There’s a fantastic sense of privacy established from the outset. Positioned behind a gated entrance​​ that separates the property from its car park and bicycle storage, a silver birch tree-lined path leads the way to a peaceful internal courtyard garden and a glass-clad hallway from which the living quarters unfold.

The kitchen bears a bold look and restaurant-quality amenities. A row of sleek double-height cupboards are accessed via a sliding ladder, offering unending storage options. The culinary station is just as considered – wrapped in stainless steel, it features a double Wolf oven and a butcher’s block-style table for 10. To one side, a convenient utility room conceals the nuts and bolts. Nearby, an 18-seater wooden dining table is tailor-made for hosting. Surrounded by cantilever chairs by Mart Stam and Marcel Breuer, there’s an easygoing mid-century aesthetic set in place.

Set on the first floor, the principal bedroom is replete with textural charm. Outlining a vaulted ceiling, black steel girders and exposed wooden struts accentuate the generous double-height proportions of the space. Light pours in through roof glazing, illuminating the pale floors and brick walls. There’s an expansive dressing room complete with plenty of storage, plus a soothing en suite bathroom featuring an oversized walk-in shower and freestanding bathtub.

A patio garden forms the centre of the home, with access via a series of double doors surrounding the space. Paving is interspersed with verdant trees, leading to an outdoor dining table. Gather friends for al fresco entertaining here, while you marvel at the vertical wood panelling and sculptural glazing that forms the exterior façade.

At the top of the house, there’s access to a large terrace finished with sleek wood floors and leafy planting. Make the most of London’s warmer months from this rooftop vista: coffees in the mornings, sundowners come evening.
