A very bright one-bedroom ex-Local Authority apartment with south-facing balcony on the second floor of this 1930s block. The interior of the flat has been refurbished to a high standard by the architects Douglas Carson and Rosaleen Crushell.

Internal accommodation measures approximately 63 sq m / 678 sq ft. The flat originally had two bedrooms, but the architects have opened up the space to create a generous reception and dining room. They have added bespoke folding shutters throughout, and reconfigured the entrance hall, adding a plywood lining with new storage space. They have also installed a new fitted kitchen. The building has retained its original metal-framed windows.

Quelch House forms part of the well-maintained Brecknock Road Estate, which includes two large courtyard gardens and a central tree-lined avenue. The flat is a short walk from Tufnell Park and Kentish Town Tube stations, and a 10-minute bus ride from King’s Cross.

Architects Douglas Carson and Rosaleen Crushell began their collaboration in 2003 when they graduated from University College Dublin. They have worked for a number of award-winning practices, including Eric Parry Architects and Edward Cullinan Architects.
