Early Victorian townhouse in Barnsbury

Description

This is a particularly attractive Grade II listed early Victorian townhouse in the heart of the Barnsbury Conservation area. The house enjoys the perfect orientation with east light at the front and west facing afternoon light and sun at the rear.

The current owners have maintained the house to a high standard with much care and attention given to the heritage of the house with the fireplaces, ceiling mouldings and shutters etc. Additionally, the decoration is in good order throughout, offering a turnkey option for the next owner.

The lower ground floor has an excellent fitted kitchen that leads into the dining room and beyond the garden room/study that has extensive bookcases and double doors leading out to the garden. The kitchen has an adjacent area for utilities.

The ground floor has a particularly attractive through sitting room from the front of the house to the rear that overlooks the garden. This room features matching fireplaces, ceiling mouldings and large sash windows with shutters.

The first floor houses the main bedroom, which has air- conditioning, and the main bathroom. The bathroom has both a bath and a separate free-standing shower and substantial cupboard storage. There is also a second shower room downstairs.

The top floors are occupied by the second and third bedroom both with substantial eaves storage.

A particular feature of this house is the beautifully landscaped west facing rear garden that is laid mainly to lawn with mature planting throughout the borders.
