1 bed Flat For Sale £450,000
Excellently positioned between Kings Cross, Camden, Kentish Town and Angel, this one-bedroom apartment has been sensitively updated by the current owners. It lies on the second floor of a Victorian building, and retains original features including generous sash windows and exposed floorboards. Caledonian Park and Whittington Park are close at hand, while the large green space of Hampstead Heath lies slightly further afield.
The Tour
The front door to the building is tucked discreetly adjacent to an antique picture framers' workshop. A communal staircase ascends to the second floor, where the apartment's front door opens to a lateral hallway that connects the interior spaces.
Situated at the front of the plan, the living room is characterised by two large sash windows that allow natural light to flood into the space. Original floorboards have been carefully exposed and restored, adding a subtle texture against the matte walls, painted in a dark grey to the dado rail and a lighter grey above; a white ceiling decorated with original cornicing ensures the room retains a sense of brightness. An ornate, white-painted fireplace provides a smart focal point to the room.
A galley kitchen lies in the middle of the plan, making clever use of space. Black cabinetry creates a contemporary aesthetic, with j-groove handles adding sophisticated flair; the pocket door has satin stainless steel handles. Ample storage is concealed within the cabinetry, which is also home to integrated appliances including a Samsung induction hob. A large sash window positioned above the sink frames views over neighbouring gardens below.
The hallway leads to the bedroom at the far end, which is accessed down a short set of steps. This is a peaceful, enveloping space with a navy blue ceiling and tropical-themed wallpaper on the rear wall. Built-in, bespoke Valchromat joinery creates a walk-in wardrobe with plenty of storage. The bathroom has been decorated in a simple combination of white tiles and black paint, with Moroccan-inspired blue and white tiles lining the shower area.
The Area
The apartment is conveniently located between Kings Cross, Camden, Kentish Town and Angel, so is perfectly situated to capitalise on the plethora of shops, bars, and restaurants that exist around each area. Kentish Town Road and Fortress Road have an excellent selection of independent butchers, grocers and restaurants. Neighbourhood favourites include Phoenicia Food Hall, Gail’s, Kami, Salvino, Anima e Cuore and Bread by Bike. There are excellent pubs in the area, including The Bull & Last, The Pineapple, The Southampton Arms and The Lord Stanley.
Granary Square at Kings 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.
Parliament Hill and Hampstead Heath are around a 30-minute walk from Brecknock Road, providing a wild expanse of green space surrounded by the much-loved neighbourhoods of Hampstead and Highgate. Closer at hand are Caledonian Park and Whittington Park, which both make excellent spots for a morning walk.
Kentish Town (Northern Line and Thameslink) and Tufnell Park (Northern Line) are both around a six-minute walk away. Kings Cross Station is a 30-minute walk away, providing railway connections nationwide and served by Hammersmith and City, Circle, Victoria, Northern, Piccadilly and Metropolitan underground lines; while St Pancras International station provides Eurostar connections to Paris and Brussels.
