Canonbury, N1 2QW

SOLD - A substantial and charming Grade II Listed late Georgian / early Victorian townhouse situated in the historic Canonbury Conservation Area. The property is set in an elegant terrace of similar properties, retaining many original period features, while offering accommodation across four stories and benefiting from a 70 ft rear garden. The property is reached via a large front garden and raised steps, and is set back from the road with an imposing facade with wrought iron balcony and intricate period detail. The property has been enhanced by the current owner while retaining period features including wooden floors, sash windows, a Georgian winding staircase and bannisters, wooden shutters, fireplaces and cornicing, particularly in the through reception room and imposing master bedroom. The rooms are extremely well proportioned throughout, benefitting from high ceilings on the main floors and floor to ceiling windows in the master bedroom. The house is south facing and benefits from an abundance of natural light throughout, with views of the Barbican and the City from the top bedroom. It is surrounded by greenery to both the front and the rear. The house is currently laid out to maximise living space and atural light with a large bathroom on the first floor next to the master bedroom, although there is plenty of scope to extended or modify the existing layout subject to the necessary consents. The 70 foot garden backs on to St Paul's Shrubbery. The garden has two patios separated by an area currently laid to lawn and surrounded by a diverse range of attractive shrubs and plants. Many of the neighbours are long term residents of the neighbourhood, and the Canonbury Society functions as an actively engaged conservation and residents' association for the area. There is a range of nearby transport links providing easy access to the City and West End. Canonbury Station is a stone's throw away with the Victorian Line a ten minute walk away at Highbury Corner. Upper Street with its many vibrant bars and restaurants is a similar distance with the expanding and bustling local neighbourhood of Newington Green being closer still. There is an abundance of residents parking bays directly outside and along nearby streets.
