Port East Apartments, 12 Hertsmere Road E14

Spanning approx. 2,100sq ft internally, this Grade 1 listed warehouse conversion is not only grand in scale, but also festooned with an abundance of fantastic period features. From the high Timber beamed ceilings, solid wood flooring, exposed brick work and original wrought-iron window gratings, this apartment blends modern living and historic charm seamlessly. Starting with the entrance hallway and its high vaulted skylight above, the apartment makes an instant impression. The three good-sized double bedrooms are all accessible from this space, two of which come with their own private en-suite bathrooms, and there is a separate family bathroom along with a guest W/C as well. The main highlight of this apartment is the vast, south-facing, open-plan reception area. With views overlooking West India's North Dock, this room is designed to be the perfect entertaining space. The generous island kitchen arrangement, replete with all of the mod-cons one would expect, has been designed to marry-up well with the historic nature of the main living space, and also comes with it's own designated bar area. The apartment also comes with it's own secure, off-street parking space and Port East has a 24hr on-site concierge team for residents as well.

Originally developed as part of the West India Import Dock between 1800-1804 by George Gwilt & Son, S. H. Kessels observed that at twice the length of the Palace of Versailles, the development outreached 'all the palaces and great houses of Europe', whilst the buildings are described by the Survey of London as 'one of the great monuments of European Commercial Power'.

No. 2 Warehouse was converted between 1998-2000 as a mixture of apartments, restaurants and shops by fsp Architects on behalf of the developers, Manhattan Loft. Port East Apartments is part of the last remaining warehouses that formed the original West India Import Dock. The development is Grade 1 listed and provides an opportunity to own a piece of London's mercantile history.

The development is supremely located for DLR services to London City and Tower Hill via West India Station (0.15km) and in recent years, a much wider reach via London's new Elizabeth Line (0.3km), opening up locations as far as London's famous West End and putting Heathrow Airport now within easy reach.
