Description

This bright one-bedroom apartment lies on the fifth floor of Grade II-listed Dundee Court, within Wapping Pierhead Conservation Area. Originally used for storing and producing grains, the building’s utilitarian roots have been preserved through the apartment's decorative scheme, which places industrial-inspired lighting, radiators and a period solid brass bell alongside delicate contemporary features. Brilliantly connected for central London and the East End, the building also sits one street back from the river and is minutes from a handful of cosy Thames-side pubs.

The Building

Listed in 1983, the wharf that Dundee Court sits within is a wonderful example of the warehouse vernacular that has become synonymous with Wapping. This building, which dates to 1873, is a distinctive presence along Wapping High Street, with its burgundy-painted doors and windows, rounded corners and white-brick bands. Fascinatingly, Historic England also cite the building as making "extremely early use of concrete beams".

Dundee Court has been sensitively modernised whilst retaining much of its period character. It has a concierge, as well as a communal lift and stairs that provide access to this fifth-storey apartment.

The Tour

The apartment's private front door grants entry to a hallway grounded with wide oak floorboards. A storage cupboard to one side provides space for hanging coats and tidying away shoes. From here, the eye is drawn towards the original glazed doors that draw light into the open-plan living space. The doors open to a pillar-box red iron Juliet balcony and provide a view of the surrounding warehouse architecture, with glimpses across the Thames beyond.

Sensitively renovated in recent years, the kitchen sits at the rear of the reception space. It takes a U-shape and has been left open to the rest of the room to allow light to circulate. Shaker-style cabinetry is topped with wooden countertops and a hand-painted, Delftware inspired tile splashback. There is a deep Belfast sink with French taps, racks for plates and plenty of open shelving to display pots and jars.

Dappled light from the wide period window in the bedroom cast characterful shadows at dusk. There is a row of built-in oak wardrobes tucked behind the door, with plenty of storage and a clever shelving nook above for books.

Cream zellige tiles decorate the generously proportioned bathroom, which has a chrome shower mixer tap over the bath along with fixtures and fittings from Thomas Crapper.

The apartment also has two car parking spaces located underground.

The Area

Wapping has a storied maritime history. The high street is lined with warehouses that once served the docks, as well as a 14th-century pub, the Town of Ramsgate, which is just a couple of doors down from the apartment. Cinnamon Coffee is on the way to the station and is an excellent stop-off for coffee and cake.

The area around St Katherine’s Docks has lots of restaurants and there are plentiful small parks. Wapping Woods is a favourite local spot for dog-walkers, sunbathers and wildlife spotters, while King Edward VI Park has tennis courts, children’s play areas and is adjacent to the banks of the Thames. The open spaces of Shadwell Basin Outdoor Activity Centre are also nearby. The Thames Path winds east through Wapping, passing converted dock warehouses and pubs, including the local Prospect of Whitby, a firm favourite.

There are plenty of good transport links to the rest of the city and beyond close by. Wapping Overground is a five-minute walk away with services to Highbury and Islington and Clapham Junction in the other direction.
