The Jam Factory in Bermondsey, London, is an award-winning industrial conversion. The former Hartley's jam factory (built in 1890) once employed over 2,000 people at the height of its production.
The factory was converted into high-end apartments in 2003, and there are now over 200 homes in the 4 buildings of the sought-after Jam Factory complex. The imposing buildings and towering chimney, all still bearing the Hartley name, now stand within landscaped communal courtyard gardens with gated entry. There is a 24-hour concierge service and secure underground residents' parking.
This apartment is set on the ground floor, and is one of only a small number of properties within the Jam Factory to benefit from a private front door, rather than a communal entrance. At over 1100 square feet, it is a particularly spacious 2-bedroom apartment and offers an appealing combination of industrial features and cool contemporary style.
Wall-to-wall windows flood the living area with natural light and offer an attractive outlook onto a large courtyard garden between the buildings. The open-plan kitchen is stylishly presented and an ideal space for entertaining, with an adjacent dining area decorated by the current owner with an eye-catching feature wallpaper.
There are two well-presented double bedrooms. One features a sleek en-suite shower room. The second bedroom can be readily adapted for use as a bedroom cum home office. The spacious guest bathroom includes a bath.
The Jam Factory offers the best in New York style loft living. But residents really value the strong sense of community offered by the Jam Factory too.
