THE OWNER

Swedish-born fashion designer Filippa Knutsson who set up her sustainable fashion brand, Filippa K, in 1993. She lived in the house with her children Nina, 25, Tom, 22, and Dylan, 19, from her previous marriages.

THE PROPERTY

A Georgian town house in Islington, north London, built in 1828 and laid out across five floors. The lower ground floor has two bedrooms, a utility room and cloakroom. The ground floor has a dining/living room, kitchen and cloakroom and leads out to the garden. On the first floor is another living room and home office. The second floor has the master bedroom and large en-suite bathroom. The third-floor bedroom has an en-suite bathroom and balcony.

HALLWAY

The original panelling from 1828 was restored and new solid oak floorboards were laid.

When Filippa Knutsson grew up in Chelsea in the 1970s she remembers the north London borough of Islington as ‘feeling like the end of the world’. Yet several decades later, she honed in on Barnsbury, finding it the ideal location for her home, which has recently been sold through The Modern House.
