilst the bathrooms are a picture of modernist simplicity in their delicate hues of aquamarine blue and white. If homes come with a dress code, casual-comfort is certainly the theme at this charming abode.
We Love
The balcony with its charming views of the quiet, leafy street below and al fresco dining options. We're also very keen on the colour fragments of art dotted around; notably the splash of vibrant green and midnight blue patchwork in the bedrooms.
Home Truths:
No smoking, pets or parties. The apartment is not suitable for children. Construction work on the balcony is currently taking place at the building from Monday to Friday, starting on 12 August, for a duration of 10 weeks. The works will commence on site at 8 am and will finish at approximately 5.30 pm daily. There will be no noisy work before 8:30 am. The apartment is located on the first floor and can be accessed by a lift. Although we always endeavour for accuracy, there may be rare occasions where the listing photography and description do not provide an exact representation of the home’s amenities.

Why they chose this property
Clerkenwell’s distinctive look and feel are in part influenced by the enormous Victorian warehouses found in the area, now transformed into spacious office blocks and apartments. A multitude of architects and creative businesses call Clerkenwell home — it even has its own design week. Exmouth Market and a plethora of Michelin starred restaurants make this neighbourhood a must-visit for food-lovers too.
