Natural light, a simple but underestimated feature in any home. From improving mood and sleep to creating the perfect backdrop for any artist, it’s the one element that can transform your living space, and by being incorporated into the core design, it leaves a property indispensable to a buyer.
If abundant natural light is a key essential on your property checklist, here are a few of our favourites…
Alphabet Square
A loft of this magnitude is a surprising find in this quiet part of E3, a rarity directly opposite Limehouse Cut canal. It’s a classic and contemporary loft that is most impressive with double height ceilings, floor to ceiling windows, and two voluminous bedrooms. The use of vertical space is shrewdly arranged, never comprising on square footage or light.
The reception area is arranged naturally into distinct living and dining areas, but can easily be rearranged to taste, comfortably accommodating a host of lifestyle choices. Natural light is this property’s major asset, which makes the space inviting and joyful to spend time in.
Its interesting use of glass both inside and outside the home empowers the natural brightness.
The 80s glass block walls, which are making a fashionable return, allow light to meander into areas, but still provide some privacy.
Converted Lightbulb Factory
Close to Brixton’s beating heart but hidden away off Brixton Hill, a super cool, three storey 2203 sq ft live/work warehouse conversion with nods to its industrial heritage in a private gated community with secure parking and roof terrace with unique views of the Brixton Windmill.
“The Lightworks”, originally a lightbulb factory, hence the name, is host to a small collection of highly prized warehouse conversions. This home’s dark decadent painted walls and ceilings works well because of its ample natural light which pours into the property.
An opulent, huge bedroom suite dominates the ground floor, its floor area matched by its considerable volume. Industrial glass brick work fills the back wall throwing light across the glossy wood floor and into the generous dressing room and its adjoining shower ensuite doing its best to look like a chic nightclub dressing area.
Capping the internal room count is the kitchen diner which occupies the mezzanine. The glamour of this urban space continues with deep black bespoke cabinetry topped with a glossy blue countertop and filled with an array of lux appliances.
This room is also the gateway to the private rooftop terrace that soaks up sun and enjoys tranquil views across a significant local landmark, the Brixton Windmill and its surrounding green open space.
It’s a peaceful and composed space, a rare commodity in Brixton’s energetic local scene. On the market for £1,450,000
