The Property
SHARE OF FREEHOLD

Purplebricks take great pride in marketing this exceptional three bedroom converted warehouse apartment on West India Quay in the heart of Canary Wharf.

One of the largest properties in this historic Grade I listed building, it boasts 2000 sq ft approx of accommodation with views over West India Dock towards Canary Wharf.

From its oak-beamed ceilings and wood flooring to its exposed brick work and original iron window gratings the property's interior provides all the character and charm of original structure but with thoroughly modern fittings including electric heating throughout and air conditioning.

Originally developed as part of the West India Dock between 1800-1804 by George Gwilt & Son, S. H. Kessels observed that at twice the length of the Palace of Versailles, the development outreached 'all the palaces and great houses of Europe', whilst the buildings are described by the Survey of London as 'one of the great monuments of European Commercial Power'.

No. 2 Warehouse was converted between 1998-2000 as a mixture of apartments, restaurants and shops by FSP Architects on behalf of the developers, Manhattan Loft. Port East Apartments is part of the last remaining warehouses that formed the original West India Import Dock. The development is Grade 1 listed and provides an opportunity to own a piece of London's mercantile history.

The size, layout and location make it ideal for anyone working in Canary Wharf or the City, with the Elizabeth Line station on its doorstep providing easy and quick access across London, to Heathrow and beyond.

The property features a remarkable open plan living area- with south facing views, it serves as the perfect space for family life, entertaining or as a hub for working in London.

Further benefits include private secure parking space, a share of freehold in the development, with one main bathroom and one bathroom en-suite to bedroom one, 24 hour porterage and NO ONWARD CHAIN.
