Summary - Flat 119 Royle Building, 31, Wenlock Road N1 7SH
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Characterful first-floor loft with private canal wharf access and concierge.
High industrial ceilings and original Crittall-style windows
This loft-style one-bedroom apartment sits on the first floor of a converted printworks at Wenlock Basin, offering generous ceiling heights, Crittall-style windows and exposed brick and concrete features that create authentic industrial character. The open-plan reception and semi-open kitchen benefit from abundant natural light and wood flooring throughout, making the layout feel bright and airy despite a modest overall footprint.
The development provides weekday concierge service, two passenger lifts and a secure cycle store, plus private resident access to the canal wharf — a rare amenity that adds a peaceful waterside aspect to city living. The apartment is well placed for Angel, Upper Street and Old Street, with fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and low local crime enhancing everyday convenience.
Practical details to note: the flat is leasehold with 99 years remaining, heated by electric storage heaters and uses electricity as the main fuel. The building has double glazing installed before 2002 and original solid brick walls likely without modern cavity insulation. The apartment’s roughly 515 sq ft plan suits a single occupant or couple but will feel compact for those needing more space.
This property will suit a buyer seeking characterful, centrally located living with excellent transport and amenity access, who accepts some retrofit and energy-efficiency limitations. It also offers straightforward rental appeal for investors targeting inner-city demand, though prospective buyers should allow for potential heating upgrades, window/insulation improvements and the constraints of a leasehold tenure.
