BRICKWORKS SAY

As you approach this beautiful Victorian terrace, you notice its cast iron railings and statuesque frontage, entirely in keeping with the rest of the conservation area in this coveted part of Kentish Town. Inside are plenty of pleasing original features, such as the large sash windows that bathe the rooms in light and an eye-catching fireplace in the large living room.

The whole flat has a welcoming feel thanks to carefully chosen design details. The bright and modern kitchen has a splash of Mediterranean blue, and the family-sized bathroom features a double sink – so often the key to happy co-living! The bedrooms brim with taste and character, and the arrangement of the flat over three floors only enhances the sense of space. When you crave a bigger expanse, head outside to the sun-trap roof terrace to take in the city's skyline.

Grafton Road lies in a picturesque spot between Kentish Town, Camden and Primrose Hill, with all those distinct neighbourhoods have to offer close at hand. Locally the array of deliciously international restaurants, cafes for coffee lovers and breweries for those who take their beer seriously should be enough to keep you busy. But you don't have to stray too far to enjoy the delights of nearby neighbourhoods or the green pastures of Regents Park, Primrose Hill and Hampstead Heath.

THE OWNER SAYS

We fell in love with the unique set-up of the property – each room is light-flooded and we love opening all the windows to have a fresh breeze going through the house on warm days. The flat feels airy and spacious and the roof terrace offers a beautiful green space in the middle of the city.

We enjoy strolling across to Camden market, Hampstead Heath or Regent's Park, which are all within walking distance. There are great places nearby to go for a coffee or a meal. We particularly love the cosy Curzon cinema, a meander along the canal and having music venues right on our doorstep.
