Architecture & interior

The Carlton Works is a fabulous piece of Victorian architecture which is rumoured to have been a perfume factory at one stage in its long life.

Dating back to the early twentieth century, the building is atypical of industrial architecture with high ceilings and Crittall windows throughout.

Set back from the road, the building is nestled away behind iron gates and has private parking in its courtyard.

Whilst the location is super central, it’s a quiet place to be at home. Located on the first floor, the cool open space offers a large open plan reception/live work area and feels remarkably tranquil. There’s a seperate double bedroom enjoyong that industrial aesthetic along with a bathroom.

The high ceilings, huge expanse of walls, big windows and white washed floors set the scene nicely and epitomize loft living.

Amongst the sea of regeneration it’s refreshing to see authentic industrial building surrounded by all the new developments.
