Spacious, characterful Grade I listed warehouse duplex near West India Quay transport links.
Large duplex one-bedroom, c.1,138 sq ft, generous living space
A rare duplex warehouse apartment set across the second and third floors of the Grade I listed Port East Building. The apartment has been recently refurbished to combine original features — exposed brickwork, reclaimed wooden beams and vaulted ceilings — with contemporary fixtures, a bespoke kitchen and smart lighting. The large open-plan living space and upper-level south-facing bedroom make the 1-bed layout feel generous and airy.
Practical strengths include a secure allocated parking space, 24-hour concierge, lift access and excellent public transport links: West India Quay DLR and the Elizabeth/Jubilee lines are seconds away, making city and airport journeys straightforward. The property is offered as Share of Freehold with c.98 years remaining and total size around 1,138 sq ft — unusually large for a one-bedroom in the area.
Important considerations: the building’s Grade I listed status may restrict alterations and complicate permissions for changes or future works. Broadband speeds in the area are reported as very slow, and local crime levels are very high. Council tax is described as quite expensive. Buyers should factor potential listed-building constraints into renovation or rental plans.
This apartment will suit someone seeking a characterful, well-located home or an investor wanting a standout flat in Canary Wharf’s Docklands setting. It offers immediate move-in condition but limited scope for major structural alteration due to listing and lease considerations.
