This light-filled and incredibly versatile factory conversion exceeding 1,600 sq ft, is situated in the triangle formed by Clerkenwell, Islington, and Shoreditch.
The former Edwardian print-works was redeveloped by the Manhattan Loft Corporation in the late 1990s, emerging as one of the pioneering industrial-residential conversions of its kind. The interior spaces have a wonderful sense of volume and space, contemporary additions have been introduced, yet the tactile industrial vernacular remains.
Accessed via an impressive lobby off Nile Street, a glass lift shaft that overlooks a central courtyard of palm trees and wooden-clad walkways, takes you to the second floor where the apartment is located.
Upon entering, a spacious hallway leads you through the apartment which opens up to the vast living area beyond. The open-plan room accommodates space for living, dining and seating areas, all filled with a beautiful quality of light. Two walls of exposed brick and metal-framed factory windows characterise the industrial space.
Sleek black cabinetry line the walls of the kitchen area, housing integrated appliances with a central island and gas range demarcating the space. Stainless steel splashbacks sit above marble worktops, with solid wood flooring continuing throughout.
The primary bedroom is tucked away at the rear of the living space. An interesting curved wall forms an internal dressing room, while double doors lead to a luxuriously appointed en-suite bathroom. A further internal bedroom or study is accessed off the hallway. A separate bathroom, complete with a walk-in shower is located next door.
Sitting in close proximity to the centres of Old Street, Shoreditch, Clerkenwell and Angel, the area is known for its exciting mix of restaurants, bars and galleries, including Manteca, Bistro Freddie, Shoreditch House and Victoria Miro Gallery. The boutiques and cafés of Redchurch Street and Spitalfields are also nearby.
The apartment is conveniently located just off City Road, a quick four minute walk to Old Street Station and its connections to the Northern Line. Angel and Hoxton Stations are also within easy walking distance.
