Canal Building, 135 Shepherdess Walk N1

Available April

An industrial canal-side loft located on the 3rd floor of the iconic Canal Building in N1.

This space offers all the features one would expect from a former industrial conversion: Large windows, high ceilings, flexible layouts, a sense of volume, and exposed concrete ceilings.

The loft has undergone a meticulous redesign by the current owners and includes secure private underground parking as well as a terrace overlooking the Grand Union Canal.

The open-plan living area combines the reception, dining, and kitchen spaces, creating an exceptional area for entertaining. It features large, double-glazed industrial windows with views of the Grand Union Canal and access to the terrace.

The principal bedroom is accessible from both the hallway and the reception room through two large pivot doors, maximising the space. You can reach the second sleeping area, which includes a wall of built-in wardrobes, via a connecting pocket door or the two pivot doors from the reception. The contemporary bathroom features a lovely freestanding bathtub and a separate walk-in shower, along with a separate laundry room accessible from the hallway.

The building has a history dating back to the 1930s, when it served as an important textile warehouse. In the late 1990s, architects Child Graddon Lewis from Spitalfields transformed it into shell apartments, allowing new owners to design their own personal living spaces.

This transformation was carried out with sensitivity, preserving the building's geometric and linear characteristics, making it a landmark along the Regent Canal.

The Canal Building is quietly located at the corner of Shepherdess Walk and the Regents Canal, just a few minutes' stroll from Shepherdess Park. Its location is extremely convenient for accessing Islington, Hoxton, Shoreditch, Old Street, Clerkenwell, and The City.

Both Angel and Old Street Underground Stations are within a short walking distance.
