A two-bedroom home with plenty of creative flair.
A converted 19th-century artist studio with a dramatic sense of height.
Once upon a time, England's Lane and its surrounding neighbourhood was a favoured haunt for artists –
lending it the name ‘Little Florence’. Now it’s a striking light-filled house
thanks to the architects at Chassay + Last.
As you enter, floor-to-ceiling glazing
lets light wash over the double-height reception room, which has an outside-in
feel thanks to its lofty dual-aspect windows and array of plants. It’s an
easy-going environment with an eclectic edge. A 19th-century
photography chest in one corner, a laid-back Parisian daybed in the other and a
desk beneath the warehouse-style arched windows. The glass-roofed kitchen is
fitted with Bulthaup appliances and overlooks the south-west-facing patio
garden. The outdoor dining table and jacuzzi invite socialising backdropped by leafy
foliage.
Up
in the mezzanine, a haven of whitewashed interiors awaits in the master bedroom,
setting the scene for playful furnishings. Next door, a second bedroom has
versatility: spend peaceful nights on the plush sofa bed or keep it as a
dressing room, making use of the extensive storage it has on offer. An
adjoining shower room has an industrial touch.
Taking its name from the French ‘bel assis’, Belsize Park is true to its nature as a ‘beautifully situated’ location.
