Victorian bones house warm minimalist interiors at this property in leafy Islington, London. The two-bedroom home on Morton Road is listed for £795,000 by The Modern House.

Situated in the East Canonbury Conservation Area, it has undergone a thoughtful renovation by its current owners to enhance natural light flow throughout. Soft white Farrow & Ball hues adorn the interior walls, complementing natural materials such as refinished timber parquet flooring and neutral, earthy tones that add texture and warmth. A wood-burning stove adds extra cosiness.

A highlight is the dining room, featuring striking black metal-framed glazing that offers garden views and opens onto a patio with space for a table and chairs. The kitchen meanwhile showcases an exposed timber beam and wooden cabinetry backdropped by white tiling.

The bathroom has been overhauled too, with a new Japanese style tub and contrasting grey tiling and black hardware, while the primary bedroom has bespoke cabinetry and the children’s bedroom cosy cork flooring with under-heating.
