York Way, London N7

This immaculate ground-floor apartment in Camden has been meticulously renovated under its current ownership. It sits within a brick-fronted Victorian building and has a smart paved garden at the rear. Inside, its rooms are minimal, bright and private, and have been finished with a beautiful selection of materials. Granary Square and Coal Drops Yard are a short walk away, as are Angel and Kentish Town.

The Tour

Unfolding within a handsome Victorian house, the apartment is back from the road behind a brick parapet wall and a tree which provide privacy from the street. A timber door opens into an elegant entrance hallway with bespoke storage and a cleverly concealed workspace pod.

The apartment has been renovated to a high standard, replacing all the windows and taking the walls back to bare brick. Insulation and sound-proofing were added during the process, ensuring crisp sharp walls and a quiet, warm atmosphere. Below white-painted walls, an oak herringbone floor spreads out, creating a sense of cohesiveness across the plan.

The pared-back living room lies at the front of the plan. It has a series of refined touches, including steel column radiators below original shutters also fitted with bespoke blinds and cabinetry fitted in the alcoves. There is plenty of space here for a dining table as well as a large sofa to curl up with a book.

At the rear of the plan is a monochromatic kitchen. A simple run of near black cabinetry with integrated appliances is echoed with a charcoal grey worktop. A breakfast bar doubles up as a working-from-home desk on the opposite wall, which also has recessed storage. A door from the kitchen leads out to the garden. There is a utility area to the rear of the plan, where the smart bathroom also lies.

The bedroom has views along the west-facing side return. The original working shutters remain here too, allowing for privacy when required. Bespoke cabinetry includes display shelving and a beautiful oak wardrobe.

Outdoor Space

The side return leads to a private garden; west-facing and with ambient lighting it is the perfect spot for outdoor yoga and evening hosting. There is lots of space for planting and pots as well as a dining table and sun loungers.

The Area

The apartment is conveniently located between King's Cross, Camden, Kentish Town and Angel, so is perfectly situated to capitalise on the plethora of shops, bars, and restaurants that exist around each destination. The delicious smell of roasting coffee fills the air from nearby Caravan Lambworks Coffee Roastery Brewbar. There are several brilliant pubs within easy reach, including The Lord Stanley and the Rose and Crown, as well as Half Cut Market. Cafe Bread by Bike and Salvino Deli are both well frequented by locals in Brecknock Road.

Granary Square at King's Cross is a short walk to the south, home to a magnificent public square with choreographed fountains and restaurants including Caravan, Vinoteca, Dishoom and Granger & Co. Neighbouring Coal Drops Yard includes retailers Margaret Howell, Tom Dixon and Aesop stores to the canal-side. An Everyman Cinema caters for confirmed cinephiles.

The nearest green space is a couple of minutes away at Caledonian Park with woodland and its magnificent 19th-century clocktower. For the actively minded, Market Road Tennis Centre lies opposite the park, adjacent to Market Road football pitches.

Transport links are excellent; Caledonian Road (Piccadilly) and Caledonian & Barnsbury (Mildmay) can be reached in under 10 minutes on foot. King's Cross Station is a 15-minute walk away, providing railway connections nationwide; it is also served by Hammersmith and City, Circle, Victoria, Northern, Piccadilly and Metropolitan Underground lines. Neighbouring St Pancras International provides Eurostar connections to Paris and Brussels.
