We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
Positioned on the fourth floor of this well-maintained modern building on Seward Street, this exceptionally spacious two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment offers over 829 sq ft of internal accommodation together with a private balcony and a secure parking space — a combination rarely found in this part of Clerkenwell.
The apartment immediately stands out for the scale of the main reception room.
Extending to over 20 ft in width, the living space provides an impressive setting for both everyday living and entertaining, with large windows drawing in excellent natural light and offering open views across the surrounding rooftops.
The room comfortably accommodates distinct areas for dining and relaxation, while a door leads directly onto the balcony.
Positioned at the rear of the building, the balcony enjoys a notably peaceful outlook — a welcome contrast to the energy of the surrounding neighbourhood.
Elevated above the street and overlooking neighbouring buildings and trees, it provides a calm outdoor space ideal for morning coffee or evening drinks.
The separate kitchen sits just off the reception room and provides generous storage and preparation space, with scope for a purchaser to update and personalise should they wish.
Both bedrooms are well-proportioned doubles an increasingly rare feature in central London apartments.
The principal bedroom is particularly spacious and benefits from fitted wardrobes, while the second bedroom comfortably accommodates a double bed together with additional furniture or workspace.
The apartment benefits from two bathrooms, adding to the practicality of the layout for both owner-occupiers and guests.
While the apartment would benefit from some light cosmetic updating, it represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a substantial home in a prime central location with the potential to enhance further.
A secure allocated parking space is included with the property — a valuable addition within EC1.
Location Seward Street sits quietly between Old Street, Clerkenwell and Islington, placing the apartment within easy reach of some of central London’s most vibrant neighbourhoods.
Clerkenwell’s renowned dining scene is close at hand, including celebrated restaurants such as St. John, Luca and the lively cafés and restaurants of Exmouth Market.
The Barbican Centre is also within walking distance, offering a world-class programme of music, theatre, film and exhibitions.
Transport connections are excellent with Farringdon, Barbican, Old Street and Angel stations all within easy reach, providing access to the Elizabeth Line, Circle, Metropolitan, Hammersmith & City and Northern lines.
