Strapline
A light-filled, triple-aspect warehouse apartment overlooking the canal, brimming with original features and spanning over 1,600+ sq. ft. in the heart of East London.


Description

A stunning apartment featuring beautifully presented living spaces, maintained in immaculate condition throughout. It offers a truly unique and versatile living environment within what was once the historic Spratt’s Dog Biscuit factory—a distinctive Victorian warehouse set along the Limehouse Cut canal. The property proudly showcases its industrial heritage with exposed brickwork, original Crittall windows, steel beams, and solid wooden floors, all of which lend a tangible sense of warmth and character.
Upon entering, you are greeted by a spacious hallway featuring extensive floor-to-ceiling, deep built-in storage running the length of the corridor. The hallway leads to a large bathroom suite, complete with an expansive shower and a separate bathtub.
The generously sized, east-facing bedroom benefits from morning light and includes a floor-to-ceiling built-in wardrobe. It opens directly onto a private balcony—the perfect spot for a morning coffee or evening relaxation.

The highlight of this remarkable home is the expansive open-plan kitchen, living, and dining area—ideal for everyday living, working, and entertaining. This space boasts impressive triple-aspect views through five large arched windows, a second balcony overlooking the canal, a double loading bay, and a New York loft-style fire escape with a substantial landing.
Natural light floods the interior from the southwest, west, and north, illuminating the apartment throughout the best part of the day. The property enjoys exceptional privacy, due to the distance of neighbouring buildings.

Set within the highly sought-after Spratt’s warehouse conversion, the apartment further benefits from two dedicated parking spaces: one very large secure underground space and an additional covered space with extra secure storage—adding both convenience and practicality.
Uniquely, the property offers significant reconfiguration potential. The vendors advise that it holds two separate leases and features two entrance doors, creating a rare opportunity to reconfigure the layout or even create two self-contained apartments (subject to necessary consents).

Location

Colmans Wharf, part of the Spratt’s Factory Complex, is ideally located along the scenic Limehouse Cut Canal, making it highly attractive to commuters traveling to the City, or Canary Wharf, with easy access to Shoreditch, Borough, Farringdon and Greenwich night life.

Colmans Wharf is within easy walking distance (approximately 7 minutes) of two DLR stations—Langdon Park and Devons Road—providing direct links to Canary Wharf, Greenwich, Bank/Tower Hill, and Stratford, with extensive London Underground network (Jubilee, Elizabeth, and Central lines) as well as Overground rail across South East and East of England.

Nearby, there are plenty of green spaces for dog lovers, Barlett Park being the closest (5 mins away) including the prodigious Olympic Park and expansive Greenwich Park, as well as an array of gyms, sports centres, canal-sidewalks, kayaking, tennis clubs, and cycling routes. The area also offers an enviable selection of bars, cafés, and cinemas—whether you head towards Limehouse Basin or the Thames riverfront or the up and coming fashionable Grand Union Canal.

This is a home that embodies history, craftsmanship, and the rare authenticity of true industrial warehouse living.
