The Warehouse, London N1

“The building’s original factory windows draw beautiful light into the interiors”

A classic example of warehouse living, this one-bedroom apartment embodies its industrial heritage in volume, light and natural materials. In a secure gated building situated in a secluded mews in Islington, the original factory windows and exposed brickwork have been carefully preserved throughout. Wonderfully quiet, the apartment sits near De Beauvoir Village, Dalston, and Newington Green.

The Tour

The Warehouse is a converted industrial building, situated in a village-like pocket of north London. Behind a secure gated entrance, a communal courtyard provides off-street residents’ parking and evergreen plants in the pots along the railing.

This apartment sits on the first floor and opens onto a bright corridor, with plenty of hanging space for coats. The original high ceilings and tall sash windows create a wonderful interplay of light and space.

At the far end, the reception room is exquisitely bright with light entering through ribbon-like triple-aspect windows that wrap around three sides; deep-set windowsills provide natural built-in shelving for books and decorative items. Oak floorboards run throughout the apartment, complementing the warmth of exposed brick, contrasting with the predominantly white, crisp palette. French doors open onto a delightful private balcony, with open views of the neighbouring buildings and treetops.

In the kitchen, pale, high-positioned cabinetry, custom shelving, and a tall window amplify light and enhance the sense of space, while appliances are neatly integrated. Dark-stained wooden countertops contrast the scheme, and storage is plentiful.

There is a generously sized bedroom on the other side of the apartment. It retains the original sash window, drawing in light, while thoughtful additions include a shelving nook for storing books and full-height wardrobes. A large bathroom is adjacent, with a built-in bath and overhead shower, patterned floor tiles, and an overall neutral scheme applied for a calming effect.

The apartment has its own off-road car parking space located behind secure gates.

Outdoor Space

A communal courtyard at the front of the building provides off-street parking and leafy greenery planted in pots along the railing. A balcony extends from the reception room, creating a perfect spot to sit in summer months, with enough room for a couple of pots and a small selection of outdoor furniture.

The Area

King Henry’s Walk sits between De Beauvoir Town and Dalston, within a community-oriented pocket that remains exceptionally well-connected. Residents are just moments away from the award-winning King Henry’s Walk Garden, a volunteer-run oasis featuring a wildlife pond and woodland nature reserve, alongside the local adventure playground of De Beauvoir.

A short walk leads to an abundance of independent eateries, bakeries, and local pubs dotted around De Beauvoir Village, Dalston, and Newington Green, with the vibrant Broadway Market easily reachable on foot.

Transport links are excellent, with Canonbury and Dalston Junction stations providing Overground connections across London, alongside numerous frequent bus routes providing direct access to the City and the West End. Highbury and Islington, which sits on the Victoria line is slightly further afield at 15 minutes on foot.
