Ivory House, St. Katherine Docks E1 - Riverside living at its absolute best
We’ve been hugely privileged to be instructed on the sale of this exceeding rare and beautiful 300 square metre lateral riverside apartment set on the second floor of Ivory House, St. Katherine Docks - a landmark warehouse conversion, right in the heart of London.
Originally two flats, the property has been expertly combined to offer substantial living and entertaining space for a couple, or as an unusual opportunity to find a five bedroom family dockside residence.
Immaculately presented throughout, the property exudes character, from its exposed brickwork to the polished stone floors. Of the many features, the large triple aspect Reception overlooking the marina and the substantial covered terrace stand out. The docks have 24 hour security with the building benefiting from a lift and day porterage. Underground parking opposite is available by separate negotiation.
Built in 1852, Ivory House is a handsome converted warehouse, centrally located within the yacht haven of St. Katharine Docks, central London’s only marina. It was originally designed by Sir Robert Telford and used as a warehouse for luxury goods including ivory, silk and feathers and other trade goods coming into London from Africa, the West Indies and the Far East. The building was transformed into residential apartments by the mid twentieth century.
The immediate historic area is a fashionable home to a wide range of amenities including many cafes and restaurants and benefits from a Waitrose close by in Thomas More Street. The recent renovation of the marina in 2017 has evolved into a thriving waterside community featuring 185 berths in three basins, for vessels up to 40m long, as a visitor or on long-term berth contracts.
The marina offers outstanding facilities and services along with a social calendar of enjoyable nautical events and all-year-round activities. Its tranquil, laid-back character is a welcome contrast from nearby attractions like the Tower of London, Tower Bridge, Bank of England and The Monument; not to mention the renowned business districts around Moorgate and across the river at London Bridge.
