3 bed maisonette for sale

Lonsdale Square, Islington, London N1

A magnificent period home located in the prestigious Lonsdale square.

This spacious property, occupying the ground and lower ground floors of a Grade II listed building on one of Islington's finest garden squares, perfectly balances Victorian charm with modern living.

The property has been beautifully and sensitively restored and contains a wealth of period features, including pine wooden floors and shutters, plaster cornicing and original fenestration. On the ground floor, an elegant and impressive bipartite double reception with an exceptional ceiling cornice and fireplace opens into a high-ceilinged kitchen/ dining area, finished to a high standard in keeping with the period feel of the property, with Plain English cabinetry and reclaimed Iroko surfaces. This double aspect space is flooded with natural light from the shuttered windows to the north and south. There is also a useful utility/ storage area and guest WC to the rear, which provides direct access to the large and tranquil garden.

The lower ground floor has a spacious and airy feel. There is a substantial master bedroom, with a Victorian fireplace and generously proportioned, south-facing windows, and a double guest bedroom with built in wardrobes. A third bedroom opens directly on to the sunny, south-facing patio and would also make an excellent home office. The lower ground floor is served by a stylish bathroom, also finished to a high standard.

As well as having access to the large shared garden to the rear, and to the garden square itself, the property also benefits from a private patio to the front as well as a useful cellar, which adds valuable storage space.

Lonsdale Square, in the heart of the Barnsbury Conservation Area, was designed by R C Carpenter and built between 1839-42. The square is built like a college quadrangle, with gothic hood mouldings, and steep-pitched gables.

The residential houses overlook the beautifully maintained square gardens. This location is exceptionally tranquil and secluded and yet is within easy walking reach of the vast array of local shops, restaurants and coffee bars of Upper Street, with transport links at Angel ?0.7m? & Highbury and Islington ?0.5m? To both the City & the West End.
