About
A design-led two-bedroom maisonette arranged over three levels, with a private entrance, roof terrace and sole use of a rear garden.
Set in the heart of Barnsbury, the apartment balances refined contemporary finishes with retained period detail.
Inside Entry is via a private lower ground floor, where two well-proportioned double bedrooms are positioned. The principal bedroom sits to the front with an en suite shower room.
A second shower room sits behind, finished with hand-painted zellige and concrete tiles by Mosaic Factory, Gessi copper fittings and a Toto washlet.
The rear bedroom incorporates built-in storage and opens directly to the garden through bifold doors, creating a strong connection to the outside space.
The raised ground floor is arranged around a kitchen and dining space, fitted with a Silestone worktop, Perrin & Rowe tap, and a suite of integrated appliances including Fisher & Paykel fridge/freezer, Smeg range cooker and Miele dishwasher.
To the rear, a second reception room or study features a working Victorian fireplace and House of Hackney wallpaper, with doors opening onto a terrace and onward access to the garden.
The first floor is given over to a full-width reception room with excellent natural light.
Period features including a ceiling rose, coving, full-height sash windows with shutters and bespoke joinery define the space.
A well-considered home, offering flexible living across three levels with rare outside space in a prime Barnsbury setting.
