Historic former ostrich feather warehouse in Clerkenwell comes to market

A wedge-shaped Clerkenwell landmark that currently houses the Charterhouse Bar has come to market with leisure property agents Fleurets.

Sitting opposite Smithfield Market, the historic building has sat on the site since the 1870s where it was originally developed as a warehouse for ostrich feathers by merchants Myer and Nathan Salaman.

The Corporation of London acquired the site as part of the original Smithfield Market development and still holds the freehold on the property, which hosted a Herbert & Sons scales and weighting showroom and offices between 1937 and 1959.

Now the end of terrace Victorian property is available on a new lease with nil premium, with potential tenants poised to capitalise on the new Farringdon Elizabeth Line Crossrail station which is due to open in 2018.

The property is being marketed by Harry Cody-Owen at Fleurets, and he commented: “The property is located in a vibrant area of the City and is currently advertised as rental offers invited.”
