A Warm Ground Floor Apartment with Reclaimed Materials

The ground floor of a Victorian house in North London is home to a spacious two-bedroom apartment with interconnecting rooms, a charming walnut kitchen, original features, and a garden.

Original architectural features like the cornicing, box sash windows, and pitch pine floorboards have been preserved, and contemporary design elements were added, such as a new dark green bathroom, a walnut kitchen, and a Farrow and Ball color scheme. Reclaimed features, which add to the original elements and contemporary design, give this home a unique look.

A semi-open plan space at the back of the house houses the living room and kitchen, which has access to the garden through the door set in a tripartite bay.

The room is decorated in a light color scheme which highlights the beautiful period features in this space and the tiled period fireplace with marble surround adds extra character.

The kitchen island and breakfast bar separate the kitchen from the living room. The kitchen is designed by the current owners, who are restauranteurs/chefs. The walnut cabinets are paired with marble worktops.

A wide opening and one step down from the kitchen lies a spacious utility room with classic white tiles, shelves, and a washing machine. From this utility room, you can enter the new dark green bathroom.

The bathroom is designed with glossy dark green tiles paired with brass hardware. The large picture window makes it a spacious and bright space instead of gloomy.

A pair of reclaimed steel doors separate the second bedroom with the utility room.

The small bedroom is painted in the warm mushroomy shade of ‘Smoked Trout’.

The hallway is painted in a warm shade called ‘French Grey‘ and features a reclaimed French mirrored frame.

The master bedroom is located at the front of the house and features a fireplace and double sash bay windows. The wall are painted in ‘Wevet’ by Farrow and Ball.

The house is listed for sale at Inigo.
