Burgh Street, Angel, Islington, London, N1

An elegant townhouse arranged across four floors, extending to over 1,650 sq ft and retaining a wealth of original architectural character including fireplaces, wide timber floorboards, sash windows and panelled shutters. Thoughtfully arranged for modern living, the house offers four bedrooms, two bathrooms and a versatile lower ground floor studio opening directly onto the private garden.

INSIDE

Entry is on the ground floor where the principal living spaces are arranged. Here, a calm and balanced layout allows natural light to pass through the house from both front and rear sash windows.

The kitchen and dining room sits to the front, centred around a beautifully proportioned Georgian arched window framed by traditional panel shutters. An original fireplace and generous shelving create a warm focal point, while the pared-back cabinetry and timber floors keep the space feeling light and uncluttered.

To the rear, a separate reception room offers a more intimate living space. Period detailing including ornate cornicing, shuttered sash windows and original timber flooring reinforce the home’s Georgian heritage. A guest WC is also positioned on the split level between the ground and lower ground floor.

The lower ground floor has been fully opened to form an expansive studio space currently used as a yoga and Pilates studio. With excellent ceiling height and a wide footprint, it provides exceptional flexibility for a variety of uses and could easily be converted to a kitchen / dining and family space, with potential to extend into the side return, STPP. Large wooden doors open directly onto the secluded South facing rear garden, creating an easy indoor-outdoor flow. This level also benefits from its own separate access from the street via an iron staircase leading down to a front patio.

Upstairs, four bedrooms and two bathrooms are arranged across the first and second floors.

The principal bedroom occupies the front of the first floor and is a particularly characterful room featuring an original fireplace, extensive built-in wardrobes and a freestanding bath positioned within the bedroom itself. Across the landing sits a second bedroom with fitted wardrobes and its own ensuite shower room, finished in a calm neutral palette.

Two further bedrooms are positioned on the second floor, both with built-in storage and roofline views, sharing a well-appointed family shower room.

Throughout the house, the combination of original Georgian detailing and simple contemporary finishes creates a home that feels both timeless and quietly refined.
