Barnsbury Street, London, N1

This spacious Grade II listed Georgian townhouse is arranged over five floors and sits in the heart of Barnsbury. Rich in period character and offering excellent proportions throughout, the property presents a rare opportunity for a buyer to create a truly exceptional family home.

The accommodation is both versatile and generous. The lower ground floor currently operates as a self-contained one-bedroom annexe, comprising a reception room, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom, with doors opening onto a private patio. The principal entrance to the main house is on the ground floor, where a large through kitchen, dining and reception space provides an excellent footprint for modern family living. A shower room and separate guest WC are located on the half landing, which also leads out to the south-facing rear garden.

The first floor hosts a particularly impressive L-shaped reception room, filled with natural light from large sash windows and retaining elegant original fireplaces and period detailing. Above, the second floor provides two well-proportioned double bedrooms, while the third floor offers a generous principal bedroom suite complete with a walk-in wardrobe and en-suite shower room. A further kitchenette and shower room are located on the half landing.

Externally, the house continues to impress. The south-facing garden features a separate garden studio/office, ideal for home working, which itself benefits from a roof terrace above. Completing the property is a further roof terrace at the top of the house, accessed via a spiral staircase, enjoying wide-reaching views across London.

With its classic Georgian architecture, flexible layout and exceptional potential, this is a rare opportunity to own a remarkable period home in one of Islington’s most desirable residential locations.
