Description

This wonderfully versatile apartment is in Islington's sought-after Union Wharf building, next to Wenlock Basin and the Regent's Canal. Its first-floor balcony captures green views across nearby Shepherdess Walk Park. Some of London's best dining destinations are nearby, along with the lively hubs of Clerkenwell, Hoxton, Shoreditch and Old Street for the City.

The Tour

The block is entered from Wenlock Road, a quiet no-through road that runs towards the Regent’s Canal alongside Shepherdess Walk Park. The communal lobby has a concierge and night porter, as well as lift access to all floors.

On the first floor, the apartment's accommodation centres around a large open-plan living space with east-facing original windows that maximise the intake of natural light. The kitchen and bathroom are positioned towards the rear of the apartment.

Concrete ceilings and exposed structural concrete pillars stand as a reminder of the building's industrial past. While the space is currently configured as an open studio, a bedroom space could be delineated if desired.

There is a large, slightly raised walled area to the left side of the wide room. Currently used as a dressing area with a recessed wardrobe, this would make an ideal sleeping area or spacious study.

Outside Space

The balcony runs the entire length of the apartment and overlooks Shepherdess Walk Park, a peaceful neighbourhood community space.

Bike storage facilities are available and it is possible to rent a parking space in the residents' car park. The canal path that runs between the building and the water is for the exclusive use of residents.

The Area

Union Wharf is a few minutes' from the Regent’s Canal towpath, which leads towards Angel in one direction and to Broadway Market and Victoria Park in the other.

The shops, bars and restaurants along Upper Street and Islington are around a 10-minute walk away, including a branch of Waitrose. Victoria Miro is close, as are Sadlers Wells and the Almeida Theatre.

Local culinary haunts include The Duke of Cambridge, The Tamil Crown and Cajun-inspired Plaquemine Lock, which is also known for its jazz. Along the canal are Towpath and The Baring in De Beauvoir Town.

Shepherdhess Park Walk is the closest green space to the apartment and is known for its mosaic murals. The wide open space of Shoreditch Park is eight minutes away on foot and is next to the Britannia Leisure Centre, which has indoor swimming pools.

Old Street station is a 15-minute walk away and provides access to Northern line and to National Rail services. There are a host of bus and cycle routes with paths equidistant to Soho, Shoreditch and the city.
