An outstandingly well-designed apartment with beautiful views over the Wenlock Basin from its southwest-facing balcony. A great position within the newly refurbished building, overlooking an attractive listed warehouse through canopies of canal-side trees. With no balcony above it, the open-plan living areas are flooded with natural light.
The layout creates a full-width reception room, with a double-glazed wall of Crittall windows opening onto the balcony. It is being sold for the first time, having been bought off-plan by the current owner. It is located on the second floor of Union Wharf, a well-conceived waterside development on the site of the former Royle printing works. The building has a concierge, lift access and external communal areas alongside the canal.
The bedroom is elevated, with steps up to a landing area. It has a built-in wardrobe and storage cupboard. There are further cupboards in the entrance hall. The kitchen has been opened up to maximise the natural light and provide a connection with the dining area. Exposed concrete columns and beams throughout emphasise the building’s industrial structure. Hardware flooring and lacquered-steel column radiators and Automist fire system.
Union Wharf occupies a secluded, tranquil location surrounded by water and on a no-through road; yet is within easy reach of the shops, bars and restaurants of Islington, Hoxton, and Clerkenwell. Local hotspots include Pophams Bakery, The Wenlock Arms, an organic pub, The Duke of Cambridge, and minutes along the canal is the Towpath Cafe. Shepherdess Walk Park is directly in front of the building.
Angel and Old Street underground stations (Northern Line), are both a short walk away and the apartment is conveniently placed for access to the City.
