Summary - 24 THORNHILL ROAD LONDON N1 1HW
3 bed 2 bath Terraced
Architect-designed three-storey home with flexible living and high-quality finishes.
Private rooftop terrace with local views
This unusual mid-terrace house is a converted Victorian shopfront redesigned by award-winning architects to create three generous storeys of contemporary living in Barnsbury Conservation. Light-filled rooms, bespoke joinery and quality fittings — including integrated Miele appliances and Boffi/Duravit bathrooms — give the house a high-end, low-maintenance feel. The private rooftop terrace provides a rare outdoor room and local views in an area where gardens are very small.
Accommodation is flexible and suits family life or home-working: the ground floor offers living space plus a bedroom/home office and shower room, the first floor contains a principal bedroom with en-suite and a front living area with extensive storage and bookcases, and the top floor currently arranged as an office could serve as a third bedroom with direct access to the roof terrace. Underfloor heating, double glazing and thoughtfully planned storage add daily comfort.
Practical points to note: the property is freehold but sits on a very small plot with limited garden space; the EPC is rated D and the building’s solid brick construction suggests insulation upgrades could improve efficiency. Council tax is described as expensive, reflecting the central N1 setting. Transport, schools and Upper Street amenities are close by, making this a convenient central London family home with strong design credentials.
Overall, this is a well-detailed, architect-led home for buyers who prioritise design, flexible living and an exceptional rooftop terrace over extensive private garden space. Those seeking the highest energy efficiency or a large outdoor plot should factor in potential retrofit works and limited exterior grounds.
