A Spectacular Former Hat Factory in Soho

The upper floor is given entirely to an extraordinary open-plan kitchen, dining and reception room. Measuring more than 53 ft in length, the space is crowned by a high pitched ceiling reaching 16ft5, with rooflights and windows on three sides drawing in abundant natural light. Original black-painted trusses lend definition overhead, while pale timber floors and a restrained palette allow the building's industrial vernacular to shine.

A long central island forms the focal point of the kitchen, with gaggenau integrated appliances and extensive stainless-steel cabinetry. There is generous room for several seating areas as well as a substantial dining table, making the space particularly well suited to entertaining. Glazed doors open onto a secluded terrace, while the stairwell void introduces further volume and connects the two floors.

All three bedrooms are arranged on the floor below. The principal suite has extensive fitted wardrobes and a large bathroom with a freestanding bath, walk-in shower and richly veined marble. Two further double bedrooms are served by additional ensuite bath and shower rooms, while an internal terrace brings another private outside space to the bedroom floor. As well as a separate WC and utility room. Built-in storage is found throughout.

Hollen Street lies moments from the restaurants, private members’ clubs and independent shops of Soho, with Carnaby Street and Regent Street also close by. The theatres of the West End, Mayfair’s galleries and the green spaces of Regent’s Park are all within easy reach. Oxford Circus, Tottenham Court Road and Piccadilly Circus stations provide excellent connections across London.
