Description

Located in the exclusive Mica House, a landmark factory conversion in the Barnsbury Conservation Area, this south-facing two-bedroom loft apartment offers a unique blend of industrial heritage and modern sophistication. Originally built in 1935 as the Art Deco Micanite factory by Chamberlain & Willows, the building was transformed in 1995 by the innovative and acclaimed architects Paxton Locher, who preserved its character while introducing an elegant, contemporary design.

The apartment’s appeal is in its bright, spacious and free-flowing open plan design, featuring a living and dining area, modern kitchen and a study area. The two south-facing balconies have a vista towards the mature trees of Mountfort Terrace Gardens and beyond.

The primary bedroom has built-in wardrobes and an en-suite shower room with a separate WC. The second double bedroom offers leafy garden views and has access to a balcony. There is an additional shower room, which also serves as a guest WC.

Additional features include a handy utility room and there is ample storage throughout. American Walnut flooring with underfloor heating runs seamlessly through the apartment, complementing original features such as the aluminium windows, with exposed concrete sills.

Residents benefit from a secure off-street parking space with an EVC, as well as on-street parking with a permit. There is also a lift.

Location

Mica House is perfectly positioned amongst the elegant 19th century houses and tree-filled squares of Barnsbury, offering a tranquil setting with excellent connectivity.

The mature green spaces of Mountfort Terrace Gardens which it looks out across and Barnsbury Square, are at hand. Barnard Park and Highbury Fields are close by, with all their sports amenities.

Also nearby is the excellent selection of vibrant shops, restaurants, bakeries, bars, theatres, cinemas and gyms of Islington’s Upper Street and Angel, along with Coal Drops and Kings Cross. The renowned gastro pubs of the Albion and Drapers Arms, along with the Tamil Prince and Sunday’s café are just around the corner.

Highbury & Islington Station (Victoria Line, National Rail and Overground), Caledonian Road & Barnsbury (Overground) and Caledonian Road Station (Piccadilly Line), are in easy walking distance, as is the choice of several bus routes. Kings Cross and the Eurostar Terminal are also accessible.
