House For Sale £3,000,000
This wonderful Grade II listed Georgian townhouse dates from the 1830's and was designed by the preeminent English developer Thomas Cubitt, a favourite of Queen Victoria who went on to develop Belgrave Square and the facade of Buckingham Palace.
The current owners, an architect and interior designer, have restored the house's fine original details whilst modernising with more contemporary touches to create a stunning family home.
With accommodation arranged over five floors, the property is configured to include a self-contained one bedroom flat on the lower ground floor (the internal stairs remain) and a four storey maisonette above with its own private garden.
Accommodation comprises, on the ground floor a generous double reception room (currently used as offices) with extensive floor to ceiling bookshelves, solid oak flooring and a lovely aspect over the landscaped rear garden.
The original drawing room on the first floor has been retained and features a working fireplace with original fireplace surround, full height sash windows, decorative ceiling cornices and centre rose. There is a smart, contemporary kitchen to the rear with bespoke cabinetry, integrated appliances including an induction hob, fridge, dishwasher and recessed ceiling speakers.
There are four bedrooms arranged over the top two floors, all of which have ample built-in storage and including a large bedroom on the top floor, (currently used as an office) with an en-suite bathroom which could be converted to become a generous principal bedroom. There are two bathrooms on each of the half landings between the first and second floors including a sleek, stylish shower room with walk-in "wet" shower with a floor to ceiling glass partition and a large laundry cupboard.
The lower ground floor flat is independently accessed from the street and comprises a spacious reception room with an open-plan kitchen, double bedroom with built-in storage and a modern bathroom.
Of particular note is the mature 50' south west facing garden which has been completely re-designed and is now a fully mature haven winning a London Garden Society award presented by Prince Edward for "Best Rear Garden in London" in 2007.
College Cross is a short, tree-lined street in the heart of the Barnsbury Conservation Area. It is a short distance away from Upper Street with its fashionable shops, bars and restaurants. The nearest Underground station can be found at Highbury & Islington (Victoria, Mainline & Overground services - 0.5 miles) and provides quick and easy access to the West End and to King's Cross/St Pancras International for high speed connections to Europe. The green spaces of Highbury Fields are within easy reach as are Marks & Spencer, Waitrose and Sainsbury's at Angel. Please note that all distances are approximate.
