Description
The Tour
The building is archetypal of the Victorian industrial vernacular, with warm brick punctuated by wide Crittall windows. The apartment is on the first floor and accessed via lift. Inside, the main living space has dramatic, lofty ceilings and plenty of built-in storage. Natural light casts striking shadows across a confluence of exposed brick and fresh white walls. Oriented on an east-west axis, the apartment is doused in light at all times of day.
The living room has distinct zones for dining and relaxing, demarcated by the two ceiling-high Crittall windows. On one end of the living space are built-in shelves extending from floor to ceiling, perfect for storing books or records. Smart engineered oak flooring extends throughout the space, creating a contemporary and communicative feel between rooms.
The sleek kitchen has a clean, white palette with plenty of storage and an ingenious use of space for countertop seating and bar area.
The main bedroom is dual-aspect and wonderfully spacious. A run of full-height, built-in wardrobes flow along one side, and glazed doors open out onto a Juliet balcony. The second double bedroom also functions well as a study and has the perky addition of a magnetic wall, ideal for attaching cards and posters without the need for screws. The bathroom has a playful finish, with colourful terrazzo floor tiling and a rain-style shower head.
