Nile Street, N1

An expansive lateral 1900 sq ft (approx.) loft with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms within the famous Factory on Nile Street. Originally converted by The Manhattan Loft Corporation in 1997 as one of the early warehouse conversions in the area, this former Edwardian textiles factory is a classic example of industrial to residential conversions. The buildings intricate red brick work, open central courtyard and original wrought iron entrance have made this development a well known and desired place for loft lovers to live for many years. Having historically been sold as shell and core space, all the loft apartments within this building are individually different.

With an impressive lobby accessed from Nile Street, a glass lift overlooking the central courtyard with palm trees takes you to an external wood clad walkway leading to the entrance of the apartment. Upon entering, the hallway which includes storage and bookshelves, leads to a huge open plan living/dining space complete with fully fitted raised kitchen, large separate storage cupboard/larder and breakfast bar. The impressive scale and size of this loft is immediately apparent with it’s combined width and length along with having higher ceilings on the first floor within the building. This open space features two original double loading doors overlooking the courtyard, exposed red brickwork, large double glazed Crittall windows and wide oak floor boards. Further along this space is a hallway that leads to the far end of the apartment, which has a separate shower room and second good sized double bedroom with built in storage. The large master bedroom is complete with an en-suite bathroom including sunken bath, full length built in wardrobes and its’s own separate study/possible dressing room.

Located in The Shepherdess Walk Quarter just off City Road, Nile Street is a few minutes walk to Old Street and Angel tube further North. Whilst the redeveloped array of high rise mixed use developments along City Road has increased over the years, The Factory stands out as one of the best historic warehouse conversions near Shoreditch. A new lease of life on the corner of Shepherdess Walk will be completed soon with the sympathetically designed development The Arc, which will bring a mix of coffee shops and restaurants to the doorstep. With Shoreditch, Islington and Clerkenwell all very close by this area is near all the action whist being away from the hustle and bustle. Sold with the added benefit of having underground parking included.
