For Sale: A Fashion Editor's Converted Factory Home In London
Check out the sales listing, here: themodernhouse.media/mal
Harriet Verney, co-founder of digital creative agency Push Button Generation, lives in an oasis of calm in the thumping heart of Dalston. If that sounds like an oxymoron, it’s fitting. Situated just off Shacklewell Lane (a melting pot of early birds queuing at bakeries and late-night partygoers alike), Harriet’s home - which is on the market - offers the best of both: one side of her dual-aspect living space looks out to a road that leads to Kingsland High Street; the other frames leafy views of her gated mews. Part of a former Bible factory, the setting is suitably serene - particularly the peaceful communal garden, where the only buzz is that of bees. “It’s super rare,” she says. “I don’t think I’ll ever find something like this again.”

We are eagerly waiting for more videos, The Modern House is my favorite channel to feel inspired and dream of my own space! Really looking forward to seeing more videos soon🤍
This channel is rapidly becoming my favourite. I am going to be really sad when I've finished all the videos which I'm working my way through. It is fascinating to see how people - especially creative people like myself - decorate and live in their homes. Much better than boring 'magazine homes' empty of all life. Also, although I'm not in the market in Britain, I find this a really novel way of selling homes and advertising your company. Bravo!
Everybody hating on white walls but I still love them, its like in art gallery. Just because its become trendy and its now going away apparently it doesn't mean it should be so hated on so much. It depends on how you style the room etc.
Beautiful and quirky. Love it
You know the parties at this house are the absolute BEST. Brash, eccentric, iconoclastic and delightful.
Stunning place!
Beautiful home, love it.

Lovely home, ceilings are unexpected. I wasn’t sure where I recognised Harriet and it’s from a house tour of her late aunties incredible old Manor House,
Beautiful home in a beautiful suburb.

In a sense, she discovered him and was his first patron, bought his entire first collection as a poor student and helped him with industry contacts etc. Theirs was at times a rather troubled friendship sadly though. There’s some great articles, videos etc on it.
Can I have the sofa and checkered chair.
I don't think there's anything wrong with an an upper middle class person's property, a lot of snearing going on here and frankly, who cares that it's white - you buy it, you can colour it any way you want afterwards. I wonder more's the point for the snearing is Harriet's riding on the coattails of her Aunt, Issie Blow. But that has nothing to do with her house. And she seems like a nice girl. I certainly wouldn't mind the house either

Well said, classism directed either way can be ugly and revealing. Harriette seems genuine and great fun, she’s created a bright, fresh, and welcoming home decorated with eclectic and playful pieces that reflect her personality. I love the open sense of space the soaring ceilings and mezzanine provide, the stainless steel kitchen with its bustling community view, and that it offers the best of both worlds depending on either side of the property. Personally I think white is timeless especially when it allows for more interesting architecture to speak, plus it acts as a perfect backdrop for art collections and various decor styles. But the point is whoever buys it can repaint it to their taste! It would make for a great party pad, also perfect for a creative person as a working studio-home with all that natural light and gallery wall space. Love it, thanks for another inspiring video TMH!

Owned for 2 years and a bit and she bought it just as they were coming out of lockdown? What?
Dalston Supermarket, ha! You can't be doing that and bring up kids. Time for a 13 bed mansion in the country. With Spaniels.
Isn't it strange, she has got children, but you can't see a single toy lying around😮

Underwhelming
Seems like a great home for a child-free couple, not so much for new parents. Don't like the idea of the baby being by itself on the ground floor with the parents up in the eaves.
People like this have ruined Dalston

Don't be a nymby - gentrification has always existed. Before these hipsters "ruined" Dalston, there were gentrification during Georgian and Victorian times. Dalston was one of London's slums then - do you want it to stay that way? New people are always replacing older ones. Regeneration of run-down inner cities are generally a good thing.

@@southwestkinema9149 its priced over £1000 per sqft... Dalston has been on a decline in the last 2 years. Should not pay anything more than £700k, realistically no more than 690k, but typical for modern house to overprice things and sell them to naive idiots who are obsessed with their channel.
