St. Pancras – so much more than a railway station

Filed under: Latest News — Tags: St. Pancras — David Taylor @ 12:04 pm

Writes Alec Papasavva from estate agents Frank Harris and Company in Marchmont Street:

“Many people will hear St. Pancras and immediately think about the grandiose station which now serves Eurostar, but the history of the area goes back much further.

“The land on which the station was built was previously known as Agar Town, the only remnant of which remains is Agar Grove, which is just off York Way.

“At the time, the area was known for its squalor, poverty and general deprivation. Houses lacked water and heating, and were severely overcrowded.

“Fortunately, things have changed a great deal since then and there are now a lot of great properties for sale on the market as well as exciting new developments planned for the area.”

Today marks the bicentenary of the birth of the famous architect Sir George Gilbert Scott, the creator of the magnificent St. Pancras station in London.

Writes Andrew Sorene from Kings Cross estate agents Frank Harris and Company: “The recently completed St. Pancras Hotel and of course the fact that Eurostar now runs into the station are both testament to how Kings Cross St. Pancras, and the area around it, have been rejuvenated in recent years.”

New instructions in Bloomsbury and St. Pancras

Filed under: Latest News — Tags: Bloomsbury, Judd Street, St. Pancras, Tavistock Place — David Taylor @ 9:47 am

As we anticipated, at the start of 2011 we are beginning to see more property coming to the market. The Christmas/New Year period is a time when many begin to think hard about the year ahead and for many that involves buying or renting a new home.

Two interesting instructions that Frank Harris and Company are bringing to the market in Bloomsbury are a one-bedroom flat in Tamar House, a purpose-built block hidden behind a re-construction of a typical Georgian terrace façade on Tavistock Place. On the market at £320,000 and needing some updating the flat could possibly (subject to various consents) be re-configured to provide a 2^nd bedroom. For further details click here

Another new listing is a Studio flat in Jessel House on Judd Street just 200m from St Pancras International so a wonderful London pied-a-terre, lying close as it does to this major transport hub. It is equally ideal for those looking for a central London home or rental investment. Click here for details.
