Like some long-held secret, Torriano Cottages is a bucolic oasis close to the heart of Kentish Town. At the end of this quiet 19th-century cul-de-sac lies an exceptional example of modern movement design. The house was designed and built in 1966-67 by the architect Philip Pank for himself, his wife and four children, and is Grade II-listed in recognition of its ingenious use of space, light and materials. Pank’s seminal London home is being offered for sale for the first time in its history, along with his adjoining studio, an annexe, a garage and an adjoining garden plot.  The current arrangement totals six bedrooms with two vast living spaces arranged around a beautiful courtyard and gardens.
