East London, London £625,000 Share of Freehold Corsair House Tis refned two-bedroom apartment forms part of Grade- II listed Burrells Wharf, a handsome former factory on the Isle of Dogs in East London. Internal accommodation extends to 955 sq ft, and the elegant internal spaces employ a sophisticated approach to warehouse aesthetics, with dramatic high ceilings, exposed brickwork and large wood- framed original doors. Burrells Wharf was built as a shipyard in the 19th century and as such is positioned directly on the banks of the Tames. It was later used as a factory, and its dramatic industrial proportions have been sensitively converted into a group of apartments, with extensive communal gardens overlooking the river. Tere are barbeque facilities, a residents’ swimming pool and gym, as well as a function room that can be hired for private events. Tis apartment also has a covered car parking space. +44 (0)20 3795 5920 themodernhouse.com [email protected] Corsair House Te estate grounds are gated, and this apartment is approached via a cobbled mews, private and quiet in its setting.

Tis part of London was an important centre of iron shipbuilding from the mid-1830s onwards. Burrells Wharf is notable as it was used to build complete ships, that could foat straight out onto the Tames. Some of the timber launch site, used to launch the largest ship of that time the SS Great Eastern, remains at Napier Avenue. Corsair House is positioned in a quiet corner of Burrells Wharf. Te former shipyard occupies a tranquil bend on the Tames with expansive views across the river to Greenwich (accessible via the foot tunnel in twenty minutes) and regular Clippers into the city via the nearby Mast House Terrace Pier.
