This smart home lies on the ground floor of a steel-grey 19th-century Methodist chapel in the Hornsey area of Islington, north London. It spans some 1,000 sq ft and is largely open-plan, with white-washed walls and light from well-placed windows and a small, glass-enclosed courtyard. This home also has a neat garden in front of the building that, facing south, is the ideal spot for growing potted plants.
