Coleman Fields, Islington London, N1

Occupying a distinguished end-of-terrace position on a quiet street in the Arlington Conservation Area in Islington, this elegant two-bedroom Victorian house thoughtfully balances its architectural heritage with beautiful contemporary interventions. Set across three floors, the home is defined by elegant period details and an exceptional quality of light throughout.

Set back from the tree-lined street, the house's traditional London stock brick façade is punctuated by stucco detailing. The entrance is via the raised ground floor, where the hallway leads to dual-aspect reception rooms. Here, tall sash windows, flanked by original shutters, frame leafy views while drawing light deep into the space, accentuating the original cornicing, panelled doors and timber floors. A family bathroom is also positioned on this level discreetly tucked away, yet easily accessible.

On the lower ground floor, a bright and beautifully crafted kitchen and dining room opens onto a rear garden. The shaker-style teal kitchen, handmade by a local joiner, is complemented by a light quartz worktop. A Rangemaster cooker and a wood-burning stove anchors the space with character and charm. A dedicated utility room is tucked away at the front of the plan, as well as two original vaults and a large outdoor storage area. The enclosed rear garden extends seamlessly from the dining area and is a private, low-maintenance space ideal for an early evening spritz or relaxed alfresco suppers.

The first floor is given over to two generous double bedrooms, each with original wardrobes, fireplaces and a calming neutral palette. A few steps lead up to a second bathroom, thoughtfully finished with refined detailing.
