This substantial five‑storey Grade II listed Georgian townhouse occupies 2,548 sq ft in the heart of Barnsbury, arranged over lower ground to roof level. The house retains strong period character—high ceilings, large sash windows and ornate fireplaces—and benefits from a south‑facing rear garden, a garden office/studio with its own roof terrace, plus a roof terrace with panoramic London views. A self‑contained one‑bed basement annexe offers immediate ancillary income or multi‑generational use.
The house is sold as a full renovation project and will require comprehensive refurbishment throughout. Listed status means any works affecting historic fabric will need listed‑building consent and may limit alterations; buyers should factor specialist conservation costs into budgets. The plot is very small for central London and the garden is modest, although well‑placed for sunlight and outdoor space.
Location is a key asset for family life: quiet Barnsbury conservation streets, top primary and secondary schools nearby, and short walks to Upper Street amenities. Transport links are excellent with Angel, Highbury & Islington, Barnsbury and Kings Cross/St Pancras within easy reach, making commutes simple.
For a buyer seeking to create a distinctive central‑London family home, this property offers substantial scale and scope to personalise across five floors. Be prepared for a significant programme of sensitive restoration and associated costs due to listed status.
