From the Agent: "This considered three-bedroom house occupies an enviable canalside location on Union Wharf in Islington. A rare, modern conception, the house is arranged on three floors and was converted from a light industrial warehouse in 2001. The house has private access to the Regent’s Canal towpath and is crowned by a sunroom on the private south-east facing roof terrace, which has far-reaching views along the water. Despite its peaceful setting, it is a short walk from the vibrant shops and restaurants of coveted Upper Street, Angel, and Clerkenwell."
