Bankstock Buildings, 42-44 De Beauvoir Crescent, Hackney, London, N1 5SB

A unique standout penthouse in the iconic Bankstock Buildings, this canal side luxury home offers a blend of Art Deco character, modern design, and sustainable living.

Set over the fourth and fifth floors of a reimagined 1930s warehouse designed by architect Robert Sharp, the apartment has been completely customised by the current owners, creating a flexible functioning layout.

Expansive floor-to-ceiling windows fill the home with light and frame views of the City skyline, rooftops, and the peaceful Regent’s Canal. A generous south-facing terrace adds valuable outdoor space for entertaining or a quiet morning coffee. The building, redesigned by Squire & Partners, stays true to its industrial roots while offering contemporary living.

Features include solar-assisted hot water, airtight insulation, triple-glazed windows, and a heat recovery ventilation system. There’s lift access, video entry, a high-pressure water system, pre-installed internet cabling, and secure bike storage.

Common areas draw on the building’s heritage with sand-blasted concrete, black zinc, and steel details. Residents also have direct access to the canal towpath, perfect for cycling or weekend walks.

Ideally located near Hoxton, Broadway Market, Shoreditch Park, and Upper Street, with Haggerston Station and several bus routes close by, this is an attractive home in one of East London’s most characterful neighbourhoods.
