St Peter's Street, Angel, Islington, London, N1

A handsome and characterful Grade II-listed Victorian house arranged over three floors, positioned on a desirable street moments from Upper Street. The house retains exceptional period integrity, with tall sash windows, ornate cornicing, original floorboards and cast-iron fireplaces throughout, balanced with a practical family layout and a beautifully landscaped rear garden.

INSIDE

Entry is via a recessed front door into a central hallway with original pine flooring and decorative cornicing. To the right, a wonderfully proportioned double reception room spans the depth of the house, linked by a wide archway and framed by sash windows at both ends. Marble fireplace surrounds, bespoke shelving and the elegant curved rear window create a refined yet flexible living space.

The lower level is arranged as a generous kitchen and dining room. The kitchen features marble worktops, a central island with butler sink, walk-in pantry and separate utility area, while glazed doors open directly to steps leading up to the garden — ideal for entertaining and everyday family life.

Upstairs are three bedrooms arranged across two floors. The principal bedroom occupies the front of the first floor with built-in storage, while a second bedroom at the rear enjoys the same distinctive curved window and window seat overlooking the garden. A third bedroom sits on the top floor beneath the roofline, accompanied by a large bathroom with roll-top bath and painted panelling.

Throughout, the house offers excellent ceiling heights, beautiful natural light and a strong sense of architectural character rarely found.

OUTSIDE

The private rear garden is a tranquil, paved oasis with mature planting, rose bushes and multiple seating areas. Its winding layout creates pockets for outdoor dining and relaxation, while also offering a striking vantage point to appreciate the home’s distinctive curved architecture.
