Wharf Road, Islington N1

This loft sits on the fourth floor of a former piano warehouse, converted in the late 1990s and one of the few buildings on Wharf Road that kept its original brick and steel windows inside. The flat runs the full width of the building, so the main living space has windows on two sides.

A single open-plan room of more than forty square metres takes the kitchen, dining and living areas, with a dark handleless kitchen along one wall. Both bedrooms have their own bathroom, and the principal bedroom has space for a desk by the window.

The building has a lift, a concierge on weekdays, secure bike storage and a shared roof terrace. The lease has 989 years remaining, and the service charge is around £3,900 a year.
