Central London coach house and former artist's studio for sale
A characterful Bloomsbury property, formerly an old stable and coach house used as artist studios and workshops over the last century, has been granted planning permission to be transformed into a three-bedroom home.
Accessible via a passage off Red Lion Street, this property for sale sits on a pretty cobbled courtyard at the end of a mews once known as Wheatsheaf Yard.
The former coach house has been owned and used as a workspace by a sculptor, photographer and silversmith in the past century. Encompassing 1,897 square foot in total, the property is spread across three floors with a raised mezzanine level.
Typical to its artist studio history, the space is characterised by many paned windows which flood the space with natural light. Further charming details include exposed brick walling, high wooden vaulted ceilings and expansive roof windows. Coach doors give direct access to the stone courtyard.
Currently, the ground floor continues to be arranged as an art studio featuring an exposed brick fireplace and an interconnecting WC. Upstairs we find a New York loft-style open-plan living/kitchen space that benefits from striking high vaulted ceilings and vast amounts of natural light. The first bedroom can be accessed via stairs leading up from the living space to a mezzanine level, and on the second floor we find the main bedroom with an adjoining shower room.
Planning permission is secured for redevelopment, and esteemed architectural practice David Kohn have formed plans for its potential transformation into a three-bedroom home with a private roof terrace, which can be viewed here.
