Summary - 18c Shepherdess Walk N1 7LB
2 bed 2 bath Apartment
Authentic 2-bed loft with huge living space and private terrace near Old Street.
Approx. 1,267 sqft lateral space, very large 40ft living room
A striking warehouse loft offering almost 1,300 sqft of lateral living on the 2nd floor of The Factory, a converted Edwardian textiles building. The apartment’s vast 40ft living room, tall ceilings, exposed red brick and large crittall windows create authentic industrial character and abundant natural light. A decked terrace overlooking the landscaped central courtyard extends the living space and captures morning to early-afternoon sun.
The layout provides two double bedrooms and two bathrooms, including a master with en-suite and built-in wardrobes. Solid timber floors, an open-plan kitchen and large windows to both east and west aspects combine period detail with modern living. Practical benefits include fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and a very long remaining lease (approx. 972 years) held as a share of freehold.
Important practical points: the service charge is around £4,500 pa (above average) and council tax is noted as expensive. The building’s solid brick construction and double glazing installed before 2002 could mean lower thermal efficiency than newer builds; some buyers may want to budget for future improvements. The apartment was part of a 1997 conversion of an earlier (1900–1929) warehouse, so layouts and finishes are individual rather than standardised.
Positioned just off City Road between Shoreditch, Islington and Clerkenwell, the flat is a short walk from Old Street and Angel transport links and benefits from a dense local mix of cafés, shops and amenities. The immediate area is a multicultural, inner-city neighbourhood with ongoing local development, offering urban convenience and authentic loft appeal for buyers who prioritise space, character and location over turnkey, new-build efficiency.
