With far-reaching views towards the city skyline, this two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment is situated on the fifth floor of Gainsborough Studios, a gated development occupying an excellent location, with the Regents Canal on one side and Shoreditch Park on the other.

Favourably situated in the original part of the building rather than the new-build part, the internal living space measures 853 sqft and is offered for sale in excellent condition. The apartment also includes a secure parking space.

During the 1920’s, the building served as a film studio for Alfred Hitchcock’s early films – a corten bust of Hitchcock by the sculptor Antony Donaldson sits as a tribute in the internal courtyard. The esteemed architecture practice Munkenbeck & Marshall undertook a major redevelopment of 280 residential apartments in 2003 and this particular property is arguably one of the best on the site.

The main entrance is positioned to the front of the building, with a 24-hour concierge available to all residents in operation from the ground floor. The communal areas of the building are very well maintained and a double lift provides access to all floors.

On entering the apartment, a light and generous entrance hall leads through to the two bedrooms, both of which have full length glazing and in-built wardrobes. The master bedroom also has an ensuite shower room which, alongside the main bathroom, has been recently modernised to a high specification.

The primary living space sits adjacent and is arranged in an open-plan; a beautifully bright space with floor-to-ceiling windows providing good levels of natural light and exceptional views across the park, the Shard and many of London’s other landmarks in the background.

Gainsborough Studios is within walking distance of the City, the shops and restaurants at Angel, and the galleries and nightlife of Shoreditch and Hoxton. Islington and Clerkenwell are also within easy reach. The open spaces of Shoreditch Park are on the doorstep.

Transport links are excellent. Angel and Old Street underground stations are five minutes by foot and both provide services on the Northern Line across the city. New North Road also offers extensive bus connections.
