Architecture & Interior Limehouse Cut, or as it’s otherwise known, the Spratts complex is a formidable looking collection of Victorian warehouses which initially served as production and HQ for, “The Spratts Patent Pet Food Company”. The handsome industrial architecture managed to avoid war damage and demolition during its lifetime with a residential renaissance starting in the mid 1980’s. It’s arguably the first or at the very least, one of London’s early warehouse conversion developments that focussed on creativity and the concept of living and working at home. At nearly 1700 Sq. Ft, there’s a lot of space to play with. It’s worth noting that with a few interior adjustment, it would be possible add three bedrooms in addition to the internal room currently being used a suite. The current owner undertook a project around five years ago to renovate the apartment inter-weaving as much modernity as possible without compromising its authentic industrial heritage. Both the original, warehouse front door and a separate set of restored, industrial double doors both sit next to a private parking space providing easy access to the apartment. Throwing open the solid double doors reveals a exceptionally well finished reception hall, full of industrial features, connecting all of the nicely sequenced and well proportioned rooms within the property. A self-contained, space sits immediately to the left as you step inside. Its appearance is that of a comfortable guest area which had been used previously to house visiting family and friends but would be just as comfortable serving a separate work area complete with its own kitchen and bathroom facilities. That said, a simple removal of some internal walls could open the space into the adjoining room creating one huge 12m long reception room. A second bedroom with an equally flawless finish, along with various deep storage cupboards and a utility room are found at various points along the hallway as you thread your way to the standout reception space. This expansive room with uninterrupted canal views is completely open plan incorporating living, dining and premium kitchen with central island, all of which delivers warehouse interior styling that embodies the exterior aesthetic. Swathes of warm wood flooring and a bounty of exposed brick work set off the lofty ambience along with a complete set of restored & now, double glazed, Crittall windows. Adjoining the reception, an interesting internal room occupies a substantial portion of the apartment. Beyond the internal frosted windows lies a quiet sanctuary that’s half room half bathroom. Divided by a Crittall style internal screened wall, the bathrooms industrial finish is exemplary, bespoke conduits, pipe work and sanitary ware all feature heavily creating a unique environment. In the Neighbourhood The Limehouse Cut serves as a gateway into London’s enchanting canal network—a liquid labyrinth of hidden history and quiet magic. Stroll, cycle, or wander its towpath eastward to where the waterway spills into the lively embrace of Limehouse Basin, joining the storied Regent’s Canal. Alternatively, drift westward past the cinematic grandeur of Three Mills Island—once a tidal mill, now a backdrop for silver-screen dreams—and onward to the Olympic Park’s soaring legacy. Here, the canal side pulses with the creative energy of Hackney Wick and Here East, where artisan breweries and avant-garde eateries hum with East London’s irrepressible verve.
