A rare opportunity to acquire an exceptional one-bedroom Ex-Local Authority apartment in this landmark Modernist building in Islington. Bevin Court was designed in the early 1950s by the revered Modern Movement architect Berthold Lubetkin, in conjunction with Francis Skinner and Douglas Bailey. It has been given a rare Grade II* listing by English Heritage in recognition of its architectural significance..
Bevin Court has a triaxial plan consisting of three ‘wings’ with a central staircase. This striking staircase forms the centrepoint of the building and offers views across the city through the openings on each floor. It is in the process of being restored to its original colour scheme of grey, yellow and red. In John Allan’s book Berthold Lubetkin, he writes that, “it is difficult to cite any public staircase in the whole Modern Movement that can rival Lubetkin’s masterpiece at Bevin Court”. The entrance hall is also home to a mural by the artist Peter Yates.
Resident allotments, communal green areas and Holford Gardens frame the block, allowing a feeling of tranquillity and space, elevating the peaceful atmosphere of the grounds. The famous internal communal areas are the subject of architectural walking tours that frequent the block to take in the renowned staircase, mural and exposed landings.
The 483 sq ft property has recently undergone upgrades to fire safety, electrics and plumbing but works have ensured that the charm and detail of the property has remained. An important factor in such an iconic London block. Although a utility room has been created to accommodate modern living, the classic Bevin Court aesthetic has been thoroughly considered and integrated into the design.
Original cork flooring, joinery, crittal windows and internal doors remain. Updates have worked with the original design intentions for this modernist dwelling and tones have been pulled from other Lubetkin projects to bring the modernist vision inside the apartment. Natural light is abundant with dual aspect windows and undisturbed views from the 5th floor.
Nestled down a quiet street of the New River Conservation area, Bevin Court is a welcome sight to any modernist enthusiast, This south facing flat enjoys exceptional views of London landmarks such as The Shard, The Barbican and St. Paul’s Cathedral.
The location of the apartment within Bevin Court is rather special. It is located on the 5th floor, in the most sun drenched wing of the block. This means hours of natural sunlight guaranteed in this bright and airy property, which has breath taking, undisturbed views of the London Skyline.
This well connected property makes traveling within or out of London a breeze as it is just 15 mins walk to Kings Cross and 8 mins to Angel Station. The property is also situated on numerous popular bus routes. Located nearby are the famous Chapel Market, bustling Upper Street, Clerkenwell, Exmouth Market and Regents Canal.
