Set on the first floor of Union Wharf, this large open-plan one-bedroom apartment blends industrial character with canal-side living. Tall windows and concrete ceilings flood the main space with morning light, and a full-length balcony looks onto Shepherdess Walk Park—a rare slice of green in central Islington. The apartment suits buyers who want a flexible city home, close to Clerkenwell, Shoreditch and Old Street transport links.
The layout is currently a studio-style plan with a recessed dressing area that can double as a sleeping nook or home office. The concrete columns and exposed finishes give the apartment strong character but also limit simple reconfiguration; a more defined bedroom can be created with fitted partitions if desired. The kitchen and bathroom sit to the rear, preserving the main living area’s openness.
Practical points: the building offers concierge, night porter, lift access, bike storage and residents-only canal towpath. A parking space can be rented in the communal car park. The property is sold as a share of freehold with approximately 105 years remaining on the lease.
Notable constraints include electric storage heating and an above-average service charge (around £6,000pa). These factors affect running costs and should be weighed against the apartment’s location, size (approximately 825 sq ft) and strong rental/digital-professional demand in the area.
