Summary - 1, Frederick Street WC1X 0NG
5 bed 3 bath Terraced
Spacious period home with modern fittings and private garden.
Nearly 2,600 sq ft across five architecturally designed floors
This elegant five-bedroom terraced townhouse offers nearly 2,600 sq ft of flexible living across five floors, blending period stucco character with contemporary upgrades. A bespoke Italian kitchen, contemporary conservatory and a private, low-maintenance garden create practical family and entertaining spaces. Modern comforts include mains gas boiler with underfloor heating, double glazing (install date unknown) and fast broadband with excellent mobile signal — ideal for homeworking.
The property is a freehold mid-terrace built before 1900, with solid brick walls (assumed no insulation) and a small plot size. These details present both charm and maintenance considerations: solid construction and period features are paired with potential costs for insulation upgrades and ongoing upkeep associated with older homes. The house has been thoughtfully extended and reconfigured, providing dual access points and adaptable room layouts.
Location is a major draw: positioned in vibrant Kings Cross, the house sits close to outstanding and independent schools, plentiful amenities and exceptional transport links. Buyers should balance the convenience and lifestyle benefits against notable local issues — the area has very high crime and is classed as deprived — which may influence insurance, security needs and long-term resale considerations.
Suitable for a family seeking substantial central space or an owner-occupier wanting a characterful townhouse with modernised interiors, this home also offers scope for further energy-efficiency improvements. Viewings are recommended for those prioritising location, size and architectural presence, while factoring in upgrading and security requirements.
