Over the last two weeks of July and the first two weeks of August, Ted Cullinan’s 1964 house in Camden Mews is being offered for holiday lettings on a one-off basis.
Camden Mews is a quiet cobbled street that runs parallel with Camden Square. It is renowned for its innovative and diverse modern architecture, and has been home to a wealth of architects for many decades. One of these residents is Ted Cullinan of practice Cullinan Studio, who still lives in the house that he built for himself.
Cullinan has created a thoughtful interior with unexpected views and excellent natural light. The upper floor contains a large open-plan reception room/kitchen/dining room, with a glazed wall which runs the full length of the south-west wall of the property and looks out over the terrace. The terrace is planted with lush, fragrant flora and there is a table and bench for eating out.
The ground floor contains two double bedrooms, a shower room and a toilet. Slate brick flooring has been used throughout downstairs and is continued through to the courtyard as well as the outside steps and walkways, giving a seamless blend between inside and out.
This house is approximately equidistant between the Underground stations at Camden Town (Northern Line), Kentish Town (Northern Line) and Caledonian Road (Piccadilly Line). Camden Road train station is close at hand, and there are also overground services from Kentish Town and Caledonian Road. The house is well placed for access to the new Eurostar terminal at St Pancras International. Stroll along the canal to Camden Market, Regents Park (London Zoo) and Primrose Hill or to Camden Passage in Islington for antiques.
