College Cross, London N1
Creating two stylish homes to meet the exacting demands of the Islington market
This Georgian terrace had been unsympathetically converted into two flats in the early 1980s. When I bought the upper flat, I immediately set about structural works to remedy the mismatched layout which had meant that the bathroom was on a different floor to the bedrooms.
Subsequently when I bought downstairs, I overcame the same problem by extending one of the cellars under the pavement and converting it into a bathroom. I put in a light well at the back of the flat and added a modern stainless steel staircase to give access to the garden.
