The particulars

The top of the 1889 engine hall, with the roof structure left where it was

The Works was the engine hall of the Sablon goods yard, built in 1889 and converted in 2011 by the practice that had already done the Depot. The penthouse takes the top of it, including the riveted truss, which is the reason the living level is four and a half metres high and why nothing has been boxed in.

The plan is one long room with the kitchen at the eastern end behind a steel-framed screen, a sitting area in the middle and the dining end under the tallest bay. A short flight of steps separates the sleeping floor, so the two halves of the apartment are acoustically apart without a door between them.

The terrace runs the length of the north-west elevation and is decked in hardwood over the original roof deck. It looks across the yard to the stone quarter, which means the view is of rooflines rather than of a street, and it holds the light until the sun goes off the cornices.

The block has a reserve fund, a full condition survey from 2023 and a lift that was replaced in 2021. Three years of service-charge accounts are with the particulars.

Above the yard

The Works sits on the north side of the cleared goods yard. There is no through traffic and the nearest active line is 400 m away behind the Depot.

Five minutes to the terminus

The eastern terminus is a five-minute walk across the yard. Nobody who lives in this building keeps a car for commuting; the undercroft spaces exist for weekends.

Service charge

Commonhold, with a lift, plant, concierge desk and funded reserve. The last three years of accounts are attached to the particulars and the 2023 condition survey is available on request.
