Set on a sought-after Barnsbury crescent, this substantial four-bedroom maisonette combines Victorian scale with practical family living across multiple levels. High ceilings, tall sash windows and original wood floors create bright, characterful rooms that feel larger than their footprint. A private roof terrace and direct access to communal gardens extend living space outdoors in a very central setting.
The layout offers flexible family accommodation: a grand dual-aspect reception room with marble fireplace, a kitchen/dining area, and four bedrooms arranged over the upper floors. There is scope to create a second bathroom or utility room from the flexible fourth-bedroom area (subject to planning and party-wall consents), which would significantly improve everyday convenience for a family.
Important practical points are straightforward and factual. The building dates from before 1900 and has solid brick walls with no assumed cavity insulation, so thermal upgrades would be beneficial. Broadband speeds are slow despite excellent mobile signal. The property is Share of Freehold, comes with discreet storage throughout, and sits in an affluent, well-connected part of Islington close to parks, good schools and transport links.
This home will suit buyers prioritising space, character and location who are prepared to invest modestly in modern comforts (insulation, upgraded broadband and additional bathroom facilities) to unlock its full family potential.
