Occupying the ground and lower ground floors of a Grade II listed terrace on a private garden square, this three-bedroom maisonette blends original Victorian character with a sensitive modern refurbishment. High ceilings, pine floors, shutters, plaster cornicing and original fenestration give the principal rooms an elegant, airy feel while the kitchen and bathroom have been finished to a contemporary standard.
The layout includes a double reception, high-ceilinged kitchen/dining room with direct garden access, a substantial master bedroom, two further bedrooms (one opening onto a sunny patio) and a useful cellar for storage. Residents benefit from access to the large communal garden behind the property and the square’s maintained gardens to the front—rare outside space in central Islington.
Practical details: the flat is newly renovated and sold as a share of freehold with approximately 83 years remaining on the lease. The property’s listed status preserves its charm but will require any changes to follow conservation rules and may complicate permissions. Service charge and running costs should be noted, and council tax is described as expensive.
Location is a key strength: tranquil and secluded within the Barnsbury Conservation Area yet a short walk from Upper Street’s shops, cafés and transport hubs, with Angel and Highbury & Islington within easy reach. Good and outstanding local schools make this a practical family choice as well as an attractive pied-à-terre for central London living.
