This two-bedroom raised ground floor apartment on the coveted Caversham Road in Kentish Town has been thoughtfully renovated by TAK. Benefitting from Victorian proportions, high ceilings, and original details, the contemporary additions further enhance the functionality and quality of the space. The home has a wonderful sense of flow; the entertaining space faces the street, while the private bedrooms overlook the large communal garden with mature trees at the rear. The owners are finalising the purchase of a share of the freehold.

The Tour 

Just off the vibrant and bustling Kentish Town Road lies the quiet and tree-lined Caversham Road, where this apartment is situated. Set back from the road behind two mature trees and a landscaped front garden, the front door is accessed by steps from the street. Entry is to a neat hallway.

The open-plan kitchen, living and dining room are on the right of the hallway. Tall ceilings and a protruding bay window with original shutters ensure natural light abounds. Built-in bookshelves and cabinetry provide useful storage space. A cast-iron fireplace with a marble mantelpiece offers a focal point in the room, punctuated by the original cornicing that runs along the perimeter of the ceiling.

Wooden floorboards abut geometric concrete tiles, demarcating the kitchen space. Here, appliances have been cleverly concealed behind pale blue/grey cabinetry. The backsplash and the countertop meet neatly and are formed of Caesarstone quartz; brass fittings are matched across the apartment, creating a quiet sense of cohesion.

The main bedroom has been designed with tranquillity in mind. Painted a pastel sage green, the palette borrows from the verdant garden beyond a large sash window, allowing light to pour in. Two bespoke wardrobes are nested into symmetrical nooks, and a matching vanity table adds a subtle elegance to the room.

The second bedroom also has garden views. Currently used as a study and guest accommodation, the space here has been cleverly utilised; a mezzanine area is the perfect spot for a double bed and provides built-in cabinetry, wardrobe and bookshelves underneath.

The bathroom is serene, with a large walk-in shower clad in white subway tiles. Brass fittings continue here, and two windows illuminate the room. Space in the hallway has been ingeniously maximised; storage is hidden in the lowered ceiling, and utilities are stowed under the communal staircase.

Outdoor Space

Nestled amongst lush neighbouring gardens, four apartments in this semi-detached house share the large communal garden. Mature trees are populated with local birds; there is a sitting area, fire pit, as well as a dining area, making it the perfect spot for breakfast or an alfresco dinner.

The Area 

Caversham Road is a leafy street in the heart of Kentish Town. The high street and surrounding area have much to offer regarding restaurants, cafés, and shops.
