About
Available late November 2026, a charming apartment in the former site of the J. & W. Nicholson Gin Distillery which was founded by John Nicholson.
The original façade of the building dates to the early 18th century and remains one of the most recognised buildings on St John Street.
Converted into apartments in the late 1990’s the apartment benefits from a secure parking space, access to communal gardens and a day porter.
The apartment retains its original arched Victorian windows and comprises a generous hallway with storage, reception room, separate kitchen, double bedroom and bathroom.
Located on St John Street close to the junction of Clerkenwell Road the apartment is a short walk to Farringdon Station offering both Underground (Circle, Hammersmith & City and Metropolitan lines) and Mainline services and will benefit from the opening of Crossrail in 2022 making it one of the most accessible locations in the Capital.
