_A stripped-back East End studio in a former dog food factory in London's Poplar

One bedroom flat on Morris Road, Poplar, London, E14, Guide price: £650,000

Soaked in light, this cavernous, pared-back studio apartment with a footprint of 127 sq m, voluminous ceiling heights and a private balcony offering incredible city views, is the focus of one of the most original listings to come to market through Knight Frank.

Shrugging off the identikit blueprint for studio flat interior design, internally, there is nothing flashy or overwhelming and it's here precisely where the studio's edgy, rustic charm lies; in its unapologetic 'make-under'.

Scaled-back materials ranging in texture, colour, surface and depth rub shoulder to create a striking and eclectic space that offers plenty of breathing room in a dramatic and industrial 'meatpacking district' setting.

As is typical in a factory conversion, there are plenty of industrial accoutrements including exposed brickwork, stone flooring, iron beams and Critall windows. 

Although the sheer volumes and raw materials are undoubtedly the stars of the show here, the vistas are a close second. From the second floor balcony, there are impressive, far-reaching views of Limehouse Cut and out towards the City. 

The apartment benefits from having a parking space and the building also houses a communal roof terrace with wonderful views.

Spratt's was the world's first large-scale manufacturer of dog biscuits launched in London circa 1860 in Poplar with the red brick factory facade still proudly bearing the name of its previous incarnation.
