Architecture & Interior
The historic art deco Canal Building was converted in 2000, and this particular unit has possibly the best view towards Angel and Islington.
A generous hallway with huge storage cupboards leads into an extensive open plan reception room.
Floor to ceiling double glazed Crittall windows and doors, wooden floors and original concrete pillars and ceiling ensure the absolute authenticity of the building. This light-filled living space defines the term ‘loft living’, blending the best of the industrial past with contemporary touches.
The terrace is accessible through two big, glazed doors, a great area to relax and wind down. Union Chapel and St Mary’s Church on Upper Street can both be seen piercing above the roofline.
To the rear of the space, the kitchen has been redesigned by the current owner. A utility room and pantry have been added alongside fresh cabinetry and integrated appliances, all under industrial countertops and a kitchen island.
Adjacent is the principal bedroom complete with a sizeable walk-in wardrobe and ensuite bathroom. Finished in parquet flooring, the bedroom’s huge industrial window throws in natural light.
To the back of the apartment a second reception room is separated by a solid pane of tempered glass and is ideal for a study, guest bedroom. Hidden behind big wardrobe doors is a large ensuite shower room.
The Canal Building is amongst the finest industrial conversions in London, preserving its concrete and brick material palette throughout. Originally sold as shell units aimed at professionals requiring the live/work lifestyle, the community is strong, with many of the original owners still in residence.
A 24-hour concierge is provided set behind secure gates within well-maintained communal areas and a shared south-facing roof terrace with panoramic views of the City. There is plenty of secure bicycle storage and included is a private covered parking space, adjacent to the communal building door.
In The Neighbourhood
The Canal building is excellently situated on the Regent’s Canal towpath leading towards Angel in one direction and Victoria Park in the other. The independent shops, bars and restaurants of Upper Street are a 10-minute walk away, ranked as one of London’s best high streets. Closer to home, Anna Higham’s fabulous Quince bakery is near at hand by Arlington Square, and the highly rated gastropub The Baring is a step away.
Old Street, a 15-minute walk, has become one of the best areas to go out in London as well as having a thriving high street with essential shops and services.
Just around the corner is Shepherdess Walk Park, historically a Victorian pleasure garden and Shoreditch Park, a big green open space.
Transport & Connections
Angel and Old Street are the nearest tube stations, both only a 10-minute walk, connecting to Northern Line services. A raft of 24- hour buses run down both City Road and Essex Road taking you straight into town. For cyclists, everywhere in central London is accessible within 15-30 minutes, with the route to Bank only 10 minutes door to door.
