Set atop the iconic Canal Building, this penthouse occupies an exceptionally large 1,700 sq ft footprint with dramatic double-height living space and expansive glazing that frame sweeping City and Islington views. Two private terraces — one south-facing — extend the living space outdoors, ideal for sun and skyline vistas. Secure garage parking and a 24-hour concierge add practical comfort in a central location between Angel and Shoreditch.
The apartment is arranged over two levels. The principal suite occupies the upper floor with generous fitted storage, an en suite shower, an electric roof light and a versatile area suitable for a home office or dressing room. The lower level offers a second double bedroom, a family bathroom, abundant fitted storage, and a large open-plan reception with a centrally positioned kitchen that encourages sociable living.
Practical points are straightforward: the flat is leasehold with an unusually long term remaining (972 years), double glazing is present (installation date unknown), and the main heating and fuel are electric with a boiler and radiators — running costs may be higher than gas alternatives. The building dates from 1930–1949 and has solid brick walls with assumed lack of cavity insulation, which may affect thermal performance and future upgrade scope.
This home suits buyers seeking a dramatic, spacious London penthouse with excellent transport links and concierge convenience — ideal for professionals, downsizers wanting space without a garden, or investors targeting high-end central rental. Council tax is described as quite expensive; factor ongoing running costs when assessing overall value.
