"Contemporary and calm, this recently refurbished one bedroom flat offers a haven like hideaway amidst Islington s buzz, with a secluded split level garden that s all your own.

Brickworks Says Set on the lower ground floor of a small, modern building, this one bedroom flat has a stylish, streamlined vibe that makes clutter free living a breeze. Its recent renovation, in collaboration with SS4 Architects, has instilled the space with calm and clarity, creating a restful environment throughout. This has been achieved through the considered use of colour and materials, including bespoke plywood joinery creating sleek, satisfying storage right where it s needed most.

The split level garden terrace is in happy contrast to this home s minimalist aesthetic. Overlooked by both the open plan living room kitchen and the bedroom, it offers a private space to nurture through nature a boon for flat owners in London. It s the perfect spot for an outdoor breakfast without being overlooked or to gather with friends over long summer evenings.

This peaceful home is just a stone s throw from Islington s Upper Street, one of London s finest parades of shops, caf s, bars and restaurants. With cinemas, theatres, art galleries, antique markets and more all peppering this lively neighbourhood, you don t have to wander far for a tip top culture fix.

The Owners Say The flat is small, quiet and calming. Trees frame the upstairs terrace, making it feel like living on the edge of a wood. Birds sing, the leaves rustle; it s a wildlife haven in the middle of Islington. A diffused light fills it in winter, and the morning sun illuminates the living room in summer.

In order to bring nature into the flat, large sliding doors were fitted in the living room that look out onto the secluded courtyard. During the summer, I often work outside at the table. In the bedroom, a window seat looks out onto the same courtyard through an expansive window, which opens out for dreamy evenings.

The Legal Bit While we strive to create true to life photographs, floor plans and descriptions, our marketing material is only a guide. Purchasers should always visit in person, ask relevant questions and triple check details. Brickworks takes our duty of care incredibly seriously and takes all reasonable steps to ensure all presented information is correct. However, we sometimes rely on the accuracy of the information provided to us by the seller and others. Also, please note that we often round up down total floor plan measurements and or use approximate distances.
