Poole Street, London, N1

Wonderful two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment with unique views toward Shoreditch Park and the City Skyline, located on the seventh floor of the iconic Gainsborough Studios. This gated development that has the Regents Canal on one side and Shoreditch Park on the other. Favourably situated in the West part of the building, this corner aspect apartment is in excellent condition. The kitchen and bathrooms have been re-designed by the current owners. On entering the apartment, a light and generous entrance hall leads through to the two bedrooms, both of which have in-built wardrobes. The main bedroom also has an ensuite shower room which, alongside the main bathroom, has been recently modernised to a high specification. The living section is a beautiful and bright space with floor-to-ceiling windows providing a lot of natural light and exceptional views across the park, the Shard and many of London’s other landmarks in the background. The apartment also benefits from underfloor heating and includes a secure parking space. During the 1920’s, the building served as a film studio for Alfred Hitchcock’s early films. The head of Hitchcock by the sculptor Antony Donaldson sits in the internal courtyard. The architecture firm Munkenbeck & Marshall undertook a major redevelopment in 2003; this apartment is one of the best on the site. All residents have access to a 24-hour concierge. The communal areas of the building are very well maintained, and newly fitted double lifts provide access to all floors. Gainsborough Studios is within walking distance of the City, the shops and restaurants at Angel, and the galleries and nightlife of Shoreditch and Hoxton. Islington and Clerkenwell are also within easy reach. Transport links are excellent. Angel and Old Street underground stations are 10 minutes by foot, and both provide services on the Northern Line across the city. New North Road also offers extensive bus connections.
