Set within the Grade I listed Port East warehouses, this spacious studio (approx. 592 sq ft) pairs striking industrial character with convenient city living. Exposed beams, brickwork and high ceilings give the apartment a distinctive loft atmosphere rarely found at this size in E14.
Practical benefits include a private off-street parking space, 24-hour concierge and immediate proximity to West India Quay DLR (0.15km) and Canary Wharf Elizabeth Line (0.3km), making commutes and airport travel straightforward. The long lease (98 years) and share-of-freehold tenure offer ownership stability.
Buyers should note material realities: the building’s listed status will restrict alterations and may complicate maintenance. Heating is by electric room heaters and building fabric appears to be solid brick with no assumed insulation, which could mean higher energy bills; council tax is described as expensive. Ground rent is £350 and the local crime level is very high—worth factoring into personal safety and insurance considerations.
This apartment suits a buyer seeking a characterful, centrally located London home or a lettable investment close to Canary Wharf transport links. It’s ideal for someone who values historic features and urban convenience, and who is comfortable managing the constraints and running costs that accompany a listed, solid-brick warehouse conversion.
