Located on the ground floor of a former piano factory, this immaculate two-bedroom home forms part of Brinsmead Apartments, a wonderful building redesigned by Clive Sall Architecture (CSA) in 2015. The apartments are set behind secure gates within a short walk of the shops, bars and restaurants of Kentish Town. A secluded private entrance leads off a courtyard garden into bright living spaces.

The Tour

An industrial aesthetic has been preserved throughout the apartment’s interiors. Twelve-foot ceilings work wonderfully with Crittall windows and doors to accentuate volume and light, while engineered oak floorboards and sections of exposed brickwork offer a sense of warmth and intimacy.

Entry is gained at ground level via a private patio area adjoining a Victorian railway arch. A glazed Crittall door opens into the apartment which is configured in an open plan. Excellent levels of natural light pour across the kitchen, living and dining areas, care of four large, dual-aspect factory windows.

At the rear of the living space is a sleek kitchen with Corian worktops and modern appliances. Bespoke shelving sits to the side.

The main bedroom is at the end of the hallway and has the feeling of a suite. A walk-in wardrobe has been created through two long lines of bespoke cabinetry providing an abundance of storage. A strikingly large window casts light across the room, which is very generously proportioned. An en suite sits to the side and has a large free standing bath and separate shower. Twin sinks are in front of the large frosted window; mirrors and lights are suspended from the ceiling.

The second bedroom, currently a children’s room, is a good sized double with more built in storage. A second bathroom with a shower is next door.

Outdoor Space

The main living space opens to a private section of terrace. Bounded by the brickwork of the apartments to one side, and the railway sidings the other, this is a secluded space with plenty of room for a table chairs, along with planters.

The Area

There is plenty nearby. The Kentish Town Sports Centre and Talacre Community Sports Centre offer a wide variety of leisure activities, the Zabludowicz Collection hosts contemporary art installations in a former Methodist chapel, and the O2 Forum and the Roundhouse are among a number of outstanding local music venues.

The Collège Français Bilingue de Londres is a nearby private school which teaches the French curriculum. The peaceful open spaces of Primrose Hill, Regent’s Park and Hampstead Heath are close by.

Brinsmead Apartments are located on Ryland Road, a quiet residential street within walking distance of Kentish Town Underground station (Northern Line) and Kentish Town West Overground station, with quick access to St Pancras International. It is within easy reach of the shops, cafes and restaurants on the high street, and the nightlife of Chalk Farm and Camden Town.
