Property description
A truly impressive three bedroom live/work property to rent in Ability Plaza, offering an exceptional amount of space, distinctive loft-style character and flexible accommodation within this striking former commercial-style building on Kingsland Road.
The property immediately stands apart for its sheer scale and unusual proportions, with an expansive principal living space providing considerable room for separate lounge, dining and working areas. Large industrial-style windows allow excellent natural light to enter the apartment, while exposed structural elements, visible conduit work and broad open spaces reinforce the authentic loft aesthetic.
The main living accommodation incorporates a substantial open-plan fitted kitchen, featuring extensive cabinetry, plentiful worktop space and integrated appliances while remaining comfortably proportioned against the size of the reception room.
One of the property's defining characteristics is its split-level arrangement. An impressive upper-level/mezzanine area overlooks part of the accommodation below and creates an additional large and versatile space ideally suited to working from home, a studio, secondary reception, creative workspace or further recreational area.
The property provides three generously proportioned bedrooms, each benefiting from the same sense of width and volume found throughout the apartment. Their neutral decoration and substantial floor areas provide plenty of flexibility for wardrobes, desks and additional furnishings.
The bathroom is fully tiled and particularly spacious, incorporating a full-size bath with shower attachment, contemporary basin and WC.
Throughout, the combination of large windows, extensive floor space, exposed architectural detailing and open-plan proportions gives the apartment a distinctive warehouse-inspired identity that is increasingly difficult to find in this part of East London.
Ability Plaza occupies an excellent position on Kingsland Road, placing the property within easy reach of Haggerston, Dalston, Hoxton and Shoreditch, together with the area's extensive selection of independent restaurants, cafés, bars and amenities.
This is an unusual opportunity for occupiers requiring a genuine home and working environment within one substantial property, particularly those looking for significantly more usable space than would normally be available from a conventional three bedroom apartment.
Important Live/Work Lease Information
The building in which the Property is located has a designated Live/Work planning use. A Live/Work property is designed to allow the space to be used simultaneously as a home as well as a base from which to undertake work. Working from the Property is a mandatory requirement, and using the flat exclusively for residential use is not permitted.
The Live/Work Lease that governs the tenancy is a combination of both residential and commercial use.
As such, the Live/Work Lease is not the same as an Assured Periodic Tenancy or the former Assured Shorthold Tenancy structure applicable to purely residential occupation. It does not fall within the Housing Act 1988 assured-tenancy regime and therefore does not benefit from the statutory protections applicable to an assured residential tenancy, including the usual tenancy-deposit protection requirements.
The Renters' Rights Act 2025, including the residential tenancy reforms introduced from 1 May 2026, applies to assured tenancies in the private rented sector. A genuine business tenancy is excluded from the assured periodic tenancy regime. The Live/Work Lease may instead fall within the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954.
The provisions of Sections 24 to 28 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954 will be excluded in relation to the tenancy. The prospective tenant will be provided with the appropriate Notice under the Regulatory Reform (Business Tenancies) (England and Wales) Order 2003. Contracting out of the security-of-tenure provisions means the tenant will not have the ordinary statutory right to renew the business lease at the end of the contractual term.
Before the start of the Lease, the tenant will also need to sign the required Statutory Declaration, which must be witnessed by a solicitor or other person authorised to administer oaths. Prospective tenants should obtain their own independent legal advice regarding the nature and implications of the Live/Work Lease before entering into the tenancy.
