Glorious ceiling heights, tudor-gothic architecture and a sleek contemporary specification define this double-height one-bedroom loft at the Royal Artillery Barracks in Woolwich.

 

Covering 739 sq ft (68 sq m), the interior divides across two levels, with the living space, kitchen and cloakroom on the ground floor, and the bedroom and shower room upstairs on a glass-fronted mezzanine.

Contemporary East London Loft

 

A loft of this magnitude is a surprising find in this quiet part of E3, a rarity directly opposite Limehouse Cut canal. Double height ceilings, floor to ceiling windows, and two impressive bedrooms, this is a very well-thought out use of space creating a wonderful family home.

The use of vertical space is shrewdly arranged, never comprising on square footage or light. The reception area is arranged naturally into distinct living and dining areas, but can easily be rearranged to taste, comfortably accommodating a host of lifestyle choices. From the balcony doors there is a beautiful view of Canary Wharf and the canal. Natural light is this property’s major asset, which makes the space inviting and joyful to spend time in.

The Mothership – strength is in the name. This boat commands that rarest of things – a permanent and transferable private mooring in the heart of the city.

 

Beautiful walnut & oak wood interiors, underfloor and wall electric heating is present throughout. Down a well-trodden path, just across the water from Primrose Hill, you stumble onto The Cumberland Basin. At one end of the mooring, the Mothership sits in a prime location.

Time for class

A classic school conversion situated in the heart of old school North London, retaining the epic charm of this historic Victorian red-brick.

Shepperton Road school (renamed Chaplin House) was converted in the mid 2000s into a series of spacious residential units. This duplex apartment has beautiful original Victorian sash school windows, a wonderful asset to the property.

Further inside, it opens up into a beautiful open-plan reception room. Original tall victorian sash windows throw in great light, curating a relaxing living space, with two bedrooms one cleverly situated on the mezzanine level.
