Househunters seeking the blueprint for cosmopolitan city-living can visit the architecturally-stunning new showhome at George Wimpey's cutting edge Cromwell Place development in Clerkenwell, London.

Opening on Thursday 23rd April, the sensational three-storey 'Plot 10' townhouse combines an uber-cool urban exterior with sumptuous and contemporary interior design - all contained in one of London's most dynamic and historic locations.

At the heart of Plot 10 at Cromwell Place, is a generous living room with high-specification open plan kitchen, featuring luxury Mirari white gloss fitted units, black granite worktops, stainless steel oven, hob and hood, integrated appliances and sleek and stylish chrome fittings and flat plate sockets.

The ground floor accommodation is completed by a downstairs cloakroom, innovative cycle store and hall and the stairway leading to the first floor. Here, viewers will find two superb double bedrooms, a luxury bathroom with built-in shower and a private balcony.

The second floor has instant wow factor, where an exceptional master bedroom with ensuite opens out on to two private balconies, one via French doors.

Cromwell Place comprises a collection of 16 elegant two and three-bedroom townhouses and six spacious one and two-bedroom apartments, designed and constructed to the highest specifications by leading housebuilder George Wimpey North Thames on the site of the former secondary school and infamous Clerkenwell House of Detention in Woodbridge Street.

In every home, there is a sense of generous space and light throughout, with living areas designed to provide the ideal setting to relax and entertain. Attention to detail is paramount and all bedrooms are carpeted, while glorious real wood flooring features in the main hallway, living room and kitchen.

Bathrooms, ensuites and WCs feature state-of-the-art chrome fittings, Ideal Standard white sanitaryware and Amtico flooring; Sky Plus wiring is provided to the living rooms of every home; each apartment has a video and audio entry phone system; while selected properties have gardens and terraces.

Cromwell Place is superbly placed when it comes to making the most of all the capital has to offer every hour of the day and night. Located within the triangle of Rosebury Avenue, Clerkenwell Road and Goswell Road (A1), road and rail links are excellent.
Farringdon Station is just 700 yards away and is on the Metropolitan, Circle, and Hammersmith and City Underground lines - just one stop westwards to Kings Cross/St Pancras International, one eastwards to Barbican and two to Moorgate.
