Set in a former factory on handsome Highgate Road, The Maple building pairs an imposing redbrick façade with sophisticated interiors and concierge services. On the first floor, an eye-catching apartment carefully choreographed by fashion designer Jason Basmajian captures an effortless essence of loft-style living.
Illuminated by 10 steel-framed windows, the open-plan kitchen and reception room is organically zoned by its L-shaped form. A striking kitchen unites Miele appliances with minimalist inky cabinetry, plus a stone-topped island crowned with an industrial light feature. Hardwood flooring flows into the dining and reception area beyond, generously flooded in light. Around the corner, a separated space offers versatility as an office or cosy snug.
A sense of serenity is evoked in the principal bedroom suite, where south-facing windows warm soft grey hues. Finished in oversized stone tiles, an en suite bathroom features a walk-in rainfall shower.
An additional bedroom combines burgundy hues with integrated storage – a flexible space that could also be used as an office, studio or library room. A stylish family bathroom features a floating cabinet vanity and bathtub with an integrated shower.
Location
Community-orientated Kentish Town offers an array of cafes and restaurants. Start your day with pastries from Gail’s Bakery or Kossoffs then caffeinate and conversate at Neighbourhood Organic. Within walking distance are the lawns and lakes of Hamstead Heath as well as the pubs and restaurants of Highgate. Wander down Swain’s Lane and marvel at Holly Village, co-designed by Charles Dickens. Parliament Hill is also worth the walk for its unbeatable views. While you’re there, do a few laps of the lido. For dinner, choose between sushi at Kami, small plates at Kentish Town Stores or French classics from Patron.
