This vast top-floor loft at Limehouse Wharf occupies nearly 3,000 sq ft within one of London’s earliest and most atmospheric warehouse conversions. Exposed brick, timber beams and large industrial windows create dramatic living space with uninterrupted views over Limekiln Dock. The apartment is arranged as two distinct zones — a dramatic open-plan living/mezzanine area and a self-contained studio with its own kitchenette and bathroom — making it well suited to creatives, live/work households or buyers seeking flexible space.
Practical strengths include a share of freehold, an exceptionally long lease (circa 952 years), and a secure, large basement storage room. The riverside location places Canary Wharf and multiple transport options (Elizabeth Line, DLR, Jubilee, Thames Clipper) within short walking distance, while the Thames Path and Limekiln Dock deliver rare waterfront character.
Buyers should note block and apartment constraints: the building is Grade II-listed, which will limit structural changes and may complicate alterations or extensions. The property includes areas of restricted head height and has been in the same ownership for decades, so interior finishes and services may require updating to modern standards. Service charges average £3,135 and council tax is described as expensive; local crime levels are above average.
Overall this is a distinctive, large-scale London loft that offers immediate character and significant scope for sympathetic reconfiguration (subject to listed-building consent). It will appeal to purchasers prioritising scale, riverside atmosphere and live/work flexibility, and who are comfortable with the responsibilities of listed status and the running costs of a landmark conversion.
