2 bed flat for sale

Shepherdess Walk, Islington N1

An impressive two‐bedroom, two‐bathroom apartment set within Canal Building, a former 1930s textile warehouse positioned directly on Regent's Canal. Converted by architect, Patrick Downing, the unit is located in one of East London's earliest loft developments and remains a benchmark for industrial residential architecture. The original “shell” concept allowed for generous, adaptable internal layouts, with the warehouse's character retained through exposed concrete and brickwork, floating ceilings and large metal‐framed, Crittall‐style windows.
This particular apartment occupies a prominent west-facing corner position and benefits from a rare, overhanging window aspect that gives a strong sense of connection to the canal below. The large open‐plan kitchen, living and dining area is wrapped by floor‐to‐ceiling Crittall‐style glazing, reinforcing the industrial scale while allowing light to flood across the solid oak floorboards throughout the day.
The principal bedroom mirrors this openness, with full‐height windows and sliding internal doors that can either enclose the room or remain open to maintain a fluid, loft‐style plan. The en‐suite bathroom is generous, featuring a lowered Roman‐style bath, an expansive open rainfall shower and a bespoke walk‐through wardrobe positioned behind the bed.
The second bedroom is accessed from the opposite side of the living space via sliding doors, allowing it to function flexibly as a guest room. A separate bathroom with a walk‐in shower serves this room. The entrance hall has been thoughtfully configured to include a custom‐built office area, maximising the use of space without compromising flow.
The apartment also benefits from private, secure parking and 24hr concierge service.
