To the rear is a notably large east-facing garden, extending to approximately 72 feet, offering a quiet and private outlook and providing an ideal setting for both entertaining and everyday living. The lower ground floor accommodates a spacious open-plan kitchen and dining room, forming a practical and social heart to the house with direct access to the garden.

Lonsdale Square is one of Barnsbury’s most distinctive addresses, defined by its Tudor-inspired Gothic architecture designed by R. C. Carpenter and constructed between the late 1830s and mid-1840s. The square is particularly valued for its communal gardens and calm residential character, while remaining well positioned for the amenities of Upper Street. A wide selection of shops, restaurants and cafés are within easy reach, alongside excellent transport connections providing access to the city, West End and beyond.
