Loft -House for Sale and Rent in London, Islington, UK

Spectacular London Loft-House

This place is huge. Almost 5,000 square feet(450+sm). But the exterior of this secure and understated North London freehold gives very little of that away.

Is it a commercial lock - up - and - leave or an ultra discreet residence?
In fact it's both if you want it to be. This property is the ultimate London live/work. For a designer, photographer, internet entrepeneur or indeed anyone who wants to live above the shop, or just needs superb, flexible accommodation, it's ideal.

It may be unobtrusive outside but this conceals and protects a stunning interior; understated luxury over three floors. This is a true 'Stealth House.'

On the lower ground floor there's nearly 1500 square feet.
This floor's partly double height and open plan. It could be an office/den/showroom/home cinema/whatever. There's plenty of storage, a bathroom with Starck fittings, and solid mahogany strip flooring thoughout . There are 4 stunning cast iron pillars on this floor – a reminder of the building's 100 year old commercial origins. This is a very cool room, large, quiet and restful.

The ground floor has a Yorkshire stone floor hallway/ room leading to a raised area finished in huge Golden Burmese Teak boards. There is a kitchen area off with a granite preparation area, leading to a designer bathroom in green slate. It has a walk-in bath, also in slate, which doubles as a 'wet-room' style shower. The ground floor itself is just stunning. High ceilings a feature curved wall and a rare unusual floor. It would make a superb reception area/ power office or showroom. Ideal for a creative type business.

Upstairs the visitor is again struck by the superb specification:solid mahogany floors throughout; Discreet use of striking black marble and teak in the living areas; more York stone, granite and mahogany in the bathroom and dressing room. On this third level there are two clear bedrooms with the potential for a third guest bedroom in the semi-open plan Mezzanine overlooking the main room. The main room itself is double height plus and flooded with light from the glass roof lights above. From this huge fan-cooled room, you pass through a marble wall to a generous dressing room with a bathroom beyond. This has a huge walk – in shower a guneuine Jacuzzi bath; more Starck fittings. Also in this area, a large roof terrace and upstairs another bedroom with good views.

The whole property has a fresh air system (air replaced automatically every 24 hours) Hard-wired fire alarm system, central heating, video entryphone, and a garage with remote controlled door. The roof terrace is south facing. It’s six or seven minutes walk to the nearest tube on the Piccadilly line. A Waitrose store is even nearer.

It's twenty five minutes walk to Hampstead Heath and a half hour stroll to Regents Park. This stunning and unique property forms part of a substantial former commercial/ industrial building.

If you need to be in London and you also need serious amounts of space sympathetically arranged, then this striking, suberb value property is for you.
