French Place E1

This Victorian live/work warehouse is one of the last remaining unmodernised freeholds in Shoreditch. The days of discovering untouched East London warehouses brimming with raw character have all but disappeared, making this a rare gem in today’s modernised landscape. Never before been available on the open market there is a window of opportunity to purchase the building.

Nestled between Shoreditch High Street and Curtain Road and spanning approximately 2,286 sqft over three floors this near standalone building sits prominently on the corner of Batemans Row.

Inside, it retains a unique, part self-built character—including an internal iron security gate. The ground floor, once an entertainment space, boasts a log burner and a custom-built bar, while the first floor has a hand-built, open-plan kitchen and living area. The third floor houses the bedrooms, and the roof terrace offers south-facing views directly towards the City’s skyline, with iconic landmarks beautifully visible day or night. The building’s original charm remains intact, from the floorboards and brickwork to the loading doors and façade.

With the potential to remodel and create a ‘unique residence’ as well as preserving its industrial charm, this warehouse is truly a one-of-a-kind find. Tucked away in the heart of Shoreditch, it offers a chance to own a piece of the area’s hidden history.

Based on French Place just outside the Shoreditch Triangle, the immediate area is surrounded by converted warehouses with diverse residents and amenities. The range of local restaurants, great bars, music venues, and nightlife is endless and all on the doorstep. Old Street tube (Northern Line) is a few minutes around the corner, and both Liverpool Street Station and Shoreditch High Street Station (Overground) are a short walk away.

*This property benefits from granted planning permission for 4x 2-bedroom apartments, under planning number 2022/0995.
