Set in an exceptionally central location it is a new build house fronting Upper Street between Barnsbury Street and Waterloo Terrace. This elegant house has the most discreet entrance, not visible from the street, but is approached by the lane behind the Upper Street Aria shop. Glimpses of the distinctive interior treatment are visible from the courtyard through the sculptural folded forms of the oak windows. Copper rainwater goods and brown brindle engineering bricks complement the no-nonsense existing fletton brickwork, chosen for durability. The full triple height volume is apparent with views to the frameless skylight 9 m above. A refined and pared back palette of solid douglas fir and white steel makes for a dramatic effect. The white steel continues throughout the house with bespoke winding staircase cantilevered from the main structural beams. A cedar clad central patio is accessible from the reception and minimal Corian kitchen. Californian redwood has been used for the terrace benches and the green roof and planting brings nature to the roof. The accommodation is fluid with the opportunity of having four bedrooms, study and three bathrooms or the potential of fewer bedrooms but more reception space, office and/or gym. The property is in immaculate condition throughout with brand new fixtures, fittings and appliances and is offered on a fully furnished basis. A rare opportunity to rent a unique townhouse in an excellent Islington spot! Lucy Whistler Property agent
