Description

Welcome to this elegant loft apartment on the 4th floor of the iconic Canal Building in N1. This building's history dates back to the 1930s when it was an important textile warehouse. In the late 1990s, Spitalfields-based architects Child Graddon Lewis transformed it into shell apartments, allowing incoming owners to design and create their own personal homes.

This loft offers everything you would expect from such a former industrial space: large windows, high ceilings, superb flexible spaces, volume, and exposed concrete details.

Spanning nearly 900 sq ft, this apartment is the size of an average three-bedroom apartment, providing ample space for a luxurious one-bedroom layout. The south-facing living area, which combines reception, dining, and kitchen, is a unique space with amazing views over the city skyline. The blinds covering the entire glass window wall in the living room, dining area, and kitchen are all electric, providing convenience and modern comfort. The modern kitchen is well-designed to fit the rest of the space, featuring large open areas and a wine cooler. The entire apartment is thoughtfully laid out, with underfloor heating ensuring a warm and inviting atmosphere.

The large bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe section and its own access to the shower room. The shower itself is an extraordinary feature, with an aquarium containing live tropical fish and a state-of-the-art tank cleaning system. The bathroom is also accessible via the living room.

The entire development is fully gated and controlled by a 24-hour porter who knows all the residents by name. Additional amenities include secure underground parking with an allocated parking space, bike storage, and pet-friendly policies. In this specific block, there is a small communal south-facing terrace on the 5th floor. Residents also enjoy exclusive access to a communal area by the water, perfect for drinks or dining outside with friends.

This loft truly embodies a perfect blend of historical charm and modern luxury, offering a spacious and well-designed living environment.
