From the Agent: "An exercise in volume, light, and play, this dynamic one-bedroom house in Kentish Town is a beautifully idiosyncratic space built in 1975. The rhythm of vaulted ceilings culminates in a dramatic angular conservatory that steps out to the almost tropical garden at the rear. The property is within walking distance is Kentish Town’s wonderful restaurant and pub scene, as well as the rolling expanses of Hampstead Heath. The house sits discreetly behind the building line and is approached via a private front patio. It is set over a series of half levels that create soaring volumes and enticing sight lines throughout the plan. The stepped rear garden rises with the house in a series of tiers teeming with ferns, acers, and palms. At its highest point, it connects via a drawbridge to the top-floor conservatory. A brick patio surrounded by established greenery provides a secluded spot for al fresco dining in this enchanted setting."
