King’s Cross’s prettiest building changes hands!

Ashurst Real Estate has completed the sale of The Mews, 1a Birkenhead Street, London WC1H, securing a price close to the £5 million asking price on behalf of its overseas client.

Hidden away, just a minute from King's Cross Station, The Mews is one of the area's best-kept secrets and exceptional building that rarely comes to the market.

Behind an elegant Victorian façade lies a striking, contemporary office building of almost 5,000 sq. ft, arranged around a spectacular 2,900 sq. ft. landscaped courtyard that creates a rare oasis in the heart of Central London.

Its combination of privacy, character, contemporary design and proximity to King's Cross made it a compelling opportunity.

The property was sold as a partially let investment with vacant accommodation, offering a purchaser immediate flexibility to occupy part of the building or pursue a future refurbishment and repositioning strategy.

The buyer is a well-known, long-term King's Cross entrepreneur with ambitious plans for the property's next chapter. We are excited to see what comes next!

This transaction further underlines the strength of demand for distinctive commercial assets in King's Cross, despite wider market uncertainty. While values can vary dramatically within the area, unique buildings in prime micro-locations continue to attract strong buyer interest.

Over the past 18 months, Ashurst Real Estate has completed four investment sales across King's Cross, each illustrating the significant pricing differences that exist between neighbouring streets and individual buildings.

If you are considering selling commercial property in King's Cross and would like an informed view of today's market, Ashurst Real Estate would be delighted to help.
