Wapping Lane, London, E1W

Architecture & Interior Merely a minute from the Thames in Gulliver’s Wharf a former tea warehouse, is this beautiful warehouse apartment that has been dramatically transformed by the current owner, whilst remaining sympathetic and original as it can be. Up onto the first floor, you immediately enter into a beautiful open reception room, with brick walls and warehouse windows at every angle. It is a beautifully appointed, open plan lateral space full of industrial styling, with a quality kitchen loaded with top of the range appliances and an inclusive utility cupboard, benefitting from a separate washing machine and dryer. It’s not fashion over practicality either, the three bedrooms are superbly designed, with the principle bedroom incorporating a dedicated dressing room and underfloor heating. Two of the bedrooms have luxurious en-suites and there also is an equally impressive family bathroom. Further benefits include RAKO lighting throughout the apartment, a secure underground parking space and hyper-optic broadband. In the neighbourhood Wapping is known for its ‘village-in-the-city’ vibe, with everything you need on your doorstep (parks, pubs, restaurants, coffee shops, butchers, dry cleaners et al) whilst also managing to have its own unique charm, with residents quickly developing a first name basis with shop-owners & neighbourly dog-walkers alike. Transport and connections Transport links are exceptional, with Wapping Station (London Overground) 250 yards from the development, which is two stops to Whitechapel on the H&C and Elizabeth Lines, which means door-to-door transport from the flat being: Shoreditch - 11 minutes Liverpool Street - 15 minutes Canary Wharf - 16 minutes Bond Street - 20 minutes Heathrow- 55 minutes The Thames Path is also a two-minute walk for those who walk or cycle to work (20 minutes on foot to The City and Canary Wharf), with the Highway being a two-minute drive offering easy access to the M1 And the north. History Gulliver’s Wharf, a former spice and grain warehouse but primarily famous for storing tea for the empire, was built around 1850 before being re-imagined in the 1990’s during the extensive and exciting regeneration of the local area. It’s a beautiful, building, unscathed by war time bombings and now home to a small collection of wonderful and oversized warehouse spaces. It was one of the first Wapping warehouses to be converted into residential living and is a reminder of the fictional character of Jonathan Swift’s classic novel “Gulliver’s Travels” – also in the 1960s film; “The Three Worlds of Gulliver”.
