Dickensian London meets Design-Led Living:
Waterside Apartment with Private Balcony and Stylish Interiors Hits the Market at £550k
Occupying a prime position on the third floor of Shad Thames’ St Saviours Wharf, one of London’s most desirable and deluxe waterfront Victorian warehouses, is a meticulously designed one-bedroom apartment, showcasing stunning dockside views from the vantage point of a substantial
private balcony.
On the market for £550,000 through leading London agents Anderson Rose, this modernised home presents an array of turnkey qualities and contemporary specifications, while still retaining an abundance of rich and characterful period features that epitomise the Dickensian essence of the surrounding St Saviour’s Dock.
With an extensive history dating as far back as the 13th century, Shad Thames was once home to London’s largest collection of industrial warehouses, largely developed over the course of the 16th to 19th centuries, and frequently nicknamed ‘the larder of London’ during the Victorian era, due to its large scale storage of pantry goods such as tea, coffee, spices, grain, and sugar.
Centuries later, this popular warehouse district remains connected to its vibrant past via the waterfront and docks, where merchants would once unload their ships and paddle their boats to unload their valuable cargo at its designated ‘Wharf’. St Saviour’s Wharf was primarily used for the storage of grain and flour, catering to a neighbouring flour mill at New Concordia Wharf, a long-standing traditional milling site that was initially founded during the Middle Ages.
The available apartment at St Saviour’s Wharf poses as a fine, classic warehouse one-bedroom apartment found in Shad Thames, boasting stylish interiors and a generously sized living room and bedroom. A south-easterly facing balcony with direct views onto the water is accessed from the living room. The bedroom offers ample room for storage solutions and wardrobe space, and features a statement Crittall window, drenching the space in daylight while elevating the home’s refined, spacious and airy atmosphere.
The home is equipped with a modern tiled bathroom, as well as a recently fitted kitchen featuring seamlessly integrated appliances. Other amenities include a separate storage cupboard and access to an allocated secure parking space within an on-site parking garage. Residents of St Saviour’s Wharf are also looked after by exceptional daytime concierge services.
Robin Chalk, Head of Sales at Tower Bridge for Anderson Rose, comments:
