Set on a tree-lined street in the Barnsbury Conservation Area, this late-Georgian, Grade II listed townhouse offers generous, light-filled living across multiple floors. Original period detail — high ceilings, ornate cornicing, tall sash windows and a grand staircase — gives the house strong character and an immediately memorable sense of home. The principal bedroom faces south and the rear rooms open onto a secluded walled garden that backs onto Morland Mews Park.
At c.1,920 sq ft the layout suits a family seeking substantial living and entertaining space: a double reception with marble fireplace, a lower-ground kitchen/diner with central island, useful vault storage and a peaceful courtyard garden. The property is freehold and benefits from excellent transport links (Angel, King’s Cross, Highbury & Islington) and a wide range of nearby amenities on Upper Street and around Granary Square.
Important practical points are set out plainly. Grade II listing means alterations will require consent and may limit modernisation options. The house’s solid-brick construction likely lacks cavity insulation, so energy upgrades will be constrained and could require specialist approaches; the property is in council tax band G. Though beautifully preserved, the house will suit buyers prepared for sensitive conservation-led improvements rather than a quick modern refit.
This is a rare opportunity to own a sizable Georgian townhouse in one of Islington’s most desirable enclaves. It will appeal to buyers who value period authenticity, gardens that back onto parkland and proximity to central London transport, and who are comfortable managing the responsibilities and costs that come with listed, older properties.
