_Own this gutsy 2-bedroom loft conversion with swing in iconic warehouse space near Canary Wharf
Guide price:£750,000
Minutes from the glittering skyscrapers of Canary Wharf sits Port East, West India Quay - an 18th century, iconic, yellow-brick warehouse that once stored the countless goods that passed through one of the busiest trade ports in the world.
Now Grade I listed and spliced into roomy loft conversions, traces of the building's former life are evident in the raw living spaces that brag soaring ceiling heights and excellent bone structure born from cubic volumes of industrial ruggedness.
On the market is this 2-bedroom, spirited conversion with plenty of personality. Functional and minimalist skandi flavours are distilled into a New York style, gutsy warehouse shell which is a highly flexible space that could be configured as 2 bedrooms or 1 bedroom with large home office.
Spanning c. 142 sq m there area two mezzanine-level double bedrooms that occupy the west and east wings of the main living space. One bedroom has a handy walk-in closet.
The roof space has been left exposed revealing original timber beams and freshly installed roof lights which drench the bedrooms in light.
Below is the main kitchen/dining/living space, two bathrooms and a private balcony. Naturally, when you combine timber beams and lofty ceiling heights it would be rude not to install a swing and this apartment comes already equipped with the quirk. A great talking point before, during or after dinner.
The building benefits from concierge and secure car parking.
