Set on the second floor of a Manhattan Loft Corporation conversion, this expansive two-bedroom loft delivers authentic warehouse character across 1,253 sq ft. The apartment’s high ceilings, Crittall-style windows and exposed brick create an airy, light-filled living space that suits creative professionals, couples or those seeking a standout central London home.
The open-plan reception, dining and kitchen area flows onto a private terrace overlooking a communal courtyard — a rare outdoor space for city living. Both bedrooms are generously proportioned and the principal bathroom plus an ensuite are presented to a high standard. The property is sold chain-free with a long lease and share of the freehold, simplifying ownership.
Practical considerations include an above-average service charge and comparatively high council tax, which should be factored into running costs. The building’s original solid-brick construction likely means limited wall insulation, and the double glazing dates from before 2002. These are manageable but may prompt future upgrade works for improved energy efficiency.
Located between Old Street and Islington, the flat benefits from excellent transport links, fast broadband and abundant local amenities — cafes, pubs, and canal-side leisure — though the immediate area is classed as a multicultural student neighbourhood with a higher level of local deprivation. For buyers seeking a striking, spacious loft with genuine character and strong connectivity, this is a compelling central London opportunity.
