Huntingdon Street, Barnsbury, Islington, London, N1

A beautifully arranged two-bedroom maisonette set across the upper floors of a handsome Victorian terrace on Huntingdon Street, right in the heart of Barnsbury. Combining period character with carefully considered modern updates, the house offers bright interiors and far-reaching views of the London skyline.

INSIDE

The home is accessed via a private entrance and staircase, leading up to a spacious second floor where the kitchen and reception are seamlessly connected. The bespoke kitchen was designed by Kim Parry of DBYK Interiors and has been fitted with shaker-style cabinetry in a Farrow & Ball Stiffkey Blue topped with marble worktops and complemented by open shelving and a butler sink. An island provides additional preparation space and casual dining, while natural light pours in through sash windows.

Beyond, the reception room is a generous, light-filled space, with pale timber floors underfoot and large sash windows overlooking the street. A wall of curated artwork adds colour and personality, while there is ample room for both living and dining.

On the upper floor are two bedrooms and a family bathroom. The principal bedroom is bright and tranquil, with bespoke shelving, fitted storage, and views over neighbouring gardens and city skyline. The second bedroom, currently arranged as a nursery, enjoys both a dormer window and skylight, ensuring wonderful levels of natural light. The bathroom is finished with clean, contemporary lines – a deep bath with overhead rainfall shower, modern tiling, and sleek fittings.
