This wonderful two bedroom home is situated on a quiet street, directly opposite St James’ Church and gardens. A unique opportunity to live in a home that has been renovated with great skill by the design-obsessed owners. The property is furnished with a mixture of iconic mid-century pieces, and contemporary fittings have been installed by leading architects and designers.
The front door opens onto a wide hallway, around which the reception room, dining room, and kitchen are arranged. Hardwood floors run underfoot. The open plan reception room occupies the front of the house. Dual-aspect sash windows flood this room with natural light. The dining table and chairs, designed by Robert Haussmann and Alvar Aalto, make it an impressive space for entertaining.
At the rear of the ground floor is the neatly arranged kitchen with bespoke fittings made by the design collective Arquitectura-G. A raised walkway leads to the back garden. The poured concrete steps, designed by Dyvik Kahlen Architects, cleverly juxtapose the mass of verdant palm trees.
Upstairs, the peaceful master bedroom has views over the church and green space. The floor-to-ceiling fitted wardrobes, complete with unique ceramic handles designed by Assemble Architects, provide masses of storage. The second light-rich bedroom has views over the garden and Islington’s chimney stacks, and also benefits from an abundance of cleverly designed storage. Both bedrooms are finished beautifully with wool curtains by Bouroullec brothers for Kvadrat.
Designed by Haptic Architects with functionality in mind, the pared-back family bathroom is fitted with a large bathtub, dual-function shower, and double sink. Bespoke cabinetry and stainless steel fittings complete this room.
Prebend Street is very picturesque, surrounded by some of Islington’s prettiest squares and gardens. Just across the road is the much loved bakery and coffee shop Pophams. The area is well served by buses running into central London. All of the amenities and transport links at Angel are a ten minute walk.
