2 bed flat for sale

Nile Street, London N1

The Factory is one of East London’s most iconic warehouse conversions. This second-floor, double-aspect lateral loft spans over 1,550 sq ft (approx.) with 1 bed plus study/guest room and 2 baths. Designed with authenticity and character in mind, the building was originally transformed by the Manhattan Loft Corporation in 1997-one of the pioneering conversions that helped define the area’s distinctive industrial to residential aesthetic.

Once a bustling Edwardian textiles warehouse, The Factory remains a striking example of redbrick architecture, centred around a tranquil courtyard that contrasts beautifully with the energy of nearby Shoreditch. Each apartment, originally sold as a “shell and core” space, tells its own story-no two are alike.

Accessed from Nile Street, a glass lift glides through the courtyard to a wood-clad external walkway leading to the apartment’s entrance-an inviting corner position facing south and west, flooding the space with light.

Inside, the hallway offers clever storage, a guest shower room, and an internal study or second bedroom, opening out into a spectacular open-plan living and dining area.
The sheer scale and brightness of this loft are striking. Exposed redbrick walls, double-glazed Crittall windows, and warm timber floors frame an expansive living space complete with a fully integrated kitchen and breakfast bar-perfect for entertaining.

To the southeast side, the principal bedroom features a generous walk-in wardrobe/dressing area and a luxurious en suite bathroom with large bath. The apartment also comes with a secure underground parking space-a rare and valuable asset in this sought-after location.

Ideally positioned just off City Road, Nile Street is a short 4-minute walk from Old Street station and surrounded by a rich mix of restaurants, bars, and cultural venues. Sitting quietly between Shoreditch, Islington, and Clerkenwell, The Factory offers the best of all worlds: A peaceful, tucked-away setting within one of East London’s most vibrant and historically layered neighbourhoods.
