Rare and very impressive Grade II listed house in the heart of the Angel.

Description

This Grade II listed house has been beautifully refurbished throughout and now offers just over 5,600 sq ft of internal space.

Working with local architects Lipton Plant the owners have designed a very unique house with every room creatively finished. It is a wonderful mix of modern living in a very elegant period house. The inspiration for the house was Mies van der Rohe meets Brighton Pavillion.

The original house starts on the ground floor with very elegant reception room to the front and library to the rear. The wallpaper in the reception room was hand painted by the artist Alain Frentzel. There is also a stunning room on this floor which is currently used as an office with wonderful light and views over the garden. It has it's own private terrace and an impressive wide glass door taking you out to the garden.

On the first floor there is a further reception to the front with very elegant deep sash windows giving great views over the Duncan Terrace garden. There is a gorgeous 17th century fireplace in this room. The room can be opened up to give a further reception but owners are currently using the rear room as a bedroom. A secret door in the reception room leads you into a study area. And there is also a bathroom on this floor.

The second floor offers two double bedroom and spacious family bathroom with room for the washing and dryer machines.

The impressive principal suite is on the top floor - the ceiling has been lifted giving a wonderful feeling of space. The very private terrace off the bedroom is a true suntrap and has stunning views over the City. The en suite bathroom has a rolled top bath and separate shower room.

The entrance hall is spacious and allows for easy storage of bikes, coats and shoes. Stairs lead you down to the modern kitchen which was inspired by Fujimoro the Japanese architects. The dining room gives direct access to the rear garden which spans back to the studio room. There is a self contained studio apartment to the front on this floor with bedroom/reception, kitchen and shower room. External steps give you access to the outside. There is also a pantry and guest cloakroom.

The basement offers an incredible space which is currently being used as an art studio but could have many uses such as a gym, art gallery amongst other things.

The house has double glazing and underfloor heating throughout. The outside facing walls were all insulated inside during the renovations.

This is an amazing house which has to be seen to be fully appreciated. The owners are offering the house chain free.
