Inside Finsbury Park's Scandi-style mews homes: new-build rental homes at Fonthill Mews start at £2,200 a month

Scandi-style houses with the hallmarks of a loft apartment — light-filled interiors with free-flowing open-plan spaces — are available to rent in up-and-coming Finsbury Park.

Set in a gated Victorian mews, the homes replace a drab Eighties office campus and have been designed by the Baxter brothers, creators of the trendy Kip Hotel in Hackney, where monochrome minimalism reigns.

At Fonthill Mews, white-walled interiors have a more textural feel, featuring wide-plank oak floors, London Underground-like glazed brick tiles, exposed steel beams, vaulted ceilings, traditional radiators and Shaker-style kitchens with marble worktops and range cookers.

Crisp, powder-coated doors slide open to decked patios.

Once through the entrance gates, winding communal gardens punctuated with footlights and raised lamps signal the way to the homes.

Rents at Fontwell Mews start at £2,200 per month. Call Davies & Davies on 020 7272 0986 for more details.
