Cloudesley Street, London, N1

Elegant Grade II listed Georgian house.

Description

This elegant late Grade II listed Georgian townhouse enjoys a prime position within the sought after Barnsbury Conservation Area and forms part of the historic Richard Cloudesley Estate, a distinguished terrace developed between 1825 and 1835.

The ground floor is centred around a magnificent double reception room featuring striking original period details, including fireplaces with marble surrounds, intricate cornicing, and large sash windows to both the front and rear, complete with working shutters. The generous width of the property creates an impressive entrance hall, while a guest cloakroom and access to the garden complete this floor.

On the lower ground floor, the spacious eat-in kitchen is positioned to the rear of the house and is fitted with stone flooring, a range cooker and a traditional butler sink. To the front lies a substantial dining room, ideal for entertaining. A separate pantry provides excellent storage, while double doors open directly onto the mature rear garden, which offers a patio area adjoining the house and an additional seating area at the far end. This floor also benefits from a utility room, cellar and access to two vaults.

The first floor hosts two exceptionally well-proportioned double bedrooms, both enjoying deep sash windows, fireplaces and marble surrounds. One room is currently arranged as a dressing room. A further dressing room/study adjoins the principal bedroom, and there is also a WC on this level.

The top floor provides two additional double bedrooms together with a family bathroom.
