Built in 2005 to a design by the architect Charles Khoo of Progetti, this two-bedroom modern house is set back behind gates in a leafy neighbourhood of late Victorian houses.

The house is approached via security gates through a private cobbled front courtyard. Upon entering, there is a coat cupboard opposite the front door, and then a wonderfully bright open-plan reception / dining room / kitchen. This has two big windows, one full-height with a door to the courtyard, as well as a skylight over the middle of the space. It has an exposed brick wall, hardwood oak floor (with underfloor heating) and freestanding gas stove. Tucked away at the rear is a shower room with contemporary fittings and a travertine floor.

The sleeping accommodation is accessed via a staircase with a skylight above it and storage space beneath. There is a master bedroom with en-suite bathroom and access to a south-facing terrace overlooking a lovely mature tree, and a second double bedroom.

The house was built on the site of the historic stables of the large Victorian house adjacent. It is located at the apex of Carleton Road and St George’s Avenue, which is a no-through road, in the heart of the Tufnell Park Conservation Area. It is well located for access to Tufnell Park underground station. There are diverse local shopping facilities on the doorstep, including Waitrose on the Holloway Road, the local Farmers Market at the Tufnell Park Tavern and the many cafes and restaurants on Fortress Road. Kentish Town and the open spaces of Hampstead Heath are also within easy reach.
