Crescent Street is a rare example of an architect-designed, one-bedroom house with a freehold in one of Islington’s best locations. Built in 1998, to a design by the architect Andy Anderson, the space unfolds over the lower ground, ground, and first floors to provide just under 700 sq ft of accommodation. Situated on a quiet, no-through road, the thoughtfully considered house is perfectly positioned in the coveted Barnsbury Conservation Area.

Upon entering the house, a reception area welcomes guests on the ground floor. This dual-aspect space is filled with light from the frosted glass at the front, a full wall of glazing at the back, and clerestory windows along the sides. The room is finished with resin flooring.

The lower ground floor hosts the kitchen and dining area, designed with custom-built storage under the stairs. White cabinetry brightens the space, hiding appliances and providing additional storage.

A staircase with open treads and a raw steel handrail leads to the first floor, which contains a double bedroom and a bathroom featuring a roll-top bathtub. A skylight on the landing offers access to the flat roof.
