Description

This exceptional Grade II listed Georgian house offers wonderful family accommodation throughout with unusually large proportioned rooms. The house has been lovingly cared for by the same family over the last thirty years and they will be sad to leave.

The house is end of terrace with a side entrance which results in the rooms to the front of the house being extra wide and spacious.

The double reception room on the ground floor has great light due to the two extra wide sash windows to the front. All the windows have working shutters and the two rooms have stunning cornicing, elegant fire places with marble surrounds and wonderfully useful fitted bookcases and cupboards. Unusually the original dividing doors still exist which allow for the rooms to be separated if required.

Steps lead you down to a guest cloakroom and the entrance to the garden which is so easily maintained with York stone paving and beds with mature plants and shrubs. The garden is West facing so enjoys wonderful afternoon and evening sun. Double garage doors at the end of the garden allow for off street parking which is so unusual in Islington and perfect for families wanting an EV charger.

On the lower ground floor is the fitted, eat in kitchen with wonderful AGA oven and granite worksurfaces. This is a light and airy room and has access to the two external vaults offering great storage. The formal dining room is to the rear. There is also an essential utility room on this floor.   

The principal suite on the first floor is, again, wonderfully wide with very elegant deep sash windows and stunning exterior iron works. The large en suite bathroom has a separate bath and shower.

The top two floors offers a further four bedrooms and two bathrooms.

This is a rare opportunity to buy a substantial Georgian house in the heart of Islington and needs to be seen to be appreciated. The house is offered chain free.
