In the leafy enclave of Highgate, North London, a once-neglected flat nestled within a converted church has undergone a remarkable transformation.
For twenty years, this apartment languished as an unremarkable rental property with its ecclesiastical features hidden beneath utilitarian renovations—dropped ceilings concealing original arches, stone columns disappearing behind partition walls, and magnificent stained glass partially covered.
The current owner, seeing beyond its shabby state, has meticulously stripped away decades of mundane additions to reveal the church's original splendor: a spectacular rose window now bathes the polished marble floor in kaleidoscopic light; two stone column proudly on display and custom-designed modern elements creating a harmonious space where daily life unfolds amidst preserved sacred history.
