2 bedroom apartment for sale

A lateral 2 bed 2 bath loft spanning over 2,200 sq ft (approx.) on the 2nd floor of Limehouse Wharf, a Grade II Listed Warehouse Conversion on Narrow Street E14. At the forefront of early loft living, this historical building was the 3rd warehouse in London to be converted to residential use in 1978 and only has 4 apartments within, each with it’s own floor. The apartment is a stunning example of stripped back industrial character mixed with seamless modern design, offering an expansive living space facing the dock and River Thames. This Victorian warehouse dates back to circa 1840 and overlooks the Limekiln Dock, a tidal basin which served the lime industry as far back as the mid 1700s and ultimately gave this area its name.

Upon entrance, a decadent hall, complete with Champagne display, immaculate marble tiled shower room and utility room, leads to the vast living and dining space immediately drawing your attention to the full length wall of warehouse windows and loading doors opening over the basin. When open, the loading doors create an internal balcony flooded with natural light and benefits from the soothing sound of water from the basin and River Thames below. Aged exposed brickwork, lightly oiled original wood floors, steel pillars and timber beams are a key feature throughout the entire space and showcase this authentic loft in it’s purest form. A bespoke kitchen with metal countertop including integral gas, induction and grill plates follows the line of handcrafted cabinetry that sits behind it, blending style and practicality with open plan living and entertaining in mind.
Continuing through further living and dining space, a sliding wall offers the option of a huge bedroom or guest suite with office and is currently used a gym combined with work area, but also has the option of opening up to create an even larger reception room. The master bedroom is meticulously designed with internal Crittal sliding doors to a walk in wardrobe/dressing room complete with it’s own warehouse loading doors. Accessed from this area is a jaw dropping en-suite with a freestanding oval bath sitting in one corner, double shower and polished concrete countertop including circular basins, while a tiled wall blends seamlessly with a polished floor and the ceiling with it’s central timber beam.

There’s a quiet village like feel to Narrow Street, with the Thames Path offering a beautiful walk along the river via Wapping. Close by are The Grapes and The Prospect of Whitby which are London landmark pubs on the banks of the Thames, dating back some 500 years. A great selection of restaurants and coffee shops in Wapping leads to St Katharine Docks, with its bustling marina scene shadowed by Tower Bridge. Limehouse Wharf is close to Canary Wharf, with the City around 10 mins by the DLR at West Ferry which is within a short walk along with multiple bus routes from Commercial Road.
