Academy Buildings, Fanshaw Street, London, N1

With lofty proportions and expansive windows that flood the internal spaces in light, there’s much to lust after in this eclectic two-bedroom flat in the heart of Hoxton.

Brickworks Says - Tucked between Hoxton and Shoreditch, this striking two-bedroom, first-floor warehouse conversion overflows with character, charm and colour. 

Inside, you're welcomed by a metallic spiral staircase that leads up to the apartment's front door. Bare brick walls, loading doors, glass wall blocks and exposed steel beams nod to the building's heritage, while colourful artwork, plants and textured furnishings contrast against the industrial design, creating a dynamic and comfortable home.

Huge, dual-aspect windows flood the main living area with light. It's an impressive multi-purpose space that's been divided into sections: a cosy living room, a spacious dining area, a reading nook with bespoke curved shelving and hidden storage, and kitchen. Down the hall are two double bedrooms with mammoth windows, one with a useful dressing area and an en-suite shower room. The main wetroom is elegant and luxurious with its floor-to-ceiling black tiles.

If you're after a buzzy London lifestyle, then you can't beat this location. Regent's Canal is a short stroll away in one direction, with delicious waterside cafes and restaurants such as Towpath and WaterHouse, while Kingsland Road is in the other, and an impressive array of Vietnamese eateries full of perfect pho. At the end of Fanshaw Street, you'll find faultless Tuscan flatbread sandwiches at Dal Fiorentino.

The Owners Say - Living in the Academy Buildings in Hoxton offers a blend of historic charm and urban living in one of London's most vibrant neighbourhoods. The building is a unique warehouse conversion, and we love the high ceilings and wonderful windows that flood the space with light. It's a place rich in character and big in heart - we'll be sad to say goodbye!

The Hoxton location has been incredible. It places you in the heart of East London's creative scene, surrounded by cafés, art galleries, and boutique shops. Shoreditch, Old Street, and the City are also within easy reach. And with excellent transport links and a thriving local community, we've been spoiled for convenience and culture.

Getting around:
Whatever direction you head in, you’re not far from fantastic connections. The nearest tube station is Old Street (Northern Line), an eight-minute walk. Hoxton Overground is about a five-minute walk away, and Liverpool Street is deceptively close, which is great for getting to Paddington, Stansted, and Heathrow. London Bridge is also a few stops on the Northern Line, providing access to the south. Columbia Road Flower Market and Old Spitalfields Market are within walking distance, as are Shoreditch Park and Haggerston Park.

Onward plans:
The current owners are having a baby so they’re looking to upsize. They are actively looking.

The Legal Bit - While we strive to create true-to-life photographs, floor plans and descriptions, our marketing material is only a guide. Purchasers should always visit in person, ask relevant questions and triple-check details. Brickworks takes our duty of care incredibly seriously and takes all reasonable steps to ensure all presented information is correct. However, we sometimes rely on the accuracy of the information provided to us by the seller and others. Also, please note that we often round up/down total floor plan measurements and/or use approximate distances.
