1 bed flat for sale

Wenlock Road, London N1

Offering an abundance of space, light, and style, this elegant and comfortable warehouse apartment is set within the iconic Royle Building. Bordering Regent’s Canal and Wenlock Basin, this magnificent home forms part of one of Islington’s earliest warehouse conversions. Formerly the Royle Print Works, the building was transformed into residential dwellings in 1997. Enjoying a tranquil and remarkably peaceful setting, the impressive five-storey brick building retains a wealth of original features within its communal areas, including terrazzo flooring, wide terrazzo staircases and an original printing press in the lobby, paying tribute to the building’s industrial heritage.

Rich in character, the apartment boasts three-metre-high concrete ceilings, iconic concrete pillars, walnut flooring running throughout the majority of the property, exposed brickwork, and large Crittall windows offering stunning views over canal life. Tastefully refurbished by the current owners, this unique home presents a rare opportunity to acquire a turnkey property within this highly regarded development.

The property comprises an inviting entrance hall finished in dark, moody tones that immediately sets the scene for the rest of the apartment. This leads into an expansive open-plan living space, which has been completely reconfigured and opened up by the current owner to create one truly magnificent room. The vast reception area enjoys a desirable westerly aspect, making it the perfect spot to watch the sun set over the canal and an exceptional space for entertaining. The kitchen has been recently modernised, while the bathroom has been transformed into a luxurious, five-star hotel-style retreat. The apartment also features a designated sleeping area with electric curtains, as well as a separate office area.

Residents benefit from recently refurbished communal areas leading to the apartment front doors, two lifts servicing the building, and secure bike storage. Further advantages include a day porter and access to a private residents’ wharf bordering Regent’s Canal; an ideal setting for relaxing or hosting a barbecue.

The Royle Building is conveniently located within easy walking distance of Camden Passage, Upper Street and Old Street. Shoreditch and the City are also easily accessible, highlighting the superb location for both professional and social living.
