Set on a quiet, tree-lined street and backing onto St Paul’s Shrubbery, this handsome Grade II listed mid-terrace offers generous ceiling heights, abundant period detail and a rare 55ft+ west-facing garden with a wood-and-glass office studio. The house is arranged over lower ground, raised ground and two upper floors, with a separate lower-ground annex entrance ideal for guests, a studio or rental income.
The principal reception rooms enjoy strong natural light through tall sash windows with original shutters, marble fireplaces, coving and timber floorboards; overall the property feels spacious at about 2,155 sq ft for family living and entertaining. Transport links are excellent, with several Overground and tube stations within easy walking distance, and a mix of outstanding and well-regarded local schools close by.
Important considerations: the property’s listed status will restrict alterations and may complicate renovation work and building consents. The house appears constructed of solid brick with little or no wall insulation and has only two bathrooms for five bedrooms, which may require investment to modernise or extend services. The plot footprint is typical for an Islington terrace (small front garden), so outdoor space is deep rather than wide.
This home will suit a family seeking character, a buyer wanting a substantial central-London townhouse with garden and studio, or an investor comfortable with listed-building constraints. With thoughtful updating and listed-building guidance, the house offers significant lifestyle appeal and scope to enhance facilities while retaining period charm.
