1 bedroom Apartment in N1
Property Details
Canal Building, 135 Shepherdess Walk, N1
First time to market in over 25 years, a rare opportunity to acquire one of the largest one-bedroom warehouse apartments within the iconic Canal Building. The property has remained in the same ownership since new, making this a genuinely scarce offering within the development.
Positioned on the first floor, this exceptional apartment offers volumes rarely found in London, with scale comparable to many three-bedroom homes. Soaring ceiling heights in excess of 3.2 metres, combined with expansive proportions throughout, create a sense of space and openness that is both impressive and highly functional.
At the centre of the home is a substantial open-plan living and entertaining space, where the kitchen integrates seamlessly into a vast reception area. A run of large industrial-style (Crittall-style) windows spans the width of the apartment, drawing in an abundance of natural light and reinforcing the building’s authentic warehouse character.
The apartment enjoys a bright, open outlook towards the canal and along Shepherdess Walk, a quiet no-through road, offering a rare balance of tranquillity and city connectivity.

The Building
The Canal Building is a landmark former 1930s Art Deco warehouse, originally designed for canal-side manufacturing, storage and trade along Regent’s Canal. Its industrial heritage is still evident today, with expansive proportions, high ceilings and large metal-framed (Crittall-style) windows. Converted in the late 1990s as one of East London’s earliest warehouse developments, the building remains a benchmark for authentic loft living.
