An exceptional Grade II* early Gothic Victorian corner house on prestigious Lonsdale Square, offering grand, well-proportioned rooms across four principal levels. The dual-aspect first-floor drawing room and raised-ground dining/kitchen benefit from high ceilings, ornate period detail and large sash windows that flood the principal rooms with light. A rarely found triple garage and a large roof terrace add flexible space for parking, storage or potential studio use (subject to consents).
The lower level contains a self-contained one-bedroom apartment, useful for guests or additional rental income. Accommodation totals five bedrooms and three bathrooms, including two large doubles on the second floor and two further doubles on the top floor. The house is large (approximately 3,732 sq ft) and well suited to a family seeking character and proximity to Upper Street, Angel and multiple transport hubs.
Buyers should note the property’s listed status: Grade II* listing protects historic features but will complicate and restrict alterations and maintenance, requiring listed-building consent for many works. The building’s solid brick construction means little or no built-in insulation; upgrading services or fabric will need careful planning and specialist contractors. Council tax is very expensive and the plot is relatively small compared with the house footprint.
This is a rare opportunity to own a principal house on Lonsdale Square that combines significant period character, large entertaining spaces, a roof terrace and off-street parking. It will particularly appeal to families who value architectural detail and central locations, and to buyers seeking rental flexibility via the lower-ground flat and garage conversion potential (subject to permissions).
