Cotton's Gardens, London, E2

An original freehold Victorian warehouse built in circa 1860 which was formerly a printworks, situated on a quiet cobbled street in Shoreditch. This mixed use residential/commercial building spans just under 3,400 sq ft (approx.) over 6 floors of a classic character filled warehouse. Currently used and laid out as an office on the ground/lower ground floor, studio apartment on the first floor and triplex loft apartment on the second, third and fourth floors with roof terraces.

Historical freehold warehouses rarely come to the market in central Shoreditch, especially with authentic character throughout. Key features include loading doors complete with external loading winch, large crittal windows both north and south facing, high ceilings, exposed red brickwork and original wood floors. The roof extension which houses a large open plan living space also benefits from two terraces and access to a roof terrace with stunning unobstructed 360 degree views across the City.

The main entrance opens to a hallway with access to the self-contained commercial office unit on the ground and lower ground floor. This duplex level is linked via an open plan staircase and includes wooden floors, good ceiling height, large window fronting Cottons Gardens, gas central heating, toilet and kitchen facilities. On the first floor is a characterful studio apartment with kitchen, shower room and open plan living with crittall windows at either end. The upper floors, currently used as a large three double bedroom loft apartment, has been designed embracing all of the original warehouse features in mind with loading doors on every landing of the staircase. Two large double bedrooms and three piece bathroom (including free standing claw foot bath) are on the second floor and a south facing open plan kitchen/dining room and third large double bedroom are on the third floor. The top floor open plan living/entertaining space (including separate w/c) has sliding doors to the north and south that lead out to two decked terraces/balconies and unobstructed views across the rooftops of Perseverance Works towards the City . A spiral staircase from the southern facing terrace leads to roof terrace (unofficial) with recessed seating area and birds eye views of Shoreditch and The City in all directions.

The property is being sold with Vacant Possession and VAT is payable on the ground and lower floor commercial unit. If purchasing the freehold through a company, the benefit of claiming the VAT back could be applied.

The famous flower market on Columbia Road, including well known eateries Morito, Brawn & Campania, along with Hoxton Square, are both around the corner.
