Rees Street II, Islington

Description

Nestled in a quiet residential North London neighbourhood, Rees Street II is a delightful family home, offering guests a rare chance to experience a side of London not often glimpsed by passing visitors.

Occupying a terraced townhouse, four bedrooms and two bathrooms unfold over four levels. Of particular note is the master bedroom, which features a walk-in dressing room and an ensuite bathroom with Crittall-style doors that smartly don't compromise on light or space.

Speaking of which, an abundance of natural light is certainly characteristic of this home, particularly on the lower ground floor, which houses an open-plan kitchen and a cosy family room with a skylight. The family room leads to a private two-level outdoor space with a dining area. Elsewhere, the entrance level features another sitting room, while the second floor also has a nursery for those travelling with babies.

The style throughout is modern with a palette of bleached herringbone oak flooring, woven carpets and neutral tones creating a base for bold statement colours – like sage greens and petrol-blue hues. The splashes of vibrant colour are expertly revealed through relaxed furnishings and contemporary details, from the artwork to the bathroom tiles.

The home is situated a short 15-minute walk from Angel Underground Station, as well as the shops and restaurants on Upper Street. Regent's Canal is also just a few steps away, where you can spend a day meandering the entire nine-mile length from Little Venice to the River Thames.
