Thornhill Crescent, London, N1

Located on one of the most sought-after garden squares in Barnsbury is this stylish two double bedroom garden flat, set within a substantial early Victorian end of terrace house. Offered to the market chain free, this handsome home offers good ceiling height throughout and benefits from its own front door, which leads into a bright and spacious hallway. The hallway features exposed brickwork, excellent natural light and grey sandstone tiled flooring, setting the tone for the rest of the home. There is also sufficient space to create a designated home office area, which is a remarkably useful addition in an age where so many people work from home. Also located in the hallway is a large storage cupboard, which also houses the washing machine.

The hallway leads into a bright designer kitchen, featuring white cabinetry, stainless steel worktops and tiled splashbacks. Leading off the kitchen is the vast reception room, which offers oodles of space and flows effortlessly into the delightful tiered garden. The landscaped, low maintenance walled garden is a remarkably peaceful space arranged over three levels. Due to the property's orientation and its position at the end of the terrace, it benefits from direct sunlight throughout much of the day. The stylish reception room is a wonderful space, finished with oak parquet flooring, alcove shelving, a feature fireplace with a grand marble surround and cast iron radiators.

Also enjoying views over the garden is the second double bedroom, which benefits from solid oak flooring and a cast iron radiator. Adjacent to the second bedroom is a huge walk-in shower room. Set to the front of the property, with views over the front patio and the mature trees bordering St Andrew’s Church, is the generously proportioned principal bedroom. The principal bedroom benefits from sleek, bespoke built-in wardrobes running the length of the room, providing excellent storage. Like the rest of the property, the principal bedroom offers wonderful natural light, good ceiling height and considerable style, with parquet flooring, a cast iron radiator and a large sash window. The bathroom is fully tiled and finished with Villeroy & Boch fittings and Vola taps.

Thornhill Crescent is also home to the iconic St Andrew’s Church, which was built by the renowned Islington stonemasonry firm Dove Brothers. The siting of St Andrew’s Church helped to establish Thornhill Square, which dates back to the 1840s and was originally the largest open green space in Islington. Along with much of Barnsbury, the land originally belonged to the Thornhill family, whose name remains synonymous with this historic part of Islington.

Built circa 1850, Thornhill Square Gardens remains a true community hub, with a variety of local activities and events held throughout the year, including book clubs, fireworks displays and social gatherings. In addition, tucked away behind some of the grand Victorian terraces of Thornhill Crescent, you will find a tiny hidden woodland covering just 0.35 hectares. Barnsbury Wood is London's smallest nature reserve and is a wonderful local amenity.

The property enjoys a wonderful location, offering the best of the delights found in both Islington and King’s Cross. On your doorstep is a vast selection of wonderful local haunts, including The Hemingford Arms, Duchess of Kent, The Albion, Sunday and The Tamil Prince, to name just a few. Upper Street, Granary Square and Coal Drops Yard are also within easy reach, offering an array of boutique shops, delicatessens, bars and restaurants.

Furthermore, this light and airy home is within close proximity to Caledonian Road & Barnsbury Station, as well as Highbury & Islington, providing access to London Overground and the Victoria Line. Angel Underground Station provides access to the Northern Line, while King’s Cross St Pancras offers access to the Circle, Hammersmith & City, Metropolitan, Piccadilly and Victoria lines, as well as St Pancras International and National Rail services.
