Impeccably designed, this apartment sits on the first floor of a handsome Victorian terraced house in Kentish Town, north London. Renovated to the highest standard, this home showcases meticulous attention to detail throughout. With three expansive south-facing sash windows and lofty Victorian ceilings, the space is bathed in natural light, offering an airy and inviting atmosphere. Bespoke cabinetry, handcrafted by a skilled carpenter, provides seamless, made-to-measure storage, enhancing the clean and thoughtful design.

The Home

The apartment has been beautifully renovated with modern touches such as underfloor heating and a top-of-the-line Bosch kitchen, however the unique character of the building has been retained with traditional wide sash windows and the previously hidden fireplace once again revealed. Light floods the home, emphasising its tall proportions.

A short hall leads into a bright, open-plan living space. The exquisitely appointed kitchen takes centre stage, with an all Bosch fit-out including an integrated microwave, maximising valuable countertop space, and innovative slide-out shelving providing further storage. Floating shelves run across the kitchen over distinctive fish-scale tiling, with hidden lighting providing uniform illumination of the work surface.

On the other side is the living room, where the walls are finished with a chalky matt paint. Handmade floating shelves surround the old chimney breast and provide space for books and display - with the fireplace, exposed during the renovations and painted in a rich black gloss, presenting a natural focal point for the living area.

In the bedroom, luxurious carpet lies underfoot, with floor to ceiling wardrobes giving generous storage. Cleverly wall-hung bedside tables sit on either side of the king-size bed space.

Unusually for an apartment, there is a generously sized utility room with made-to-measure floor to ceiling storage including spaces for a separate washer and dryer. Hooks on both sides of the room provide space for bags and coats. Opposite the utility room is thoughtfully designed and handcrafted seating with further storage built in overhead.

Finishing with the bathroom, where underfloor heating and a dual-fuel heated towel rail provide ample warmth and rich multi-toned sea-green, emerald, and turquoise metro tiles sustain a peaceful feeling. There is a walk-in shower with dual shower heads, whilst made-to-measure shelving provides plenty of storage. Subtle, motion-activated, lighting illuminates recessed nooks in the shower and yields just enough light to see by at night, without being over bright.
