Underwood Street

A thoughtfully refurbished warehouse conversion in the heart of Islington, combining original industrial features with considered contemporary interiors and over 1,500 square feet of distinctive loft-style living space.

Set within a converted former warehouse on Underwood Street, N1, this distinctive loft style home offers over 1,500 square feet of living space, with two bedrooms, a separate study, generous open plan living and one allocated underground parking space. The interiors have been thoughtfully refurbished by Huxley Home, bringing the building’s industrial heritage into a warm, comfortable home. Exposed brickwork, original metal beams and retained warehouse style windows and doors give the flat its unmistakable character. In the main living space, full height, grid framed glazing draws in the morning light, while original timber floorboards add warmth underfoot. Carefully placed recessed lighting and speakers fitted throughout provide a discreet contemporary layer. The long reception and dining room has been arranged to create distinct places to relax and entertain. A calm, neutral palette, tactile soft furnishings and considered artwork sit beautifully against the texture of the brick. The overall effect is a thoughtful blend of vintage and minimalist influences, with the character of the building always at the fore. The kitchen is a design feature in its own right. Sleek, handleless cabinetry, integrated appliances and a generous central island create a clean lined, practical space, softened by open display shelving with a muted green backdrop. A light stone effect worktop, brass toned tap and bar seating bring contrast and detail, while pale tiled flooring defines the kitchen from the warmer timber boards beyond. The bedrooms continue the balance of character and comfort, with exposed brick, carefully chosen feature colours, soft textures and considered bedside lighting. A separate study offers a calm place to work. The bathrooms bring a more contemporary finish, with glossy white metro tiles, black framed shower glazing and dark fittings. A freestanding bath and sculptural basin add further character, while recessed lighting keeps the spaces clean and understated. A home with a strong sense of place, this is a considered take on loft living, where original warehouse details, thoughtful design and everyday comfort come together.
