Industrial conversions offer the most precious commodities: space and volume. This East London warehouse conversion delivers both in spades, right in the heart of Shoreditch.

The Charlotte Road property spans an impressive 2,500 sq ft in the extremely coveted Shoreditch Triangle, famed for its boutique stores, bustling nightlife and coffee shop culture. Living spaces are spread across five levels, transforming what was once a historic furniture warehouse into a minimalist home with industrial features such as high raftered ceilings, steel beams, and lime-washed pine floors.

The two-bedroom home has an interesting arrangement, with the first and second floors completely open-plan, recalling the building’s warehouse past. They’re used as a large reception room, with a dining area and sitting room, while the second floor houses the kitchen, anchored by a colossal island. Steel worktops and bespoke oak cabinetry line the periphery, adding texture to the material palette.

Perhaps most rare of all is the amount of outdoor space on offer; a walled garden at the rear provides privacy, while a large roof terrace offers elevated views.

The top floor is reserved for the primary bedroom, as it is currently used. However, listing agents The Modern House suggest it would also make for an inspiring yoga studio or home office. The agency is marketing the East London warehouse property for £3.95m, freehold. Take a peek in the gallery.
