There are some homes that stop you dead in your tracks. Homes that are so wonderfully unique that they demand you take a closer look. This former 19th century print house in Hoxton Square, which is currently on the market with The Modern House design-led estate agency, is one such property that we have fallen for, in a big way.

Its generous proportions, lofty scale and beautiful period features, not to mention creative flair, combine to create an endlessly characterful home designed for living. Telling stories at every turn, this home has style and grace, yet it never compromises on comfort… Just look at that giant sofa!

Arranged across five floors joined by a beautiful open tread wooden staircase, the home also features an artist’s studio, cinema room, even a steam room. Original timber beams, wood and concrete flooring, exposed brick walls and the use of metal celebrates its industrial heritage, yet the aesthetic is softened with rich colours, luxurious fabrics and lots of greenery from floor to ceiling.
