The Factory, Shepherdess Walk, N1

Positioned on the second floor of The Factory on Nile Street, this exceptional two-bedroom loft apartment offers a vast open-plan living space, rich in industrial character.

Spanning an impressive 1,253 sq. ft, the property features striking exposed brickwork, Crittall-style factory windows, and warm hardwood flooring. A private terrace overlooks the tranquil central courtyard, while east and west-facing windows flood the space with natural light.

At the heart of the apartment is a spectacular open-plan reception, dining, and kitchen area—a versatile space that perfectly embodies loft living. The high ceilings and large factory windows enhance the sense of volume, creating an airy yet inviting environment for both everyday living and entertaining. The two bedrooms are generously proportioned, while the main bathroom and additional ensuite are finished to a high standard.

The Factory was developed by the Manhattan Loft Corporation in 1997, playing a key role in redefining London loft living. Originally an industrial building, it retains its warehouse aesthetic with raw textures and expansive interiors. Residents benefit from a well-maintained communal courtyard and a secure entry system.

Perfectly positioned between Old Street and Islington, the location offers excellent transport links while remaining close to green spaces and the waterways of the City Basin and Regent’s Canal. The nearby Wenlock Arms, overlooking the charming Shepherdess Walk Park, is a local favourite, while the Narrow Boat pub on the canal provides a scenic spot for a drink. From here, it’s easy to explore the vibrant cafes along the canal, including the beloved Towpath Café, or head west to King’s Cross and Camden for a wider range of dining and cultural attractions.

Being sold chain-free with a share of the freehold, this is a rare opportunity to secure a true warehouse-style in one of East London’s premiere building.
