The Indoors

The front door is clad with vertical laid birch faced ply and provides entry into the large hallway, terracotta tiles line the floor and an oak-fronted storage cupboard provides space for coats and shoes.

On the ground floor, on the right, is the garage/workshop. The floor is red-painted poured concrete, offering a contrast to the colour scheme in the rest of the house. The office/studio is at the front of the ground-floor plan, where the same terracotta as the hallway runs underfoot. A full-width built-in ply desk runs below the vast bank of glazing that looks out over Regent's Canal, offering another perfect backdrop for homeworking. A neat WC is also on this floor.

The oak staircase runs through the spine of the house and leads to the first floor, where the living spaces begin. Engineered oak flooring finished in a light wash runs underfoot, here, and throughout the majority of the house, adding textural warmth and maximising light welcomed in through the large windows. The living room is set at the front of the plan, with views over the canal framed by double folding doors that open to a Juliette balcony. The room is partly double-height with a meshed steel walkway overhead allowing light to flow from the floor above.

The dining area is a perfect entertaining space and is set in the middle of the plan between the kitchen and the double height living room. Wide oak double doors separate the spaces allowing them to be open-plan or closed off.

Above the living room, on the second floor, is a bright mezzanine, currently used as a useful office space. Here, a further set of double doors open over the canal, making it the perfect spot for working from home with a tranquil view. At the back of the plan on this floor is the bright en-suite main bedroom. Here, full-height oak-fronted fitted wardrobes add plenty of storage space, and large windows mean the room is incredibly light. The en suite is complimented with grey terrazzo tiles ground the area, and a walk-in shower is set behind a frameless glass screen, matching the minimalism found throughout the house.

On the third floor are two further bedrooms and a family bathroom. The simple aesthetic continues with white walls and engineered oak. The bathroom is again characterised by grey terrazzo, echoing the en suite. The terrazzo also wraps around the bath.
