Shepherdess Walk, London, N1

An elegant dual-aspect loft apartment on the 2nd floor of the iconic Canal Building in N1. The space offers everything one would expect from such a former industrial conversion: large windows, high ceilings, superb flexible spaces, volume, and exposed concrete ceilings. The apartment has been the subject of a meticulous re-design by current owners and comes with secure private underground parking. The open space living section, which combines reception, dining and kitchen, provides an exceptional entertaining area. It is positioned to the left side of the entrance and has large, east-facing double-glazed industrial windows. The sleeping section is in the opposite ‘wing’ of the apartment. Both bedrooms, separated by large sliding panels, also have large windows and a bespoke, built-in wardrobes section. An en-suite bathroom—with access from two sides—runs between the larger bedroom and the living area, while the family bathroom is next to the entrance. The building's history dates back to the 1930s when it was an important textile warehouse. In the late 1990s, Spitalfields-based architects Child Graddon Lewis transformed it into shell apartments, allowing incoming owners to design and create their own personal homes. The transformation was sympathetically carried out, with the building retaining its geometric and linear features. It has become a landmark along the Regent Canal. Canal Building is quietly located on the corner of Shepherdess Walk and the Regents Canal, a few minutes stroll from Shepherdess Park. Its location is extremely convenient for reaching Islington, Hoxton, Shoreditch, Old Street, Clerkenwell, and The City. Both Angel and Old Street Underground Stations are a short walk distance.
