Wenlock Road, Union Wharf, N1

Situated in the coveted Union Wharf building this generous 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom loft style home with a palette of exposed concrete and galvanised steel establishes an industrial aesthetic throughout. Offering almost 1,200 sqft of exceptionally open and bright space across two floors, complete with open mezzanine bedrooms, and far-reaching south-west views from the floor to ceiling windows and balcony onto Wenlock Basin below.

Stepping inside, the hallway provides practical, integrated storage for coats and shoes to keep the space effortlessly uncluttered, alongside a discreetly positioned bathroom tucked neatly beneath the stairs.

Ahead lies the expansive, light-filled open-plan kitchen, living area and private balcony. Soaring ceilings and floor to ceiling windows provide striking views towards Centre Point and over the basin and canal with passing narrowboats below. 

The apartment offers a new owner the opportunity to refurbish and upgrade the existing space, which is the original specification and would benefit from repairs/improvements. Designed with both functionality and entertaining in mind, the kitchen is split across two distinct workspaces: one could be utilised for cleaning and housing kitchenware, the other as a central preparation island and casual breakfast bar.

The mezzanine level adds an extra dimension of living space while preserving the volume and light of the double-height ceilings below. Both double bedrooms enjoy the same far-reaching outlook.   The main bedroom space further benefits from an en-suite bathroom featuring a generously sized mirror and shower.

The building is located on a quiet no-through road, and benefits from a daytime concierge service, exclusive use of the canal path that runs between Union Wharf and the canal and a secure electric gate entrance to the parking area with its own designated parking space, and bike store.

Positioned on the curve of Wenlock Road and overlooking the waters of Wenlock Basin, Union Wharf occupies one of N1’s most coveted canal-side settings. A rare balance between an urban environment and a waterside view, the location acts as a natural gateway between the historic charm of Islington, the creative side of Shoreditch, and the bustling City of London.

The Regent’s Canal towpath runs right beside the development, offering a scenic, traffic-free route for morning jogs or weekend cycle rides, heading west toward Angel and King’s Cross, and east toward London Fields and Victoria Park. Directly opposite, Shepherdess Walk Park provides a welcome touch of green in the city.

Some Easthaus area favourites include:

Towpath Café: A beloved canal-side institution famed for its seasonal, locally sourced plates and riverside atmosphere.

The Duke of Cambridge & The Wenlock Arms: Traditional yet refined local pubs just a short stroll from the property.

Pophams Bakery: Renowned across East London for its artisanal pastries, specialty coffee, and exceptional craft sourdough.

Victoria Miro Gallery: Situated moments away on Wharf Road, showcasing major international and contemporary artists.

Nearby transport links include OldStreet Station (0.6 miles), Angel Station (0.8 miles), and Highbury & Islington Station (1.2 miles).
