Positioned on the second floor of a quietly confident contemporary building overlooking the City Basin, this beautifully upgraded one-bedroom apartment offers approximately 475 sq ft of carefully curated living space where intelligent design, natural materials and light-filled proportions work in quiet harmony.<br/><br/>The heart of the home is a generous 16 ft wide open-plan reception and kitchen, providing excellent flexibility for living, dining and working. A bespoke Plykea kitchen, crafted in Formica and birch plywood, introduces furniture-grade joinery with integrated plywood drinks shelving and subtle inlay downlighting that creates a warm architectural glow throughout the space. The kitchen reads as a considered piece of design rather than conventional fitted cabinetry, sitting effortlessly within the room’s clean geometry.<br/><br/>New engineered timber flooring flows seamlessly through the apartment, reinforcing a sense of continuity and calm. The bedroom is well proportioned, comfortably accommodating a king size bed and benefiting from built-in wardrobe storage, while new carpet introduces softness and acoustic comfort.<br/><br/>The bathroom is crisp and contemporary, and additional hallway storage further enhances day-to-day practicality.<br/><br/>Residents enjoy access to excellent on-site amenities within the wider development, including concierge services, gym, swimming pool and spa, available via a modest monthly membership.<br/><br/>Ideally positioned between Angel and Old Street, the apartment sits at the convergence of Clerkenwell, Hoxton and Shoreditch offering immediate access to independent cafés, dining, culture and transport connections via the Northern Line and multiple bus routes into The City and West End.<br/><br/>A refined, design-led home ideal for buyers seeking architectural integrity, intelligent space planning and a genuine sense of place.
