Factory and warehouse conversions encapsulate London’s spirit, breathing new life into historic structures while elegantly preserving their architectural heritage and embracing contemporary design.
We’ve put together a collection of our current London factory and warehouse conversions for sale. Each space tells a unique story, highlighting the dynamic shift in how we define home – a sophisticated blend of historical context and contemporary design that reflects modern urban living.
Canalside Warehouse Conversion
Limehouse Cut, or as it’s otherwise known, the Spratt’s Complex, is a formidable collection of Victorian warehouses that originally served as the production site and headquarters of The Spratt’s Patent Pet Food Company. The handsome industrial architecture managed to avoid both war damage and demolition, with a residential renaissance beginning in the mid-1980s. It’s arguably the first – or at the very least, one of London’s earliest – warehouse conversion developments to focus on creativity and the concept of living and working at home.
At nearly 1,700 sq. ft., there’s a lot of space to play with. It’s worth noting that, with a few interior adjustments, it would be possible to add three bedrooms in addition to the internal room currently used as a suite.
The current owner undertook a renovation around five years ago, interweaving as much modernity as possible without compromising the apartment’s authentic industrial heritage.
An Artists Live work Warehouse
There’s a Zen-like calm that begins the moment you close the solid, warehouse-style front door behind you. Each light-filled floor of the open-plan interior offers a minimalist contrast to the rugged industrial exterior.
The heart of this creative home is arguably the vast studio workshop on the ground floor. With over 700 sq. ft. of open space and generous ceiling heights peaking at around 11 ft, there’s more than enough room to settle into your artistic stride. Crisp white walls and a matt grey poured-concrete floor enhance the sense of calm and serenity.
At the front of the studio, an oversized set of industrial doors opens from the raised, tiled floor area onto the mews, allowing for easy loading and unloading of large works.

Victorian Charm in the Heart of Nunhead
“The Warehouse” is a detached Victorian gem, beautifully refurbished and rare for the area, tucked away on a quiet road in the heart of revitalised Nunhead.
Borland Road is a classic Victorian street dating back to the late 1880s. Approaching The Warehouse, you’ll notice how it stands out among a mix of traditional Victorian terraces and 1970s and 1980s purpose-built low-rise infills developed after the Second World War.
Step inside and the ground floor reveals a delightful, expansive space. It’s rare to find light flowing from every angle across an entire level – this thoughtful feature enhances the sense of space and light throughout.
Contrasting white and dark brickwork paired with natural grey floor tiles creates a peaceful, creative atmosphere. The free-flowing, open-plan layout retains a sense of intimacy, allowing you to divide the home flexibly to suit your lifestyle.

Riverside Warehouse
A wealth of original features has been preserved, including exposed brickwork, timber beams and industrial doors. Sympathetically converted in the early 1990s, these warehouses were originally used for the delivery and storage of goods arriving directly from docked ships through the loading doors.
