Built in the early 1900s as a bookbinding warehouse on the edge of an iconic garden square.
These wonderfully spacious two-bedroom apartment on Barnsbury Square have been exquisitely realised in the recent redevelopment of a former bookbinding workshop. A blended palette of smooth wood and quartz paired with rough graphite and brush brass fittings establish a richly layered finish in both apartments. Wide warehouse windows and deep skylights cast beautiful, ever-changing shadows throughout each apartment as the sun tracks across the building. The restaurants, cafes, and independent shops of Highbury and Angel are a short walk away.
The Development
This wonderful collection of four apartments is set across the ground floor of a former bookbinder's workshop. The apartments each have different configurations, but they are united by the quality of light and materials that run throughout. There are two one-bedroom apartments and two two-bedroom apartments currently for sale. All have access to a courtyard garden or a balcony. Please see the floorplans for more detailed information.
The Tour
These two larger apartments are set at the rear of the building. Deep skylights and aluminium-framed windows draw light throughout the plans. Though varying in size and configuration, the two apartments share an immaculate finish.
Each apartment is centred around a large open-plan kitchen, living and dining space. In both, textured graphite kitchen cupboards are topped with sleek quartz and glazed tile splashbacks, adding depth and variety to the space. Kitchen islands provide sociable congregating points beneath elegant wooden pendant lights.
Distinct dining and seating areas have been designed into the apartments within the flowing layout of the central living rooms. In one of the apartments beautiful Crittall-style doors open to secluded courtyard with climbing ivy, perfect for enjoying a morning coffee.
The two double bedrooms in both apartments sit at the back of the plan, with dappled light pouring in through their large windows that frame leafy treetop views of neighbouring gardens. These are generously proportioned rooms with beautifully crafted wooden built-in wardrobes. Each apartment has two bathrooms, one en suite and a separate family bathroom off the hallway. Rich glazed tiles are accompanied by terrazzo details, brush brass orb lamps, and plenty of built-in storage.
Storage has been prioritised throughout the scheme. There are deep coat cupboards beside the entrance in each apartment, along with a sizeable utility room and more internal storage cupboards throughout. There is secure bike storage outside the building.
