2 bed Flat For Sale £775,000
This wonderfully bright two-bedroom apartment is situated on the top floor of a Grade II listed former inn on North Road, which lies in between Camden, Holloway and Islington. With double-height ceilings in the living room and a balcony off the main bedroom, the modern interventions quietly unfold behind a handsome Victorian façade. The crisp interior palette is offset by sections of bare brick and exposed ceiling beams, which hark back to the building’s former use.
The Tour
The spacious apartment unfolds over the third floor of a handsome converted inn. Access is through a light grey entrance door off Drovers Way, which opens into a communal hallway that paves the way to the apartment.
Sympathetically renovated with a pared-back aesthetic and neutral palette, the space is characterised by its sense of volume and light. Engineered flooring runs throughout and white walls have been sensitively juxtaposed with sections of exposed brick, as well as exposed ceiling beams and trusses in a striking black. The double-height living room has a wonderful flow of natural light, which is welcomed in through arched sash windows on two elevations.
The kitchen occupies the space behind the living room, where dark grey worktops and a dark radiator provide a pleasing contrast to the white walls. A window at one end of the room casts generous levels of natural light over the space.
The bright atmosphere continues in the double aspect main bedroom, where light enters via windows to both the south-east and easterly aspects, refracting off the white walls to create a thoroughly peaceful space. Loft storage is accessible through the utility cupboard here. The second bedroom is finished in a rich green and provides a warm counterpoint to the crisp palette elsewhere. Used as a guest room or office space as the need arises, there is a dark cast-iron radiator, a tall sash window to the eastern elevation with timber panelling beneath, and a spacious wardrobe with oak veneer doors.
The sleek bathroom has underfloor heating and a walk-in shower, hidden by a floor-to-ceiling screen of obscured glazing. Ceramic wall tiles in a gentle cream clad the lower sections of wall, while bare plaster has been used above and for the ceiling.
Outdoor Space
A balcony runs along the rear elevation and is accessed through a glazed door off the main bedroom. There is plenty of room for alfresco dining and the space has far-reaching views across London, past the Grade II* listed Clock Tower that is the focal point of nearby Caledonian Park.
The Area
The apartment is conveniently located a 20-minute walk from King’s Cross, Camden and Kentish Town, and is perfectly situated to enjoy the plethora of shops, bars, and restaurants that exist around each destination. Granary Square at King’s Cross is a short walk to the south, home to a magnificent public square with choreographed fountains and restaurants including Caravan, Vinoteca, Dishoom, Granger & Co, plus shops A.P.C, cos and Wolf & Badger.
Nearby Caledonian Park has a café, woodland and meadow areas, community gardens and an orchard, offering a verdant oasis within a two-minute walk of Lion Apartments. Immediately to the southeast of Caledonian Park is Market Square Gardens, where brick paths wind around a circular lawn and rose pergola; the gardens were re-landscaped in 1990 but retain many of their 19th-century plane trees.
The apartment is within easy reach of Caledonian Road and Barnsbury Overground stations. King’s Cross Station is also close by, providing railway connections nationwide, and served by Hammersmith & City, Circle, Victoria, Northern, Piccadilly and Metropolitan underground lines. St Pancras International station provides Eurostar connections to Paris and Brussels.
