Architecture and Interior
Replete with your own private entrance you enter into a decent porch, an ideal storage area.
Flowing through into the reception room this is a spacious and warm open space with high ceilings, ornate big windows and plenty of natural light. The size of the space is the key to its versatility with endless ways of arranging the space for relaxation, dining or even work.
A fully fitted kitchen is discreetly tucked away to one side and provides ample storage space with a larder hidden away at one end.
Downstairs, two spacious bedrooms fill the lower ground floor off a wonderful wide hallway. The second bedroom is a great size complete with a secret walk-in wardrobe.
The principal bedroom has an immense footprint and includes a luxurious en-suite bathroom with walk-in shower & W/C.
Adjacent from the hallway is an equally lavish family bathroom comprising a deep bathtub, overhead shower and W/C.
The Kentish Town wash house is a locally important, grade 2 listed building which offered both bathing and laundry facilities for working-class Victorians. This building has been fully restored around 15 years ago and has been at the heart of the local community for well over a century.
