Four double bedrooms, rare 55ft private garden in a sought-after Barnsbury square.
Grade II listed early-Victorian townhouse with many original features
A handsome Grade II listed early-Victorian townhouse on sought-after Gibson Square, offering generous family living and abundant original detail. High ceilings, full-height sash windows and restored cornicing create bright, characterful reception rooms across raised ground and upper floors. The house extends to lower-ground accommodation with a self-contained-style layout and direct access to a rare private garden and outbuilding.
This four-double-bedroom home will suit families who value period charm and central convenience: Upper Street’s shops and restaurants are moments away, with Angel and Highbury & Islington stations within easy walking distance. The sizable 55-foot garden is an exceptional asset for the area and provides versatile outdoor space and storage in the outbuilding.
Important practical points: the Grade II listing means any alterations require consent and can constrain modernisation. The property sits in Council Tax Band H and the immediate area records above-average crime levels — both material considerations for buyers. While the house is largely light and airy with many original features retained, parts of the lower-ground level and general refurbishment may be needed to suit contemporary family living.
Overall this is a rare central-London square home offering space, character and a substantial garden — a strong choice for buyers prepared to work within listed-building constraints and higher running costs. For families seeking long-term comfort close to Angel’s amenities, the house presents significant lifestyle value and scope to make the interior your own.
