_This Thames-side warehouse apartment offers space and serenity in the heart of London

Asking price: £4,000,000

For those looking for the best of both worlds in a property – a serene space amongst a buzzing city – this riverside home in London is a truly remarkable offering.

Spread across a vast 3,676 sq ft, the 4-bedroom apartment once served as a spice warehouse, dating back to the 1870s.

Perched on the bank of the River Thames between Canary Wharf and Tower Bridge – an area of rich maritime history - a sense of luxury, tranquillity and old-world charm emanates from the property.

In the new issue of Knight Frank’s Waterfront View magazine, research reveals that the waterfront property market - including riverside homes in London - is buoyant, as home buyers remain driven to properties that offer space and calm. Read the new issue here.

Inside, the apartment is beautifully designed for entertaining or simply relaxing at home. The open plan living compliments the warehouse style of the building, while high ceilings and large windows overlooking the Thames makes for an abundance of natural light, allowing buyers to soak up the spectacular, 180 degree south facing views.

The sleek kitchen includes a semi-recessed chef's kitchen to the rear, each equipped with high-end appliances including a Bora hob, Quooker instant boiling tap and wine cooler.

Residents in the principal suite will wake up to exquisite views of the river, as well as an extensive dressing area, plus an en-suite bathroom with Japanese style toilet. A further 3 good sized bedrooms, two bathrooms and a separate utility room completes the first floor.

An impressive feature of the property can be found on the lower level. Accessed via a soundproof door, a spiral staircase leads to a large 1-bedroom self-contained apartment.

The apartment also has its own separate entrance and, with its double height ceilings and open plan living space, matches the look and feel on the first floor. The space could easily be turned into a gym, an office, or a studio to the main apartment.
