Immaculately refurbished and extended, this three-bedroom Victorian terrace sits quietly on Southern Street between Barnsbury and King’s Cross. The house has been fully rewired and fitted with a new central heating system; contemporary finishes combine with high ceilings and Georgian façade for characterful city living. Bifold doors open the reception to a private, landscaped garden, creating a bright open-plan ground floor ideal for family life and entertaining.
The layout spreads over three floors: a kitchen-diner with mezzanine to the front, two first-floor bedrooms and bathroom, plus a lower-level third bedroom with a new ensuite. Thoughtful, architect-led improvements include high-grade sound insulation across floors, underfloor heating, weather-sensing skylights and a full Wi‑Fi mesh — practical tech and comfort upgrades for modern living. There is generous built-in and vault storage, and the freehold is being sold chain free.
Location is a strong selling point: Coal Drops Yard, Granary Square and the King’s Cross transport hub are a short walk away, providing excellent rail and Underground links. Local schools include several highly rated options within easy reach, and the immediate neighbourhood offers plentiful amenities, cafés and parks.
Buyers should note a few material facts: the property sits on a small plot and was built with solid brick walls that appear to lack cavity insulation. Double glazing was installed before 2002, and while the home benefits from a new heating system and underfloor heating, the wall insulation may require attention for long‑term energy efficiency. The area records above-average crime and local area deprivation indicators — important considerations for families or buyers prioritising neighbourhood safety.
