This wonderful one-bedroom apartment sits on the first floor of the sought-after Union Wharf building, just off Regent’s Canal. Full-width south-west facing windows along one side open the apartment fully to the balcony, from which there are peaceful views over the waters of Wenlock Basin. This building is finished beautifully, with smooth concrete ceilings, stripped Crittall windows and exposed structural pillars that create a striking and coherent minimalist aesthetic throughout.

The Tour

Reaching 779 sq ft internally, the apartment is primarily open-plan. On entry, there is a wide lobby, storage and bathroom. From here, the large living and dining room open to the kitchen, allowing natural light to pour into the apartment. The wide balcony runs the length of the apartment, making the best of the evening sun.

The main bedroom has built-in wardrobes and floor-to-ceiling glazing with similar views towards the canal. A slightly raised area just off the central reception room, separated by a stud wall, provides a versatile space for a study or guest bedroom.

The building is exceptionally well-maintained and is entered from Wenlock Road, a quiet no-through road that runs towards the Regent’s Canal alongside Shepherdess Walk Park. The communal lobby has a concierge and night porter and lifts access to all floors. The canal path that runs between the building and the water is for the exclusive use of the residents.

The Area

The building is excellently located next to the Regent’s Canal footpath, which leads towards Angel in one direction and Victoria Park in the other. Shepherdess Walk Park sits opposite the building’s entrance. It is conveniently placed for access to the City. The shops, bars and restaurants of Islington, Shoreditch, Hoxton and Clerkenwell are within easy reach. Significant redevelopment and investment is taking place in the area around City Basin and Old Street’s ‘Silicon Roundabout’, as it attracts tech companies and creative talent from around the world.

Both Angel and Old Street stations are nearby for access to Northern Line services.
