Durkan Estates unveils Arts and Crafts conversion

Durkan Estates is pleased to unveil a collection of new apartments at Morton Grand, its stunning refurbishment of the late 19th century Arts and Crafts Ecclesbourne boarding school in Islington, N1.

A magnificent example of elegant Victorian architecture, its restoration brings the character and charm of that bygone era back to life. Sympathetically renovated and refurbished using high quality materials and modern methods of construction, old meets new in these comfortable, stylish homes designed for modern living. The one and two bedroom apartments are finished to a high standard with integrated contemporary kitchens featuring granite and stone worktops and lacquered timber flooring.

Danny Durkan, Chief Executive of Durkan Estates comments: “Morton Grand is such a unique project with a wow factor that really has to be seen to be appreciated. The contrast of the Victorian architecture and modern interiors is ideal for those looking for a property with true character while benefiting from the comforts of a 21st century home.”

The main apartment building, formerly the Art block, offers a range of one and two bedroom apartments, each designed to provide spacious and flexible accommodation. Some apartments are split over two floors, offering magnificent vaulted ceilings allowing natural light to flood through the main living areas which is overlooked by the master bedroom on the mezzanine floor.

A place of great character and contrasts, the borough of Islington offers a unique and diverse blend of cultures. From beautiful Georgian and Victorian architecture to striking post-war housing, from quaint antique shops to trendy boutiques and from delightful parks to lively nightlife venues, there is always something different going on in this intriguing borough.
