Echoes of the countryside envelop the kitchen and dining room, a setting to gather – around the farmhouse-style table or garden-view window seat. Character and practicality come in equal measure here, with underfloor heated reclaimed floors, cumbrian slate worksurfaces and a Bertazzoni range cooker. Akin to the rest of the home, natural light is in plentiful supply. A skylight overhead warms brushed brass details, while Crittall-style glazing offers a sightline out to the private garden.
Maximalist character meets country-style charm. This four-bedroom home to rent in Islington brings joyful design to a heritage backdrop.
Overview
A Victorian home reimagined by Mason Gillibrand Architects, Bryantwood Road finds its harmony between calm and creativity. Across three floors, original features are restored and celebrated, with new layers of colour and texture bringing social settings to life. A Crittall-framed kitchen to the rear connects the private garden: split between patio, lawn and planting for year-round days outdoors.

Living spaces
Convivial design might take centre stage, but sustainability is part of the story here too. Soane Britain furnishings style the home from top to toe: wallpaper, curtains and lighting throughout are British manufactured and made to endure. Patterned walls and eclectic prints provide the backdrop; reclaimed and restored antique pieces are dotted throughout. Textures are all tactile but inviting, ensuring a cosy quality that follows room to room.
Living spaces flow easily from front to back: sliding doors allow rooms to roll together as one or close off as needed. The front reception centres around a restored Victorian fireplace; built-in shelving lines the walls to form a library-like feel. Pick up a paperback and sink into the sofa, or step through to the second sitting room for a more intimate setting. Light up the log burner, craft a cocktail from the drinks trolley and hit play on the TV for movie nights at home.
Kitchen & dining
Bedrooms & bathrooms
Bedrooms are calm but expressive, each with its own palette and personality. The principal bedroom is papered in soft pink, with a discreet door that conceals its en suite. Garden views are best enjoyed from the bathtub; a rainfall shower is set up to refresh.
Three further bedrooms are equally considered – adorned with antiques, handcrafted pieces and original artwork. Two bathrooms – a pale pink shower room and deep green family bathroom – serve these rooms.
Outdoor space
At the back, a private garden offers space to unwind, eat outside and grow. Raised beds line the lawn with herbs, while a paved terrace just outside the kitchen is set for alfresco meals. Planting climbs the fencing and softens the brickwork, offering a green outlook from inside.
The neighbourhood
Bryantwood Road sits in a quiet pocket of Islington, close to the cafés, shops and neighbourhood restaurants of Upper Street. It’s a setting that balances village-like calm with the energy of London just beyond your door. Green space is nearby too. Highbury Fields and the Regent’s Canal towpath are perfect for walks, picnics and weekend wandering to Colombia Road Flower Market. Just around the corner, Westerns Laundry offers seafood and Spanish small-plates, or Trullo is just slightly further afield for homely Italian cuisine.
