Set across four floors, this beautifully presented Grade II listed upper maisonette offers 1,406 sq ft of bright living space and a secluded private garden in the heart of Barnsbury. The layout suits families who need separate bedrooms and generous reception space: four double bedrooms (principal with en-suite), a large L-shaped open-plan kitchen/reception, guest WC and useful eaves storage. High ceilings, sash windows and period detail combine with contemporary finishes to create an attractive urban family home.
Practical strengths include a very long lease (share of freehold with c.968 years remaining), mains gas heating with radiators, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for homeworking. The property sits in a peaceful turning yet is extremely central, within walking distance of Angel and Highbury & Islington stations and close to several highly rated schools.
Buyers should note the listing and conservation-area status: external and many internal alterations will be restricted and can complicate renovations. The building’s solid brick construction likely lacks cavity insulation, so upgrades may be needed to improve thermal efficiency and running costs. Council tax is described as expensive, and local reported crime is above average, which buyers should factor into their decision.
Overall, this is an unusually spacious and light four-bedroom maisonette with a private garden and genuine period charm, best suited to families seeking central Islington living who are comfortable with the limitations and responsibilities that come with a Grade II listed home.
