Description
The Tour
Stavordale Road forms part of the smart streets of Victorian and Edwardian terraced houses that run from Highbury Fields north towards Highbury Square. Lined with mature trees and notably quiet, the area is known for its access to open spaces and parks, as well as a burgeoning café scene.
This apartment is set on the first floor of a building at the southern end of the road, its sash windows currently adorned with window boxes spilling out with flowers. A communal stairwell leads from the ground floor to the entrance to this apartment; the front door is painted bubblegum pink. A central corridor houses a large store cupboard and links the living spaces on the right of the plan to the bedroom on the left.
The kitchen is arranged at the eastern side of the living space; a butler sink sits under the window to catch the morning rays. This room was completely renovated by the current owner, and a new kitchen by InJoinery in a deep yellow is set under Carrara marble countertops and encompasses a freestanding stainless steel Smeg cooker while the other appliances and storage is concealed. The space has a natural delineation care of the chimney breast, and the other side of the room has been fitted with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves aside space for the sofa. Reclaimed Victorian Baltic pine floorboards from LASSCO run throughout and have been washed with white oil to create a lovely pale hue. These contrast with the warm tones of the stripped doors and harmonise with Farrow & Ball’s Slipper Satin used on the walls.
The bathroom is at the centre of the floorplan. The façade of the house is set with three large original sash windows, one of which ensures that this room is full of natural light. Across the hall, the current owner removed a partition wall to open two smaller bedrooms into one large space with room enough for a desk. Bespoke birch-faced plywood joinery fills the recesses on either side of the chimney breast to create useful storage and display shelves. There is a prevailing sense of calm throughout the apartment, with every window framing views over the neighbouring treetops.
