THE ESTATE
The Charterhouse began as a Carthusian priory in 1348, became a Tudor mansion, and has stood as an almshouse since 1611. It remains a working community today, with its own chapel and museum, set behind gates on one of the City’s last great private squares. Residents hold fob access to Charterhouse Square gardens, Pensioners Court and the Master’s Garden, and a new access control system has recently been fitted to the building’s stair doors.
LOCATION
Farringdon, with the Elizabeth line, Thameslink and three Underground lines, is a short walk, as are Barbican, Smithfield and the restaurants of Clerkenwell.
